Blazers Pass on DeRozan | Portland Trail Blazers News

Portland’s front office is turning down DeMar DeRozan, despite rumors he might be a target — and here’s why: they’re prioritizing spacing and future fit over veteran scoring. With already poor three-point shooting last season, adding another non-shooter like DeRozan wouldn’t help their long-term vision. GM Joe Cronin’s move to sign Micah Potter and Jeremy Sochan to non-guaranteed deals signals a strategy of creating competition for roster spots — not just adding big names. The Blazers need talent, but they want players who complement their young core without hogging the ball. Finding the right fit at small forward remains critical for their rebuild.
