Lillard vs Morant Starting Puzzle | Portland Trail Blazers News
from Portland Trail Blazers News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
The Portland Trail Blazers are facing a starting lineup dilemma after their big Ja Morant trade, with six elite players vying for five spots. Coach Micah Nori has signaled Lillard as the starter if healthy, and Avdija and Clingan are likely locks — leaving Morant, Holiday, and Camara to battle for the final two. The big debate? Can Lillard and Morant coexist in the backcourt without disrupting the team’s offense or defense? Some argue Morant should come off the bench to preserve Lillard’s starting role and maximize his impact late, while others see the pairing as a natural fit. With contracts, chemistry, and team identity on the line, the decision rests with Nori — and the future of this roster hinges on how they navigate this high-stakes puzzle.
