Morant to Blazers as Franchise Shifts | Portland Trail Blazers News

The Portland Trail Blazers just pulled off a blockbuster move, trading for Ja Morant in a bold bid to reboot his career and transform their roster — all while quietly dropping pursuit of Jaylen Brown. Morant, who’s been hinting at a comeback through cryptic social posts, reportedly lit up after learning he’s headed to Portland, where the team sees him as their cornerstone. His last season was derailed by injuries, but with a fresh start and a new city, expectations are high — and so is the pressure. Meanwhile, owner Tom Dundon’s standoff with the city over a $600 million arena renovation could force a relocation if no deal emerges. Portland’s future — on and off the court — is suddenly hanging in the balance.
