There’s a host of names we have that can all be a contributing part of the upcoming roster. The younger players also look very exciting for us. He may start a little slow as he gets back into the competitive flow, but I expect him to be at his true best this year. l expect Dame to have a very strong season this year after having a long recovery time. To every Blazers fan’s joy, Dame quashed any trade rumours by signing an extension deal with the team until 2026-27. Every summer, he gets photoshopped in a Miami jersey (but then again, everyone does). There have always been question marks over Dame’s future as a Blazer. Simons is athletic, silky and a composed shooter, and hopefully a major part of the Blazers’ future.Īs mentioned however, the focus is the now, and how we can maximise our chances of winning a ring while our franchise cornerstone Damian Lillard is in his prime. The 23-year-old was handed a four-year extension worth a reported $100 million, something that may raise a few eyebrows across the league, but I’m sure all Blazers fans are happy with the deal. The latter was given more minutes last season and proved he was deserving of the increased play-time, ranking 16th in field goal percentage and 9th in three-point percentage among shooting guards. Lillard and Simons are the stars of the roster. Looking forward to the 2022-23 season, the main talking point is the same as always: ‘How can we get Dame the right help?’ – something that the Blazers have never quite nailed.
