Grant has not accepted the offer, sources said, largely because the Blazers can extend him a larger contract with an additional fifth year once free agency begins June 30. At that point, Grant, who turns 29 in March, could receive $233 million over a five-year… Source link

The Portland Trail Blazers have lost 20 of their last 22 games. They’ve dropped 10 in a row, covering just once. If tanking was an art form, they’d be Pablo Picasso. Their latest one-sided piece was a 50-point thrashing at the hands of the Mavs as 19.5-point underdogs. Today, they’ll be 19.5-point dogs on BetMGM again as they end the season at home versus the Utah Jazz. R.I.P. City Portland’s opening night starting lineup of Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, and Jusuf Nurkic is a distant memory…. Source link
