Norman Powell s free agency is the Blazers first personnel domino. If he leaves, Damian Lillard is almost bound to follow him.
To be fair to Neil Olshey, it s not like the Trail Blazers have readily available paths to the type of major roster upgrades that could vault them to legitimate championship contention.
