The Trail Blazers Still Need a G League Team

Portland is currently one of two franchises without their own team. That's going to change at some point.

LAS VEGAS — Like the other 29 teams, the Trail Blazers had a strong contingent of front-office and scouting staff at the NBA's annual G League Winter Showcase. Unlike all but one of those other franchises, they did not have a team playing.

The Blazers are one of two teams (the other being Phoenix) without their own G League affiliate. It's well past time for that to change, and it's going to at some point.
