Summary:

Here, the Blazers go big game hunting early on to add to their core. Bringing in a veteran All-NBA caliber player in Sabonis can really help the Blazers climb up the standings in the West. And by getting off Grant's bad contract, the Blazers ensure they still have enough cap space for next year to try and make a full-court press for one of the top FAs in that deep class.
