The Blazers are going to look slightly different next season

Last season, the Portland Trail Blazers held the fourth seed in the Western Coference playoff picture after posting a regular season record of 51-31.

Throughout the season, the Blazers starting lineup was as follows:

Damian Lillard PG
Wesley Matthews SG
Nic Batum SF
LaMarcus Aldridge PF
Robin Lopez C


Thanks to a particularly busy free agency period however, the Blazers are going to look slightly different next season.


Damian Lillard is now the only remaining starter from the 2014-15 campaign still on the roster. Robin Lopez took a deal to join the Knicks, while Wesley Matthews is set to join Western Conference foe Dallas. LaMarcus Aldridge is taking his talents to San Antonio, while fellow forward Nic Batum is Charlotte-bound.

The Blazers' 2015 playoff run ended with a disappointing and injury-plagued first-round exit, but when all healthy the Blazers' core group was extremely formidable. Now, it seems safe to say that the team has some holes to fill heading into the season.
