Who knows if they even make it. If you were a free agent why wouldn't you sign up to play with him though? I'm holding out hope he gets a ring and retires a Blazer.
What's the history of big free agents signing with Portland? I'm not even being facetious.
Well, if you want to look at this 2016 article...it's not good.

It's not about markets anymore. It's about situations. Guys can team up anywhere if they think they can win. Just look at how everyone fell all over themselves to get to fucking Cleveland when LeBron was there.

Not one elite player in their prime signed with Cleveland. Love was via a trade and Kyrie was already there. Everyone else was a washed up former star or role player.

I agree with the general sentiment, but most star free agents sign in bigger markets.

I noticed DeRozan changed shoes at halftime. The shoes weren't why Jrue dropped you with that crossover bro.
