Troy Wayrynen-USA TODAY Sports Portland will take assets and decisions into the summer, but that’s not always assuring. The Portland Trail Blazers are in “hurry up and wait” mode as the NBA Summer of 2023 approaches. The Blazers will enter June and July with a fancy draft pick, a young roster, and a talented-but-impatient superstar in tow. Working out their assets and needs will be a puzzle. The next few months are not going to be dull. In the meantime, it’s no fun sitting in the waiting room, not knowing what the prognosis is going to be. That’s the situation...

Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley has identified the Blazers’ biggest need as a player...

Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports Ducks Fade in NCAA Westfield Regional A year after challenging for a national title, Oregon’s Women’s Golf team’s season ended one stop short of a chance to do it again. Competing as the #2 Seed in the Westfield (Indiana) Regional, the Ducks never caught fire, finishing 10th overall and missing out on an NCAA Tournament bid. To head to Scottsdale for the Finals, Oregon needed a top-5 finish in Westfield. On Day One, Senior Briana Chacon led the Ducks with the team’s only under-par round - she finished at one-under 71. She was...

Photo by Zac BonDurant/Icon Sportswire via It’s on to the NCAA tournament! A funny thing happened on the way to the Pac-12 baseball championship... #2 seed Oregon State not only did not make the finals; they didn’t survive out of pool play to reach the semifinals. #1 Stanford reached the semifinals and were doomed - having lost to Oregon, the Tree fell to #8 Arizona in the semis. #4 USC?

Photo by Soobum Im/ The Bosnian Beast has spent 7 years proving himself in Portland. Here’s who might bite on a deal for him. The whirlwind that was Jusuf Nurkic’s arrival with the Portland Trail Blazers six years ago breathed a renewed sense of excitement into a franchise that was, at the time, 18 months into a rebuild. The seven-footer was the Denver Nuggets’ second choice at center following the rise of fellow Balkan dweller Nikola Jokic. Portland pried him away from Denver, along with a 2017 first-round draft pick, for center Mason Plumlee. The accepted theory...

John E. Sokolowski-USA TODAY Sports The unrestricted free agent will be available, but potentially spendy. Could he back up the bigs in Portland? Most of the attention surrounding the Portland Trail Blazers revolves around what they’ll do with the third pick in the 2023 NBA Draft and how they’ll manage trades over the summer to bolster their starting lineup around superstar guard Damian Lillard.
