Cameron McGriff and Brandon Williams have been removed from health and safety protocols just as their day tenures with the team come to an end. The team is yet to announce whether the pair will get second day contracts.

The result of that play: a smooth two points. If the Blazers pack it in before the deadline, Ben McLemore could emerge as a desirable buyout candidate.
He is instant offense and comfortable in a defined role. Contenders could do much worse after the trade deadline passes. Nurkic lived up to expectations tonight. The Kings are the worst team in the league when it comes to surrendering points in the paint. He dominated the glass and nearly completed a triple double.
Folks, Charles Barkley was right. The former big man spent the entire pre-game show preaching a win for the No. Damian Lillard hit six threes on his way to 34 points, five rebounds and five assists, while Jusuf Nurkic earned a tidy double-double in just the first quarter.
Hassan Whiteside had perhaps the most impressive performance though, as his late-game defensive heroics seriously shifted the momentum; the centre ended up with 5 blocks, including one with 3 minutes to go that led to a Lillard three-pointer. An engaged Hassan Whiteside could is a dangerous, dangerous weapon off the bench for the Portland Trail Blazers. In this kind of series, especially. The center worked his way to seven points, eight rebounds and five blocks off the bench, with two of those rejections coming in the final few minutes.
Whiteside was focused, engaged and constantly challenged shots at the rim. Anthony Davis was 8-of this evening, and Whiteside certainly played a part. The Blazers deserved this game tonight for that fourth quarter alone, but they were fortunate to be in that position. The Lakers had their chances this evening, and will not play this badly again. LA shot 5-of from three, a stat which will probably not repeat itself.
Eventually, the Lakers will start knocking down shots- if they had done tonight, they probably beat the Portland Trail Blazers by double digits.
If the Blazers are going to improve this roster, one of the ways they can accomplish as much is by using their draft capital. If they have a high draft pick, that would help them retool their roster in a very necessary way. However, at the end of the day, none of these players fit the same timeline as the year-old Lillard. Perhaps such a deal could resemble the trade that sent Kevin Love to the Cavaliers in exchange for the draft rights to No.
That ought to be the ultimate goal for whoever takes over the front office for the Blazers. The Georgia Bulldogs are your National Champions for the first time since The Nets will look to get back ….
The Mavericks are coming …. Villanova …. More FTW.
