The Portland Trail Blazers' lone franchise championship came in 1977, but they've quietly had a surprising role to play in recent victors. They most notably shipped Jrue Holiday to Boston as the missing piece to get the Celtics over the top in 2024. But the Celtics weren't the only ones with a league-altering and historical impact on this decision, as it was also the Blazers' indecision to pursue Brown. The Blazers, even with Brown, would never be contenders for James. Hopefully that happens in the coming seasons, as those Bucks picks could finally give the Blazers a path to coming away with a superstar of their own.
