The Portland Trail Blazers had likely the feel-good moment of the offseason. That is, of course, when it was announced that Damian Lillard<\/a> was coming back to the franchise<\/a>. The team\u2019s all-time career scoring leader probably won\u2019t play in 2025-26 after tearing his Achilles<\/a>, but he will be back appearing for Portland the following season. They also traded for Jrue Holiday<\/a> from the Boston Celtics during the offseason. On Tuesday, they agreed to a deal with another guard as Blake Wesley<\/a> is joining the Trail Blazers on a one-year deal.<\/p>\n
