The Portland Trail Blazers have three veteran players inked to very movable deals through 2026, all currently in their mid-20s. Would it make sense for the team
to actually explore reinvesting in any of these pieces with potential extensions before they hit unrestricted free agency?The 2023-24 starting shooting guard will be shifted over to a starting point guard role for Portland this season. Simons will be only 27 when he hits free agency, and has already proven himself to be a high-level scorer.Ayton was, astoundingly, selected with the No.
He's not as good any of those players, but that doesn't mean he doesn't still have value as potentially an above-average starting center in the league. He wasn't quite that good last year, and has had some issues in certain postseason matchups, but was still a high-level contributing starter on an also-ran NBA Finals team in 2021. Ayton will be 28 when he next hits free agency — unless he's extended before then.
