Round 2 starts today. Read about the matchup and vote below!

Team 4:Rasheed Wallace, Arvydas Sabonis, Steve Smith2 Seasons (1999-2001)

Other Notables:Scottie Pippen,Damon Stoudamire

Their case: Choosing a top 3 in the Rasheed Wallace era was not easy. Steve Smith spent only two years in Portland, but during that span he was the best Blazers offensive player Sheed played with. The team was also the most successful during his tenure. Pippen had better overall stats than Sabonis, but Sabonis was superior on a per-minute basis. Since Sabonis was the bigger part of the team overall, he got the nod...barely. Rasheed was the only one of the group to make an All-star team as a Blazer. He was a natural fit. But this group’s claim to fame comes not in individual talent, but victories. After winning one Portland’s five division championships in 1999, this group posted the second-most regular season wins in Blazers history (59) in 2000 and was a fourth quarter collapse away from theNBA Finals(and most likely a championship).

Team 5:Damian Lillard,Nicolas Batum,LaMarcus Aldridge.3 seasons (2012-15)

Other Notables: Wes Mathews

他们的案例：Lillard-Aldridge-Batum Trio为波特兰赢得了一个分部的职称和季后赛系列，这是在十年中发生的第一次发生。Aldridge在三个直赛季制作了全明星赛，并获得了两个全部NBA团队荣誉。Lillard于2014年挑选了一年的一年奖，这是2014年的第3次团队所有NBA任命，并在2014年和2015年制造全恒星。Batum是一个适合两颗星的完美作品，从两颗星内占有贡献地面。2014年，Batum完成本季节平均为13分，7.5个篮板，5.1助攻，抢断和每场比赛的街区。他不是一个明星，但他很好地彻底地了解了三合会。
