How Many Trail Blazers Will Remain After Three Years?

Today we published aBlazer’s Edge Mailbag questionwherein a reader asked how thePortland Trail Blazerswould fare in a (presumably) post-Damian-Lillard era. The Magic 8-Ball pretty much said, “Outlook fuzzy, ask again later.” Truly, the answer to “how” depends greatly on the “who”. Do we even know which current players will still be on the team in 2026?

That’s the question we want to put before you today. Here’s the list of the Trail Blazers roster as of early September, 2023:

• Damian Lillard
• Keon Johnson
• Shaedon Sharpe
• Jusuf Nurkic
• Anfernee Simons
• Jabari Walker
• Kevin Knox
• Nassir Little
• Scoot Henderson
• Ibou Badji
• Kris Murray
• Rayan Rupert
• 妈tisse Thybulle
• John Butler
• Jerami Grant

First, how many of these players do you think will be suiting up for the Blazers three years from now. Second, which players have the greatest (or least) chance to endure that far?
