Trail Blazers Are a REAL Play-In Threat, And WHY Their Front Office Got Suspended
Sean Highkin joined Cyro Asseo and Sam Yip on Around the Beat to break down why the Portland Trail Blazers are a legitimate play-in threat and why the recent suspension of two front office executives is not nearly as serious as it sounds. Highkin explained why the tampering fine was essentially a slap on the wrist, how Portland self-reported the issue, and why the organization clearly still sees Hansen Yang as a major part of its future.
He also discussed Portland’s late-season push, how the team has stayed competitive through injuries, and why the bigger story remains the Blazers’ long-term direction rather than a minor league punishment.
