If I’m not mistaken, tomorrow (Oct. 17) is the last day Nassir Little and the Trail Blazers can come to an agreement on a rookie contract extension. If not, Little likely becomes a restricted free agent at the end of the season (the approach they took with Anfernee Simons, btw). – 7:50 PM

More on this storyline

Nassir Little knows he isn’t being talked about much. At 22, he’s still young enough to be thought of as a prospect, but going into his fourth season coming off a strong 2021-22 season cut short by a shoulder injury, he’s ready to be much more than that. “Right now, I’m transitioning into a point in my career where [I’m] not a ‘project’ no more,” Little said in a recent interview. “I’m an actual product, you feel me? And obviously, I’m going to continue to get better, but now it’s like, ‘he’s a player.’ It’s not, ‘Put him out there and let him develop.’ This year is where I think I’m going to take a jump, for real.” -via Rose Garden Report / August 16, 2022
