The 2000–01 NBA season was the 31st season for the Portland Trail Blazers in the National Basketball Association.[1] In the off-season, the Blazers acquired Dale Davis from the Indiana Pacers,[2] and All-Star forward Shawn Kemp from the Cleveland Cavaliers in a three-team trade.[3] The Blazers struggled losing three of their first four games, but soon recovered and later on posted a 10-game winning streak between January and February. At midseason, the team re-signed free agent and former Blazers guard Rod Strickland, who was previously released by the Washington Wizards. Falling nine games below the previous season's mark, the Blazers nevertheless made the playoffs for the 19th consecutive year, finishing as the #7 seed in the Western Conference with a 50–32 record.[4] Rasheed Wallace averaged 19.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game, and was selected for the 2001 NBA All-Star Game,[5] while Steve Smith provided the team with 13.6 points per game, and Bonzi Wells showed improvement averaging 12.7 points per game. Damon Stoudamire averaged 13.0 points and 5.7 assists per game, while Scottie Pippen provided with 11.3 points, 4.6 assists and 1.5 steals per game, and Arvydas Sabonis contributed 10.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.[6]

The Blazers faced the defending NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference First Round, the same team they had pushed to the brink the year before in the Western Conference Finals. However, without Wells, who went down with a knee injury during the final month of the regular season,[7] they were unable to do nearly as well this time, as the Lakers swept them in three straight games on the way to their second straight NBA championship,[8] where they defeated the Philadelphia 76ers in five games.[9]

Following the season, head coach Mike Dunleavy was fired after four seasons, and was replaced by former 76ers player Maurice Cheeks. Meanwhile, Smith was traded to the San Antonio Spurs,[10] Strickland signed as a free agent with the Miami Heat, Greg Anthony signed with the Chicago Bulls, Stacey Augmon signed with the Charlotte Hornets, and Sabonis and Detlef Schrempf both retired. However, Sabonis would return for the 2002–03 season.
