Pre-season

[edit]

The Trail Blazers convened their preseason camp on September 14, 1970. Sixteen players reported to camp, which was held in the gymnasium at Pacific University in Forest Grove, Oregon.[22] Pat Riley was unable to attend the camp due to the death in his father. Players reported to drills at 10 am and 4 pm.[23] The first players to be cut from camp were third round draft pick Bill Cain and Tim Robinson, who had played for the Harlem Globetrotters from 1961 to 1965.[24][25]
