It's a Monday Mail Bag edition of the Jacked Ramsays podcast where hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague do their best to answer as many of your questions as possible. With less than 3 days remaining before the NBA Trade Deadline February 10th and the Portland Trail Blazers having already made a significant change to the roster; sending out Norman Powell and Robert Covington - two starters, and taking back Eric Bledsoe, Justise Winslow, Keon Johnson and a 2nd round pick - many are wondering.. what gives? The Blazer got under the luxury tax, but that doesn't help “the team” in any tangible way a fan can like and/or appreciate so what comes next? Was Jusuf Nurkic's comment to Jason Quick only weeks ago around how interim GM Joe Cronin told him that the Blazers would look to build around Nurkic, CJ McCollum and Damian Lillard not quite as solid of a commitment? Are the Blazers looking more towards the future and building around Lillard and Anfernee Simons? Will the Blazers look to move on from both McCollum AND Nurkic in such a short period? Are the Blazers having a rebuild on the fly that hasn't been acknowledged? What will the Blazers do with Eric Bledsoe's contract - is he going to play for them? Tune in and find out!

The NBA All-Star rosters are set for for 2022 game in Cleveland. Did the coaches get it right? Or did they deeply bungle the reserve nominations? Okay they mostly got it right. There's a couple quibbles that might be quickly fixed by injury replacements. There will be no Trail Blazers represented at this year's All-Star festivities, but it's still worth looking closer at the teams as a snap shot of league this season.Plus, Blazers interim (for now) GM Joe Cronin spoke to Mark Medina of NBA.com. The interview is largely a nothing-burger chock full of platitudes and cliches. But maybe just maybe Cronin tipped his hand. This interview coupled with what Jusuf Nurkic told The Athletic in January is pointing towards the Blazers trying to build the team around Nurkic, Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum. Again. That can't possibly be right? But what if it is? Did Cronin let us in on the secret or just give a PR mouthful of nonsense ?Finally, Larry Nance is likely to return after a month due to a knee injury. His return is less about winning games and more about the next steps for the Blazers. Nance's present and presences will help inform the Blazers future. Learn more about your ad choices.
