Nate Duncan (@NateDuncanNBA) of The Dunc'd on Podcast joins the program to talk about the Trail Blazers ahead of the trade deadline and what direction the franchise will take from here. Can Portland trade veterans and retool around Damian Lillard or is it time to launch the full on rebuild and see what massive trade haul for Lillard is out there? Plus we discuss the trade value for Robert Covington and Jusuf Nurkic, options available for a CJ McCollum trade and the growth of Anfernee Simons and Nassir Little. It's a jam packed show looking at the next few months of challenging decisions in Portland. There's no clear path forward but the time to make big decisions is coming quick.

It's the latest Special Delivery Mailbag from Locked On Blazers! It's time to answer your questions about Anfernee Simons joining Damian Lillard in the next iteration of Portland's backcourt. Is moving forward with two small guards a reasonable plan? How is it any different than CJ McCollum and Lillard of the past six seasons? Is it groundhogs day or does Simons offer more upside? How can you maximize two small guards? Plus, I take a stab at a mock deadline, remaking the Blazers with fake trades sending out McCollum, Nassir Little, Jusuf Nurkic and Robert Covington. Did this scenario of fake trades actually help? Well, how familiar are you with the Charlotte Hornets? And finally we close the show talking about halftime acts. Yes, that's right. Red Panda, Amazing Sladek, Chin Balancer. Let's discuss all of them.

The Portland Trail Blazers dispatched the Sacramento Kings, 103-98, on Sunday night at the Moda Center in a game without Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum or Norman Powell. Anfernee Simons had 31 points, Jusuf Nurkic came up one assist shy of a triple-double and the Kings did their part by being pathetic. It was a nice win for a team that hasn't had many of them in a while, but news broke before tip off that suggests the shorthanded Blazers might be shorthanded for a while longer and perhaps even the remainder of the season. Chauncey Billups said pregame that Lillard will not accompany the Blazers on an upcoming six-game road trip and instead will go see specialists to discuss his season-long abdominal issue. Lillard could opt for surgery or perhaps just shut it down for the remainder of the season as the Blazers head towards a lottery pick as they slip further from the playoff picture. If the Blazers are headed for an official tank job and away from the current unofficial tank job, how should fans watch a team that isn't trying to winning? Hint: It's all about Simons and Nassir Little. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Then we zoom out to take a look at the direction of the Blazers in the second half of the season and as the trade deadline approaches.

What are the futures of McCollum, Simons and Norman Powell in Portland? What will the Blazers prioritize in the final 46 games of the regular season. Plus, Jason shares an all-time great Andre Miller story. Listen for that and stay for the perspective on the direction of the Blazers over the next six months. Learn more about your ad choices.

Blazers win against Atlanta Hawks Anfernee Simons explodes for 43 points! Blazers lose against Miami Heat Ejections for Jusuf Nurkic, Tyler Herro, and Kyle Lowry Should the Blazers shut down Damian Lillard? Moves the Blazers can make for the future AND MORE

It may be cold outside but it was awfully hot inside Moda Center tonight between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Miami Heat tonight. Miami leaves with a 115-109 victory over Portland, but not before both Kyle Lowry and Tyler Herro were ejected alongside Jusuf Nurkic for the Blazers. It wasn't the best-played game, with Portland struggling to do anything offensively in the first half outside of getting to and making free throws. The ejection of Lowry allowed Anfernee Simons to go absolutely nuclear in the 3rd quarter following his 18 point performance in the 3rd against the Atlanta Hawks with a 20 point explosion in the 3rd quarter against the Heat. You get what is probably the best of both worlds here - young players getting real reps in games that have consequences still, while not winning a game and keeping the lottery numbers as high as you can possibly be. Hop on in with Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague as we break down the game, Simons' big night (again) and the tale of the tape between Nurkic and Herro!

The Ant's are marching in... and leading the Portland Trail Blazers to a victory in Portland, 136-131 over the Atlanta Hawks. A game that saw Trae Young go for 56 points and 14 assists, also saw Anfernee Simons for for43 points and 7 assists - with some inspired play from Jusuf Nurkic down the stretch that was equal parts nail biting and unbelievably calming. Nurkic finished the night with numerous boneheaded plays but also balanced it out with absolutely captivating finishes at the rim and clutch free throws - to the tune of 21 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists. It was the FULL Jusuf Nurkic Experience. While he won't get the headlines, Nassir Little put together a stellar offensive performance as well - 22 points and 9 rebounds, shooting 4-for-5 from behind the 3-point line. All in all, it was the kind of night Portland needed - even if they opt to “tank” the season. Even during the longest of poor stretches, a good performance that indicates growth and experience and results in a positive outcome.... it's good to see.

Seven Trail Blazers have entered the league's health and safety protocols and are set to miss 10 days before they are eligible to return to action. Portland will be without Jusuf Nurkic, Robert Covington, Dennis Smith Jr., Ben McLemore, Cody Zeller and Keljin Blevins for at least the next 10 days, and somewhere between four and give games, after all seven players were put into the protocols in the days after Dec. 24. The Blazers have since signed three players out of the G League and enter Monday's game against the Dallas Mavericks with just nine available players and a massive lack of frontcourt depth. So what's next for Portland? Will they add another big man? Will this 10 days officially tank their season? Is Damian Lillard about to do some super hero stuff? There's a lot of questions and at least some of them get answered in this episode. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Dan is joined by the ever awesome Tara Bowen-Biggs (@tcbbiggs) from the We Have A Take podcast to discuss everything in the world of the Portland Trail Blazers. Together, they cover the front office transition from Neil Olshey to Joe Cronin, Damian Lillard's future, CJ McCollum's health and play, Jusuf Nurkic's struggles, Nassir Little's breakout, defensive problems, lineup changes, Ben Simmons, potential trade targets and sooooo much more. TIMESTAMPS⬇️

The Trail Blazers on Thursday introduced interim GM Joe Cronin at a press conference, er conversation, at the team's practice facility. Cronin gave the Blazers fans a look at his even keel demeanor and his vision for the future of the franchise, which he openly admitted needs some changes. In this episode, Jason Quick of The Athletic joins to discuss Cronin's first public comments, the possibility of trading CJ McCollum, Jusuf Nurkic and Robert Covington and how Cronin will likely retool the roster around Damian Lillard.

The Portland Trail Blazers lost on Monday night, falling 102-90 to the LA Clippers. But unlike recent losses that were demoralizing and embarrassing this was downright heartening. Playing without Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, Anfernee Simons and Nassir Little the Blazers showed some real grit. Jusuf Nurkic (season-high 31 points) had a big night, Norman Powell shouldered more of the scoring load and Portland hung with the Clippers for 45 minutes before faltering down the stretch. Plus, The Athletic reported that Dame is unsettled and has simmering issues with Chauncey Billups. Damian Lillard criticized the report as journalists hunting for drama. What if everyone is right?

Join hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague as they take a look at Monday night's Trail Blazers vs Clippers game that saw Portland lose to Los Angeles 102-90, albeit in significantly less spectacular fashion than their previous three. Without Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, Anfernee Simons or Nassir Little - the shorthanded Blazers relied on Norman Powell (29 points) and Jusuf Nurkic (31 points) to carry the offensive load. While they came up short, the product on the floor was so much better than it has been for the past few weeks, that it's hard to fathom a game where they never really pushed ahead or in front of their opponent being such a massive improvement. The vibes, while not an official scale, were definitively better with McCollum off the floor - and it appears the message of heart, hustle and give-a-damn at least resonated enough to manifest is cursory level commitments. Unfortunately, the system is still very broken but when things have been so awful recently, it's nice to not ring the same bells following a loss. Hop on the stream, get in the chat and get ready for a road rematch with Steph Curry and the Warriors Wednesday night.

It's a Mail Bag Monday on the Jacked Ramsays podcast with hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague taking on as many of your questions as they can tackle in an hour. With Neil Olshey fired early Friday morning, questions centered around who would fill in temporarily (that's Joe Cronin) and once that was confirmed, who is Joe Cronin (Interim GM) and what will he be able to do for the Trail Blazers in the meantime? Could Cronin end up the full time GM? How much power - if any - will Cronin have to make a move? Under Paul Allen, interim GM Chad Buchanan was instrumental in guiding the franchise towards Damian Lillard, so it's not unheard of that big moves could be undertaken but the not full titles Cronin. If it's not Cronin - who could it be? Brent Barry, Tayshaun Prince, Danny Ainge, Scott Perry and Mark Eversley all have been named as possible additions and their task at hand is no small won. Following an epic throttling at home by the Boston Celtics (which was preceded by another beat down by the San Antonio Spurs), it's become clear to anyone and everyone that the Blazers need immediate change from the ground up. The core pillars beyond Damian Lillard - CJ McCollum and Jusuf Nurkic - need to be on the move in order for Portland to make real change and reshape the roster. With only 10 days before December 15th and nearly all NBA deals becoming available for addition in trades, whoever is tasked with these moves will have a short time to get it done - what does that look like? Should the Blazers make a move immediately? Is this season salvageable? What packages are out there for players not named Ben Simmons? That and more on this week's Jacked Ramsays mail bag podcast!

Join host Danny Marang for the Jacked Ramsays post game, where he'll take a look at Saturday night's game between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Boston Celtics that saw the Blazers fall 145-117. A record for points by the Celtics against the Blazers and the most that the Blazers have given up this year. As has been the case with the Blazers on most nights, their opponent got what they want, when they wanted it and were met with very little resistance. The Celtics started off 12-13 from the field and were up 17 points in under 9 minutes of action. The only positive was Jusuf Nurkic scoring at will against Enes Kanter Freedom... which, really only served to keep Portland from going down 30+ in the first frame. CJ McCollum tried to insert himself into the game at all the wrong times and all the wrong places, serving only to drive the Blazers further into the ground. Thankfully, in the 2nd quarter the Celtics forgot how to basketball and allowed the Blazers to compete for just long enough to get you to accept keeping the channel on the game. However, as we should've known then.. it was a foolish errand. Instead, you hung around (foolishly) and watched the home town team get absolutely punked on their home floor by a five-foot-eleven-inch kid from West Linn.

The Portland Trail Blazers lost to the Utah Jazz 129-107 on Monday night, capping an 0-3 road swing with a disheartening loss in Salt Lake City. Utah shredded Portland in the second half as the Blazers fell to 1-10 in road games to begin the season. But look, it's not all bad news. Anfernee Simons was a legit bright spot, Jusuf Nurkic had a nice night, uhhh the Blazers wore nice jerseys, too. Plus, the next month offers a bunch of home games with a chance to fattened up with wins in the Moda Center and build some good habits heading into 2022. Learn more about your ad choices.

Join hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague for the Jacked Ramsays Post Game show, streaming live following Friday night's Trail Blazers vs Warriors game. No one in the starting lineup had a game to write home about. Norman Powell left with a quad injury, Jusuf Nurkic couldn't keep the Warriors off the glass (or keep from fouling), Robert Covington was left to do what he wanted (which he could never really figure out), CJ McCollum ball stopped at wildly inopportune times while disappearing defensively and Damian Lillard consistently tried to attack traps, double-teams and help-side pressure. Meanwhile, Portland's bench was scoreless in the first half, not helping really in any manner and with that all in place, Portland was in it with a few minutes to go in the 1st half and then they got Warriors'd. Blitzed in a 16-2 run the close out the half that made it feel like it was a 30 point game in only a manner the Warriors are able to do. The second half saw Anfernee Simons come to life, scoring all of his 19 points in the final 24 minutes on a barrage of 3's and floaters. Combined with some decent shot making by Lillard and McCollum Portland closed the gap to 7 but then the Warriors went Warriors again and that was that.

In spectacular fashion, the Portland Trail Blazers lost yet another road game by allowing an inferior opponent to score at will from anywhere and everywhere. Unfortunately, tryptophan can't even be used as an excuse for the sluggish defensive effort as the Blazers lost to the Kings 125, 121. Join hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague as they break down an inexcusable effort from the Trail Blazers - dropping a game they had absolutely no business dropping. For all of the “rounding a corner” think pieces that have been put together, this team has yet to put an entire performance of 48 minutes together, let alone multiple games. While the result is often highlighted, the process is where the fruit is born and so far - Portland's process this season has been severely flawed on the road. Jusuf Nurkic and Damian Lillard blew up the box scores - scoring 60 points, grabbing 26 rebounds, dishing out 15 assists and only allowing for 4 turnovers. Output like that should almost always lead to a Blazers win, and yet this season - nothing is assured.

Join hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague as they break down Saturday night's Portland Trail Blazers victory over the shorthanded Philadelphia 76ers, 118-111. First and foremost, Damian Lillard had his most productive night of the year - scoring from all levels, getting to the free throw line and setting the tone for the Blazers all night long. Nassir Little, Norman Powell and Jusuf Nurkic put up wildly efficient scoring nights - all notching double figures and putting pressure on the rim throughout the game. The Blazer's defense came up in key moments, but in a game where the opponent was missing a large chunk of their offense and still going 10 deep on the roster, you likely wanted to see more from them in that regard. If you're looking for some building blocks, the Blazers didn't come out flat in the first quarter but instead saved that for the 4th quarter - allowing the game to get much closer than it should've. Portland executed well down the stretch where Philadelphia fell short, losing the ball a handful of times and missing open looks when they came their way.

Join hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague as they break down Wednesday night's game between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Chicago Bulls that saw the Blazers continue winning at home with a 112-107 victory. It was a tale of two halves as the Blazers struggled in nearly every facet through the first 24 minutes. CJ McCollum didn't register a counting stat outside of a foul in 20 minutes of action. Damian Lillard was nowhere to be found and DeMar DeRozan was a God among men. The problem for the Bulls? There was another half to play and the Bulls went into the locker room and played the role of the fool. Settling for shots, getting sloppy with the ball and what looked to be tired legs (and an over-reliance on Zach LaVine and DeRozan for the short handed Bulls) mixed with an hell-bent Larry Nance Jr super charging the Blazer's attack... and well, the game went entirely sideways. Jusuf Nurkic came out with a point to prove and when the Blazer's came knocking, he answered the call. Taking advantage of an undersized frontcourt, rebounding when it matters and impacting the game defensively. All in all a great game, borderline beast like even!

The guys break down Denver's 5th-straight win, a 124-95 triumph over the Portland Trail Blazers from the Winner's Lounge. Nikola Jokic absolutely dominates Jusuf Nurkic, Bones Hyland continues to establish himself as the leader of Denver's bench, Aaron Gordon's defense isn't tapering off, and much more! Also, Harrison Wind calls in from the Nuggets' postgame pressers at Ball Arena aka The Munder Dome.

The Nuggets absolutely eviscerate the Portland Trailblazers to go 5-0 on the homestand. No Will Barton (or MPJ) (or Jamal Murray), no problem. Jokic goes galaxy brain in the first quarter, and then juggernaut the rest of the way. Denver dominates on both ends of the floor and poor Jusuf Nurkic.

As bad as the Blazers were on the court last week, they may have found a way to be worse off of it.  We discuss a 1-3 road trip that ended with a disastrous blowout loss to Denver as well as the continued investigation of Neil Olshey creating a toxic work environment and the resignation of CEO Chris McGowan.There seems to be no shortage of issues with the team right now and we discuss what it's like rooting for a team that doesn't seem to have a plan right now.Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/familytwine or drop us an email at familytwinepodcast@gmail.com.Special thanks to Andreas Moll for the intro and outro music, https://pixabay.com/music/alternative-andreas-woll-onionizer-2005/

Fresh off a 1-3 road trip that saw the Portland Trail Blazers look listless in every performance, coach Chauncey Billups had some strong words as it pertains to the state of the team. Host Danny Marang takes a look at what coach Billups had to say and answers as many of your pressing questions as he can. The comments in question from Chauncey Billups tonight, “I don't think there's one real reason to not have effort,” ““That point is coming. It's coming soon. When you think about it, if you keep playing that way, at some point you have to say something's not quite working,” and “I'm just confused at I don't think we came to compete in this game. I mean this is a team that beat us in the playoffs last year, and we don't come and compete in the first quarter...Just no fight.” Not exactly the kind of thing a team picked by many to win 50 or more games. Where do the problems fall? Unfortunately, there's no single scapegoat in Terry Stotts to nail to the proverbial wall and this time it's falling on the players - Jusuf Nurkic, CJ McCollum, Robert Covington and even Damian Lillard - are all under review and while it'll be a dark day in hell before Lillard is thrown under the bus - we'll take a look at the others mentioned and what might be happening sooner rather than later.

Blazers win! Hop on in and get involved with the Jacked Ramsays postgame show as hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague breakdown Saturday night's victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. No LeBron James, and while Anthony Davis played, he left the game with stomach illness just a few moments into the game. The Blazers took advantage of a short-handed team that, looked awful and disinterested at every turn. Watching the game it's hard to evaluate what the Lakers look like without their top end guys, but with that said - what is it this iteration of the Lakers is supposed to be good at? Poor floor spacing, old (read: washed) bigs that don't have the vertical spacing and athleticism they once had, Russell Westbrook is a Wile E Coyote in the flesh: full of ideas - all of them bad. On the Blazer's front - Jusuf Nurkic had his best game of the season, under control and making good, sound decisions with the ball and defensively. Three gold stars with only a slight eyebrow raise at the level of competition. Meanwhile, Damian Lillard operated like a burden had been lifted - showing strength and explosion in his game for the first time this season. He even pulled from DEEP range with confidence (he missed) but it showed he was feeling better, whatever that is/looks like. Jump on the stream, sit back and enjoy the show!

It's a back-to-back as the Portland Trail Blazers fresh of Friday night's victory get set to take on the LeBron James-less Los Angeles Lakers Saturday night in Portland. While there will be plenty of eyes on the floor, there will be whispers about President of Basketball Operations Neil Olshey's future after a late Friday night announcement (read: news dump) came out stating the Olshey was being investigated for creating and/or fostering a hostile and toxic workplace. The organization has released a statement acknowledging the investigation but no more at this time is known. How will this effect the team tonight? Some? Not at all? The night-to-night likely isn't impacted as much as the long term with so many variables surrounding the construction of this roster - however the major story lines will still hold up. Will Damian Lillard find his jumper? How about Jusuf Nurkic being the man he so desperately wants to be? Can Anfernee Simons and Norman Powell continue hitting nearly everything? Has Robert Covington woken up to start the season? Find out next on the Jacked Ramsays pregame with Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague!

The Portland Trail Blazers wrap up their 3-game trip through the Eastern Conference with a loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, 107-104. The loss has Portland at 3-5 on the season and 0-3 on the road trip -but more than that, with each passing game more questions are raised than answered. For every step forward, it's at least 2 steps back. Damian Lillard continues to struggle, CJ McCollum has cooled down, Jusuf Nurkic might as well still be in Bosnia at this rate and Anfernee Simons can only do so much in his role. What are the next steps for the Blazers? The schedule doesn't get any easier as they return home - the Indiana Pacers await them Friday with Lebron James, Anthony Davis and the Lakers right behind on a back to back. There's a lot of questions, a lot of confusion and A LOT of season remaining - join hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague as they try to make sense of tonight's game.

Join hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague as they take a look at Friday night's Trail Blazers victory over the LA Clippers, 111-92. In what was easily Portland's best and most consistent effort of the early season, the Blazers on the backs of their defense in a less refined offensive night carry the burden until the offense finally got on track in the second half. Damian Lillard seems to have found SOME rhythm, Paul George was nigh unstoppable and Jusuf Nurkic stat padded his way to 17 total rebounds. While the Blazers' stars will carry much of the discussion, the role players: Robert Covington, Larry Nance Jr and Cody Zeller all shined in different and very important fashions tonight. Come hop on the stream, enjoy the first back-to-back wins of the year and get involved. Ask questions, celebrate, and look forward to the first real road trip of the season as the Blazers get ready to take on the Hornet, 76ers and Cavaliers. Learn more about your ad choices.

Join Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague as they break down Wednesday night's Trail Blazers victory over the Memphis Grizzlies, 116-96. Damian Lillard found a part of his jump shot, Anfernee Simons continues to be instant offense off the bench, Larry Nance Jr introduced himself to Blazers fans, Cody Zeller made it through a game without needing medical attention, Jusuf Nurkic woke up in the second half while the duo of Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr collectively stunk the place up in about every way imaginable. Neither team opted to play defense in the first half and it came down to who had the will or desire to care enough in the second half. Turns out tonight it was Portland. Now 2-2 on the season, the Blazers have more questions in front of them to answer as they turn their eyes back towards the LA Clippers on Friday as they look to right the wrongs of their previous game.

Join host Danny Marang to relive... no... to commiserate over Monday night's absolute thumping of the Trail Blazers by the Los Angeles Clippers, 116-86. It's a night for burning the tape, having a laugh and moving onto the next. Remember, there's still 79 of these things, you have to pace yourself. Damian Lillard still looks like he's hampered, Jusuf Nurkic looked like a hamper, CJ McCollum tried to will some shots, no one REALLY cared to play defense, the ball was clearly covered in avocado oil (only when the Blazers had it), and Cody Zeller is not going to make it to the All Star break let alone finish the season in one piece at this point. So hop in, have some laughs, let all the bad stuff go and realize that it doesn't get any easier as a VERY good Memphis Grizzlies team comes to Portland Wednesday night featuring a red-hot Ja Morant and if Portland doesn't push this game off a cliff they could be down 1-3 through their first 4 games.
