Wake up & be amaZing! The first step to Aging with Awesomeness is loving the person you see in the mirror. One of the first things I challenge our Trailblazers to do is imagine talking to their son or daughter and telling them, “there is only one of you. There will only ever be one of you and that makes you unique and special. That's pretty easy for them. The next part isn't as easy. I ask them to say it about themselves. Big crocodile tears. Almost every-time. When you like the person you are, making life choices becomes easier because you trust your own judgment. You recognize that you have the power to create whatever it is that you want for yourself and your family. Liking yourself allows you to share with others all the good you have in your heart. And the more you do, the more positive energy you have flowing in to your life. Set out today to put these tips into action. You'll enjoy your best life ever!

Gavin Schall and Alex Wolfe of Locked on Knicks join the program to discuss the parameters of a Portland Trail Blazers trade for New York Knicks forward Julius Randle. We set the stage with some discussion of the Blazers' offseason approach and why the current state of the team means they would be interested in a veteran forward like Randle. Then we discuss the outline of the trade and what both teams might ask for in the package and what the sticking points could possibly be for each team. Then we discuss Randle the player. His strengths, his weaknesses, his fit on the Blazers and why he took a step back in 2021-22 after an All-NBA campaign in his previous season. This is about out comprehensive as it gets for trade speculation in May. It's everything you need to know about the Julius Randle and his potential to land in Portland.

This week in #SeaOfThieves we started up the first Sea of Thieves Mystery and we found out that potentially one of the most popular characters in the game is dead. We also had a lot of teases about how to get started with the mystery and Rare taught the community what to look for. There's a lovely tribute to the history of Arena from Caleb at Trailblazers.net at the back half of the episode which ends with a good recap on Demarco and Lesedi the kids of the Pirate Lord.

Bryan Kalbrosky of For The Win and USA Today joins the show to talk all things 2022 NBA Draft. We touch on the NBA combine and which players improved their stock plus which players dropped after a week in front of NBA executives. Plus some discussion of how the combine works and why the interview process is a huge part of the pre-draft cycle. Then we talk about targets for the Blazers with the No, 7 pick, including Bennedict Mathurin, Dyson Daniels, Jeremy Sochan and Jalen Duren. Why Bryan values versatility above all else and how he builds his big board heading into draft season. We close the show looking at second round prospects the Blazers could select with the 36th pick in the draft, including Wake Forest's Jake LaRavia and Arizona's Christian Koloko.

The Portland Trail Blazers have the 7th pick in the 2022 NBA draft and a serious need to upgrade the roster. The best path to do so might be trading back in the draft and getting a player and another pick that would help the team now and into the future. Today's show offers five trade back deals where the Blazers at a veteran player that would help the team immediately while also grabbing a later first round pick that could either be used to select a promising rookie or further package in another. Listen for ideas about acquiring Julius Randle, PJ Washington and Kyle Kuzma for detailed explanations about how and why these deals could realistically happen. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's mock draft season with the lottery set and it's time to take a spin around the internet to see who the Trail Blazers are projected to pick with the 7th selection in the 2022 NBA draft. There are a few consensus targets with Memphis' Jalen Duren, Arizona's Bennedict Mathurin and Duke's AJ Griffin the most common names pegged to land in Portland. However, according to Jason Quick of The Athletic the Blazers might already be looking to trade their pick. Portland had hoped to land in the top four of the draft and grab a franchise altering type talent, but after slipping to seventh GM Joe Cronin, according to Quick, is working the phones and is likely to move the Blazers pick in favor of adding veteran help to a roster that needs upgrades at both forward spots, and wants to be competitive immediately.

The Portland Trail Blazers dropped one spot in the 2022 NBA Draft Lottery to lan the 7th overall selection. It was a deflating night at the end of a disaster season. Yikes. So what do they do now? Should they keep the pick? If they do, targets could include Baylor's Jeremy Sochan or Arizona's Bennedict Mathurin. Should they attempt to trade back and drop in the draft while adding another player? Or should they just try to swap the pick for an impactful veteran? One of these is the wrong path, but certainly all of them are on the board. After a walk through the Blazers options, we look back at the history of the seventh pick in the NBA draft to get a sense of what expectations for this draft slot should be.

The DeAndre Ayton free agency rumors are swirling after the Phoenix Suns were bounced out of the playoffs in the second round. Could the 23-year-old center end up in Portland? How is Damian Lillard involved in this suddenly more realistic rumor? Let's go through the math and the logic of how Portland could land Ayton and why a sign and trade with Jusuf Nurkic is the only realistic path to luring the former No. 1 overall pick away from Phoenix. Then to close the show let's have a little fun with the Blazers lottery odds. You know what's less likely than Portland landing the No. 1 overall pick? You getting into Harvard or winning the Price Is Right. I got the numbers to back it up. Music for Locked On Blazers by Drae Slapz.

It's draft lottery week in the NBA and the Trail Blazers are rooting for ping pong balls. Before the draft order is finalized on May 17, let's look back at the history of the Blazers in the lottery. How often have they moved up? How often have they fallen back in the order? And who have they selected to get themselves out of the lottery or keep themselves stuck on the outside of the postseason. We close the show with a mini mock draft, simulating the draft lottery and giving each of the Locked On NBA hosts a chance to make the pick in place of the team they cover. The Trail Blazers stayed in the No. 6 spot and your intrepid host went with Iowa's Keegan Murray. Was this the right selection? And how did Murray end up on the board at six?

Dan Bernstein was joined by Sean Highkin of Bleacher Report to discuss the NBA playoffs, the Grizzlies' rise and if there are legs to the rumor that Bulls star Zach LaVine could join the Trail Blazers in free agency. 

In the final hour, Dan Bernstein was joined by Sean Highkin of Bleacher Report to discuss the NBA playoffs and if there are legs to the rumor that Bulls star Zach LaVine could join the Trail Blazers in free agency. Later, Score afternoon host Danny Parkins called in with a big scoop, revealing the Bears' full 2022 schedule live on the airwaves.

After six months with the interim tag, Joe Cronin was named the Trail Blazers General Manager on Tuesday, signing a four-year deal to be the team's lead decision. The process to hire Cronin as the permanent GM was messy as there was no interview process with other candidates. That doesn't mean Cronin isn't capable of doing the job, but it sends a message that Blazers ownership is not remotely engaged in operating a basketball team. Cronin has had the job for six months and he's already made major moves with the roster. We revisit the massive overhaul and then look ahead to what could be next for the team with Cronin in charge of shaping the next iteration of the franchise. And we ask the big question, when is it okay to judge Cronin's job and evaluate the first time GM's work? It's not now. But it's coming. Music for Locked On Blazers by Drae Slapz.

The Trail Blazers are dreaming big heading into the offseason and are reportedly angling to sign free agent Zach LaVine, according to a report from ESPN's Brian Windhorst. There's so much to unpack on the Blazers pursuit of LaVine. Let's dig deep into how Portland can make the financials works, who they would have to give up in order to land LaVine and whether or not those sacrifices would be worth it in the short and long term. Finally what does it say about the Blazers that they are already linked to the biggest free agent name on the market? Can this team really sign a free agent of that caliber? Is this wishful thinking or a sign of a new, aggressive regime aiming huge with Joe Cronin guiding the Blazers front office? Music for Locked On Blazers by Drae Slapz.

We got NBA coaching news with Mike Brown hired by the Sacramento Kings and former Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts interviewing with the Los Angeles Lakers. Plus it's time to take a spin on the Tankathon machine, simulating the NBA draft lottery thrice to see where the Trail Blazers land. Will my comically bad luck continue or did Portland find its way into the top 3? To close the show, listeners have questions about the value of the Blazers getting a top pick and how landing higher up in the draft could lead to Portland trading back. Is there value to be had by jumping up in the lottery and then intentionally moving back on draft night? What happens if the Blazers land at four and how could that benefit them if they don't want to make their selection at that spot. Music for Locked On Blazers by Drae Slapz.

Join Danny Marang live with special guest Ricky O'Donnell of SBNation as they take a look at the upcoming NBA Draft. Together they'll preview Ricky's big board - evaluating where he deviates from others, who he really believes in and who he'd rather stay away from. Does he have a surprise #1 overall pick? Does he buy into Chet Holmgren long-term or does someone like Paolo Banchero or Jabari Smith Jr make for the safer and/or more effective play? With the NBA Lottery less than 2 weeks away, the Trail Blazers have a 37.2% chance of jumping into the top 4 and a 9% chance of landing the number one overall pick. While it's great to dream, the more likely scenario is that they're picking between 6-8. With that, who in that range makes the most sense for right now and/or the future? As guard heavy as Portland is, if the best player available is guard-esque such as Jaden Ivey (unlikely to be there, but still) or Shaedon Sharpe - does Portland need to take the risk of bloating the guard position to make sure they get the most bang for their buck? Or, should the Blazers factor in Damian Lillard's timeline and look to who's most ready now - say perhaps Keegan Murray? Finally, we'll ask Ricky what he would do if he were in charge in Portland. If the pick landed Top 4 and there was an offer on the table for OG Anunoby or Deandre Ayton - would he rather have the sure thing or the rookie scale option and look more towards the future?

The Clippers signed Robert Covington to a contract extension, a remind of the 3-and-D forward the Trail Blazers decided to trade away at the deadline. With RoCo gone and now inked to stay in LA, who might the Blazers pursue in free agency to fill the role vacated by the veteran forward. We're talking free agents targets with the Trail Blazers mid-level exception money specifically eying Bobby Portis and Kyle Anderson. How realistic and how useful would either of these signs be for Portland? We close the show with stupid jokes about who the Blazers should send to represent the team at the NBA draft lottery.

It's time for more lessons from the NBA playoffs that we can apply to the Portland Trail Blazers. In Miami, Duncan Robinson isn't getting off the bench in the second round of the playoffs. It's a reminder of how shortcomings and particularly shortcoming relative to your teammates are more glaring in the postseason. There are players built for regular season dominance (82 games) and players built for the test of the playoffs (16 wins). How many 16 game players do the Trail Blazers currently have on the roster? In Phoenix, the Suns started big and stayed big despite foul trouble to their top two centers. Where other teams might have gone small Phoenix has a roster built to play the same style of play while dipping into the depth chart. There is value in sticking to your identity. It's a lesson the Blazers should consider when building the roster this summer. And finally, how far from playoff contention are the Blazers right now? Like, today. This moment. Let's take way too early stock of where Portland sits in the 2023 playoff chase. Music for Locked On Blazers by Drae Slapz.

Who are the best fits on the current Trail Blazers roster among the top prospects in the 2022 NBA Draft? Starting at the top of the lottery we take a closer look at Auburn's Jabari Smith Jr., Duke's Paolo Banchero and Gonzaga's Chet Holmgren. Which of the consensus top three prospects would fit best with the Blazers and why that matters for a team like Portland. Then we drop down the lottery a bit to look at players in the 6-10 range that would be helpful for the Blazers. Iowa's Keegan Murray, Baylor's Jeremy Sochan and Duke's AJ Griffin could all be intriguing selections. But what about LSU's Tari Eason or Kentucky's Shaedon Sharpe? The Blazers will have plenty of tough choices if their pick falls outside of the top four in the draft. We close the show with a discussion of fit versus best player available and why a team like the Blazers needs to value fit over talent considering their current roster situation and their stated goals for the 2022-23 season.

Until the middle of the 20th century, most American workers didn't have the opportunity to plan for a long and fruitful retirement. But as life expectancy increased, government and employer policies changed and retirement communities developed, retirement at age 65 became another ritual of American life.Now as Americans live even longer, healthier lives, senior citizens are revolutionizing this facet of modern existence. Some choose to work into their 70s while others pursue new activities and learning opportunities. Though change might bring challenges as more seniors stay in the workforce, new ways of thinking around age and new technologies offer different approaches to community and connection. Join Walter Isaacson and guests as they rethink life after 65.Featuring Andy Achenbaum, Joe Coughlin, Chip Conley, Katie McCamant and Dor Skuler. For more on the podcast go to delltechnologies.com/trailblazers

It's fake trade season and it's venture into the trade machine wilderness and go hunting for transactions that will help the Portland Trail Blazers. What does a Justise Winslow, a large traded player exception and a future first land you on the trade market? How about Jonathan Isaac of the Orlando Magic or Kyle Kuzma of the Washington Wizards? With the Blazers in need of a starting level forward and limited avenues to land one would cashing in their chips to acquire Isaac or Kuz be worth it? Let's walk through the logic. And then to close the show a listener submitted trade idea sending Anfernee Simons to the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Lonzo Ball? Is the risk worth it for a better backcourt fit? Is an added first round pick enough to soften the blow os losing Ant? Would either team consider this? It's fake trade season! Music for Locked On Blazers by Drae Slapz.

How many elite skills do the Trail Blazers have on their roster? A deep dive into the tracking data on NBA.com and bball-index.com gives us a look a the numbers behind the top flight skills currently on Portland's roster. Anfernee Simons and Damian Lillard are both high level pick and roll navigators, but Simons is also an elite spot up shooter and could be growing into a dangerous cutter of the ball. All those numbers give us an outline of what the Blazers might look like with their backcourt pairing for next season. Jusuf Nurkic is going to set a ton of screens, which bodes well for the big man because the numbers suggest he's an elite roll man. Let Nurk work with Simons or Lillard and you've got then ingredients for a potent offensive attack. Nassir Little grades out as an elite scorer coming off screens. When you consider how he might fit into the offensive scheme next season, there's reason for optimism that the Blazers could get more out of this elite skill from their fourth year wing. Josh Hart and Trendon Watford are both elite isolation scorers according to the tracking data. Seriously. Elite iso scorers. What might that mean for two Portland role players going forward?

Am I “The Greater Fool”? I've been rewatching The Newsroom on HBO. There's a seen where a cast member explains what a greater fool is and I haven't forgotten that seen or it's message and it was 6 or 7 years ago, but seeing It again and doing what I do and believing what I do has prompted me to share this. “The greater fool is actually an economic term. It's a patsy. For the rest of us to profit, we need a greater fool— someone who will buy long and sell short. Most people spend their life trying not to be the greater fool; we toss him the hot potato, we dive for his seat when the music stops. The greater fool is someone with the perfect blend of self-delusion and ego to think that he can succeed where others have failed. This whole country was made by greater fools.” I think that I can succeed where others have failed. How? I believe that by building a commUNITY of believers, dreamers and doers that think positively, move more, eat better and feel amaZing that I can lead a mission to make healthy the norm! The Trailblazer community is a community of dreamers, believers and doers that think positively, move more, eat better, feel amaZing and above all else we dream big, dream often and dream out loud! A Trailblazer is a pioneer, somebody who's willing to take risks and go in a path that isn't already there. They blaze a trail and leave a path for others.” One of my favorite things about our Trailblazers is the diversity.

The Portland Trail Blazers want to be competitive right away to begin next season. So with that in mind let's assess the core pieces of their roster to figure out how they go from where they are today to where they intend to be in the fall. Damian Lillard is still going to be a "true beast," as he recently anointed himself on social media. When healthy Lillard has been one of the best offensive players in the league and there's plenty of reason to believe he still has that level of play in his bag. So if Portland has it's star as step one of the core building, what about the rest of the roster? Is Jusuf Nurkic a Top 10 center in the NBA? Is he good enough to overcome small ball heavy postseason basketball? What about Anfernee Simons? Did his breakout season show us enough to think he can be a No. 2 option on a team that makes the conference finals? And finally what about the Blazers wing group? Is Nassir Little a starter on a good NBA team? Can Josh Hart be his most impactful on a team with two star guards? And where does Justise Winslow fit with this group? Let's dive in.

This week we're joined by retired NASA astronaut Susan Kilrain to discuss a new book she's currently writing called “After The Trailerblazers” for women in traditionally male-dominated fields. It mainly covers how even though the first woman has broken the glass ceiling, the shards of glass still remain to hinder the women who follow.Susan Kilrain:https://www.susankilrain.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/Astro_SusanFull show notes: https://spaceandthingspodcast.com/Show notes include links to all articles mentioned and full details of our guest, plus videos of any launches.Image Credits: NASASpace and Things:Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/spaceandthings1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spaceandthingspodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/spaceandthingspodcast/Merch and Info: https://www.spaceandthingspodcast.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/SpaceandthingsBusiness Enquiries: info@andthingsproductions.comSpace and Things is brought to you And Things Productions https://www.andthingsproductions.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/spaceandthings.

On this edition of The Blazers Balcony, Brooke Olzendam and Casey Holdahl discuss a slow offseason so far, the first round of the playoffs, the NBA on Jeopardy, losing out on a 2022 first round pick, the importance of Portland's second round picks this year, Brooke's case for representing the team at the Draft Lottery, Anfernee Simons and Most Improved Player voting. 

Join hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague on this episode of Jacked Ramsays Live. They'll take a look at the upcoming group of free agents as the official offseason moves a step closer. Danny and Brandon will also discuss the impact of Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets getting swept by Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics. What does that do to the landscape? Could big changes in Brooklyn cause a domino effect throughout the league that forces teams to change their offseason plans? (Like, perhaps Ben Simmons and/or Kyrie Irving being put on the trade block?) The Trail Blazers will almost certainly have access to the full Mid-Level Exception (~$10.3m) this summer. What players and/or position groups might they look to target? Invest it all in a back up 5-man like Mo Bamba or Thomas Bryant? Target a 3⁄4 like Kyle Anderson or TJ Warren? Or maybe they split it up and focus on a younger, potential upswing player like Jalen Smith and paying a bit more than a vet minimum to outbid other teams for depth elsewhere? While the class of free agents isn't great, Portland is motivated to get back on track after a “gap year” situation. After losing out on the New Orleans Pelicans' lottery pick there's less room for error around the rest of the roster. So tap in as the guys go over and debate which way the Blazers could go with the tools at their disposal. SUBSCRIBE: YouTube, Twitch, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google and Anywhere You Get Podcasts!

It's still mock draft season and it's time to check in on which players are projected to go to the Portland Trail Blazers in the latest mock drafts from around the web. Kentucky's Shaedon Sharpe is a common name in Portland's draft range. Is the 6-6 former 5-star recruit worth the risk even if he didn't play a single second of college basketball? What about if the Blazers jump into the top three of the draft? Is Paolo Banchero an ideal prospect to add to Portand's frontcourt? Let's dive into the data as requested by a listener to figure out the future of the Blazers. What do the numbers tell us about Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons' future together. And how can the team maximize that duo with the rest of their roster decisions in the offseason? Music for Locked On Blazers by Drae Slapz.

Eric Griffith (@EricG_NBA) of Willamette Week is back on the show to dive deep into the Portland Trail Blazers offseason and how the franchise can improve with the assets they have available. We start with some positivity talking about reasons for optimism around the team and why the midseason salary dumps might end up useful heading into the offseason. We discuss the Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons pairing and the strengths and weaknesses of Portland's backcourt duo. What needs to happen to maximize Dame and Ant and how the Blazers can move forward with another high scoring, but undersized guard tandem. We close the show talking about big picture success. What does a "good" offseason look like and will Blazers GM Joe Cronin be patient enough to build a winner incrementally even with the pressure to be competitive right away.

Our resident cap space consultant Eric Griffith (@EricG_NBA) of Willamette Week joins to all things salary cap in the Portland Trail Blazers offseason. How much salary cap space can the Trail Blazers create? Eric breaks down the path Portland would have to pursue in order to clear space to chase top tier free agents and why this is an unlikely avenue. So if cap space isn't the path forward, what's the best way for the Blazers to improve? How should they use the mid-level exception? Will they use the biannual exception? Where do their various trade exceptions come into play? It's an exceptional and exception heavy second segment. We close the show talking about the most likely path and how we expect the team to proceed giving their situation. Music for Locked On Blazers by Drae Slapz.

Since ancient times, humans have balanced the risks of settling in hazardous places with the benefits of the resources and opportunities they provide. Though we've created thriving communities all over the world, we're still threatened by floods, fires, earthquakes and more. Thanks to climate change, these risks are expected to increase over time. Over the centuries, many individuals and organizations responded to disaster with innovation. They changed how we build our cities, how we equip first responders and even how we predict disasters. Our approaches to emergency response evolve with information and ideas that help us save lives and prepare for what's next.  Join host Walter Isaacson and guests as they uncover what forces led to today's emergency response methods and what drives the innovations of tomorrow on this episode of Trailblazers.  Featuring Matthew Hannaford, Craig Fugate, Ahmad Wani, Robin Murphy and Sam Cossman.For more on the podcast go to delltechnologies.com/trailblazers/
