A messy, messy weekend for the Portland Trail Blazers ended where it was always going to: With Portland finalizing a four-team trade that sent Gary Payton II to the Golden State Warriors. But sheesh was it a long, stupid road to get there. Let’s run through the timeline.
Of course this ended the way it did. It was always going to end this way. But the path there exposed the bizarre world of NBA news brokers and the petty beef between two franchises. No one looks good at the end of this one. Except for you, dear listener, you look great.
Okay how about some positivity to end the show: The Blazers are set up to make huge moves this offseason and nothing that happened at the at the trade deadline hurt that opportunity.

Warriors want a couple of those draft picks back perhaps so they put out false statements about the use of a drug?
How did you report the warriors have 80 million dollar tax implications, when it has been stated it’s around 7 million this year and 30 next (assuming no changes in other contracts) remember they have to take on GP2’s contract. Where is your source for 80mil?
lemon
Love and admire Josh Hart even more for chiming in on the Knicks postgame interviews and standing up for Cronin and the Blazers. Class act.
And when he's Playing w/in '2 or 3' WKS, will there be an 'apology'…? ;
he's NOT hurt & that report / piece was full of lies & half truths, to make Blazers look bad
and by a biased reporter, who Prob. thought they gave up too much to get him back! ;
There needs to be a retraction & consequences to writers & reporters who "create" hysteria & trouble on people, by saying things that are false & accusatory!!! ;
There need to be "responsability" w/ our freedoms to speak & write, ;
Trading 2 mediocre ok players, for 3 equally gifted or maybe even Higher Ceiling guys,
PLUS a 1st Rnd Pick & '5' 2nd Round Picks (possibly 9) Is a GREAT Haul!!! ; )
I didn't hate the trade like you did, but I am still completely underwhelmed. I saw him give up on defense quite a bit that game. What I'm hoping for is that Ant becomes consistent enough that he can be a reliable outlet for Dame, so that you can play Dame, Ant, Thybulle, Grant, and Nurk without dropping off on offense too badly.
lmao Blazer doctors are certified 🤡
same doctors that let Grant finish the game on Friday then put him on concussion protocol the next day lol
