The Blazers are on a bit of a hot streak, and we discuss why with extra attention given to Jusuf Nurkic, Anfernee Simons and CJ McCollum.

We use the Blazers improved play to discuss The Athletic's John Hollinger's Jan. 24th article proposing that this offseason the Blazers should trade Damian Lillard.  While we understand the logic behind what he says, we disagree with his reasoning that a recent uptick in wins should have any effect on the Blazers strategic path for this season and next.  We also discuss why ignoring the record when discussing ways to upgrade the roster is the right call.
