In this episode, Brad and Jethro break down their favorite moments from the Blazers during the weekend and what their performances mean in the grand scheme of things.

The 2026 NBA Trade Deadline has come and gone and the Portland Trail Blazers made no additional moves other than the trade for Vit Krecji. That still leaves a few question marks as to what's going to happen with Sidy Cissoko and Caleb Love's two-way contracts.

The Portland Trail Blazers addressed a massive need by trading for Atlanta Hawks wing/guard Vit Krejčí. The Blazers are the worst three-point shooting team in the NBA and they add a guy in Krejčí who is a top-20 shooter in the league this season.

The sad part about trading for him was that we as Blazer fans had to say goodbye to Duop Reath, a guy who will go down as one of the most beloved Blazer role players of all time.

The Portland Trail Blazers have a good problem on their hands: they have too many players who are playing well.With the emergence of two-way studs Sidy Cissoko and Caleb Love, who are both more than deserving of standard NBA contracts, comes tough decision for Joe Cronin and the Blazers' front office. Either a trade, multiple trades, or multiple cuts must be made to the current roster to open up two spots. Who will the Blazers move in order to make room?

Then, Brad and Jethro perform a though exercise, mocking what an entire NBA mock draft would look like, trying to figure out just how high Deni Avdija would go given his ludicrously good contract.

The NBA season is officially halfway over for your Portland Trail Blazers (which is wild). They ended their first 41 games with a record of 19-22, which, given their multitude of rotating injuries, is not bad at all.

Hopefully the Blazers can gear up for an even better second half of the season; they just need to get Deni Avdija back as quickly as possible to do so.

What are Brad and Jethro's biggest wants for the second half of the season? Take a listen to the episode to find out, we're not going to spoil it here in the description!

The emerging-from-a-rebuild Blazers have a ton of talent on the roster — a lot of which is unrealized.

There's a few guys on Portland's roster who we know could contribute right now to an NBA Finals level team, one that won't right now but we know will be able to in the future, a handful we think can but aren't sure about, and the rest who we think won't ever make it that far, but we still love.

Who do you think fits where? Compare your pulse on the Blazers to ours in this episode!

Blazer fans: what is the one thing that we con unanimously agree the Blazers need to get better at? Three-point shooting.So then why would Portland trade away its best and only certifiably good three-point threat? Doesn't make much sense, right?Amidst another offseason of trade rumors, where fans are clamoring for the Portland Trail Blazers to ship out their longest tenured player for change on the dollar, Brad and Jethro are here to remind fans that Anfernee is the biggest offensive threat the Blazers have right now, and if we get rid of him on a hope and prayer that Scoot and/or Shaedon can become All-Stars, then we may regret it for years and years to come.
