The Portland Trail Blazers held their media day this week, and all the talking points were strong. This is a team focused on defense, where roles will be accepted and leaders will be held responsible.

On the latest episode of Blazer Focused, beat writer Aaron Fentress is joined by Joe Freeman to discuss what to make of media day, training camp and the storylines to come.

They hit on Larry Nance Jr., accountability, Dame's strongest statements yet that he's still all in on Rip City, CJ's maturity and understanding of the business vis a vis trade talk and much more.

[Disclaimer: We had a technical error. You'll hear Fentress coming through Freeman's track when there's cross-talk. Apologies for the error, but the conversation is great!]
