On the latest edition of the Brief Case, recording from Santa Barbara where the Trail Blazers are holding their 2023 training camp, Casey Holdahl discusses...

• General thoughts about the first three days of camp in Santa Barbara

• The "leadership by committee" approach the Trail Blazers have taken since the trades last week

• Portland trying to play faster and commit to the defensive end and how those goals are common this time of year

• Comments from Malcolm Brogdon and Rob Williams III about their immediate futures in Portland

• Jrue Holiday's glowing comments about the way he was treated in the run up to the trade sending the veteran guard to Boston

• WNBA to Portland rumors

• Fan's Fest, presented by Daimler, this Sunday at Moda Center

And the show finishes with an extended conversation with Rob Williams III, who discusses his initial thoughts on being traded for the first time, his humble beginnings in rural Louisiana, focusing on basketball at a young age, when he realized making the NBA was a possibility, teaming up with Deandre Ayton, his health after injuries shortened his last season with the Celtics, what it takes to be good at finishing lobs and his opinions on headbands.
