Not only did we surive this year's trade deadline despite some particularly toxic fans... IT FINALLY HAPPENED; CJ McCollum has been traded to the New Orleans Pelicans.

To send off our Blazers backcourt legend, we could think of no one better than OG Friend of the Show, Blazers superfan, portrait artist & New Orleans resident, Evan McCarthy of Evanem.com !

He joins us from his home in The Big Easy to break down all sides of the trade and more, including...

- What to expect from Josh Hart

- Is Evan ready to join us on the Penny Simons campaign?

- How will CJ fit with the Pelicans

- Status Check on the Blazers' rebuild

On last week's episode, we were joined by first-time Pod-guest but long-time Spaces-friend, Brandon McIntire! Unfortunately, Keith dropped the episode in the trash instead of online.

But Brandon was nice enough to give us a second chance! This week he returned to discuss...

- a successful (4-2) road trip

- the return of CJ to the lineup

- Dame's first press sitdown since surgery

- Making the tough trades: Who should we really be building around?

A word of warning to any fans who, like Keith, get easily triggered... We're gonna discuss some Dame trades. Enter with caution. Not really, just go listen!
