Free Agency is taking over the NBA and the Trail Blazers are still almost the same Trail Blazers they were last season. Dave and Dia discuss Portland's Salary Cap situation and how that may be a factor in the current state of the team. They also talk about Robert Covington's importance to the Blazers, LaMarcus Aldridge rumors, and Norman Powell's excitement about being in Portland.

The off season is underway and the Blazers are making moves and taking names--even if we don't recognize all the names, and even if the moves are, well, unexpected. Somehow with no draft picks the team still managed to sneak one in, and free agency has seen a few additions as well. Dave and Dia also discuss summer league and what they hope to see come out of it, and of course, Team USA. All of this and more on this week's show.

Latest episode of the Blazer's Edge podcast - featuring all of you Mail Bag questions! In a surprising twist, not every question was about Damian Lillard's future... but the the rest were mostly about CJ McCollum's future... or the Trail Blazer's immediate and long term health. Suffice it to say, this is probably the biggest 2 weeks of offseason in the Lillard era and whether it goes out with a bang or a whimper could very much be decided in the next 14 days. Among the questions, Bradley Beal, Ben Simmons, or Pascal Siakam - could the Blazers acquire one of them or be a part of a trade that involves those players to reshape the roster to be more competitive? Should the Blazers consider moving Damian Lillard now, the trade deadline or until next offseason? That and a whole lot more - tap in!

On this episode of the Blazer’s Edge podcast, host Danny Marang takes an in-depth look at Damian Lillard’s press conference in Las Vegas with Team USA Basketball after a report by Henry Abbott of TrueHoop declared that Lillard had an impending trade request coming. What followed was an article by Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes that appears to have been scheduled to debut later that day but was amended with an update from Lillard that he would speak later that day - again in Las Vegas at media availability. This set the table for the most declarative that Lillard has been about his future with the Blazers and what it would likely take to keep him in the fold going forward.
