What's the Blazers ceiling next season? Is tanking creating bad habits? Mailbag!: It's the latest Special Delivery Mailbag from Locked On Blazers! It's time to answer your questions about the tanking and ugly losses forming bad habits when the team pivots back to trying to win? Is a two months without much help going to limit Anfernee Simons' development or will it help him hone some other skills? Plus, is a Simons-Damian Lillard backcourt a duplicate of the Blazers previous guard duo or has Simons shown enough promise to think he pushes Portland to heights that the CJ-Dame pairing never could? Speaking of new heights? What's the Blazers ceiling for next season? Will Portland use two lottery picks to draft rookies or will they be trade chips for a bigger win-now move? Can Portland find an upgrade at the forward spots or is this team locked into starting Josh Hart and/or Nassir Little?

Can Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons be the Trail Blazers championship level backcourt? Mailbag!: It's the latest Special Delivery Mailbag from Locked On Blazers! It's time to answer your questions about Anfernee Simons joining Damian Lillard in the next iteration of Portland's backcourt. Is moving forward with two small guards a reasonable plan? How is it any different than CJ McCollum and Lillard of the past six seasons? Is it groundhogs day or does Simons offer more upside? How can you maximize two small guards? Plus, I take a stab at a mock deadline, remaking the Blazers with fake trades sending out McCollum, Nassir Little, Jusuf Nurkic and Robert Covington. Did this scenario of fake trades actually help? Well, how familiar are you with the Charlotte Hornets? And finally we close the show talking about halftime acts. Yes, that's right. Red Panda, Amazing Sladek, Chin Balancer.

Don't Buy Steelers Trade James Daniels Rumor | Lukas Van Ness or Myles Murphy as 1st Round Targets?: Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers were rumored to be interested in a trade to send James Daniels away after their move in free agency, according to The Athletic. But according to Chris Carter, those rumors would require a lot of factors to fall into place before more weight could be put there for Daniels to leave the Steelers. He's a valuable guard that should be part of offensive line plans for Mike Tomlin, Omar Khan and Andy Weidl for the foreseeable future. Also, a caller asks if Clemson edge rusher Myles Murphy or Iowa defensive lineman Lukas Van Ness are reasonable targets at 17th overall for the Steelers' first round pick? Chris Carter gives which might be a better fit, and how the Steelers might react if those are the options after the top three cornerbacks and top three offensive tackles are selected.

Steelers' 30-13 Loss to Colts Continues Season's Epic Collapse | Mike Tomlin Struggles for Answers: Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers lost their third straight game in a 30-13 loss at tha hands of the Indianapolis Colts, dropping the team to 7-7 and out of playoff position. It was another abysmal loss, the team's third in a row, and opens up even bigger questions about Mike Tomlin's future with the franchise. Mitch Trubisky looked terrible, the offensive line got whipped, Najee Harris even looked bad, and the offense looks lost. The group even looks worse than they did when Matt Canad was the offensive coordinator. Meanwhile, the defense is a MASH unit with injuries abound, as Minkah Fitzpatrick couldn't return to the game and Trenton Thompson left. After a terrible decision by the officials to eject Damontae Kazee for an incidental hit, that left the Steelers with just Miles Killebrew as their only safety, forcin by Locked On Steelers – Daily Podcast On The Pittsburgh Steelers
