Portland Trail Blazers get the 7th pick in the NBA draft. Should they Keep It, Trade Back or Trade Out?: The Portland Trail Blazers dropped one spot in the 2022 NBA Draft Lottery to lan the 7th overall selection. It was a deflating night at the end of a disaster season. Yikes. So what do they do now? Should they keep the pick? If they do, targets could include Baylor's Jeremy Sochan or Arizona's Bennedict Mathurin. Should they attempt to trade back and drop in the draft while adding another player? Or should they just try to swap the pick for an impactful veteran? One of these is the wrong path, but certainly all of them are on the board. After a walk through the Blazers options, we look back at the history of the seventh pick in the NBA draft to get a sense of what expectations for this draft slot should be.

Portland Trail Blazers Issues on Full Display in Preseason Loss to Sacramento Kings: The Portland Trail Blazers have not looked good in preseason. On Sunday night that trend continued with a disheartening loss to the Sacramento Kings in which both teams treated the game like a regular season dress rehearsal. So where do the Blazers go from here? How meaningful are three preseason games? There's more questions than answers. One answer at least is that Josh Hart is going to be the starting shooting guard on opening night and that has implications for the rest of the roster. We close the show talking two-way spots and why Olivier Sarr and Isaiah Miller appear to have the clear inside track at earning the two available spots at the end of Portland's roster.

Overreactions from the Portland Trail Blazers 1st game: Shaedon Sharpe is For Real + Small Ball Wins: You may have seen people overreact to the Portland Trail Blazers season opening win against the Sacramento Kings. It's natural. But you've never seen someone overreact quite like this. This is how the pros do it. The first overreaction: Shaedon Sharpe is the truth and should be the Blazers starting small forward from here on out. The second absolute truth that is definitely not an overreaction: Portland should start with small ball look and embrace tiny ball, moving Jusuf Nurkic to the bench. Then we get serious and talk about real lessons from one basketball game. It's fun and maybe a little informative too. Music for Locked On Blazers by Drae Slapz.

Portland Trail Blazers at Summer League: Jabari Walker and Trendon Watford Show They Belong: The Portland Trail Blazers have two clear bright spots on their summer league roster as second year big man Trendon Watford and rookie Jabari Walker have been the team's two best players and are making a case to get real rotation minutes when the season starts in the fall. Watford is likely a lock for early playing time but Walker, the 57th overall pick in the draft in June, is making a bid to sneak into the back of the rotation with his smarts and size. The rest of the Blazers roster has been pretty rocky. We have to address the obvious struggles from some roster guys. Also, why did ESPN subject us to so much Richard Jefferson?
