Trail Blazers beat Pistons: Ben McLemore shines off the bench + Is Jerami Grant a trade target?

CJ McCollum to New Orleans? Talking Trail Blazers Trades and the Debacle in OKC: The Trail Blazers had perhaps their worst game of the season Monday night in Oklahoma City in an 98-81 loss to the lowly Thunder, who were missing their best player. Yes, the Thunder who had lost seven consecutive games. Yes the Thunder who sport the NBA's worst offense. Yes the Thunder who are in the midst of a multi-season tank and weren't even at full strength. Yes, them. Woof. Despite the debacle in the plains, Anfernee Simons had a wonderful January. It was a month long performance that deserves some historical context within the Blazers franchise. Spoiler: Anytime you're on a list with just Damian Lillard and Clyde Drexler you're doing well. Simons had a month to remember. Let's remember it together. Finally, Jake Madison of Locked On Pelicans joins the show to pitch his idea for a CJ McCollum to New Orleans trade, We get into the reasons both teams would do it, what the package would look like and t by Locked On Blazers – Daily Podcast On The Portland Trail Blazers

Game Day Preview: Mikal Bridges and the Nets Look For Third Straight Win, Taking On The Wizards At Home: The Nets have won five out their last six games and with a west coast trip next week will want to close out the home stand in style. The Wizards are bad. 3-17 bad. Kyle Kuzma and Jordan Poole "faces of your franchise" bad. That said, they do score a ton of points and most recently showed against Philadelphia they can take good teams down to the wire. Adam looks at a few key categories, like rebound disparity and three point shooting as keys to a Brooklyn win. The Locked On host also spotlights Cam Thomas as a big game candidate, along with the continued tenacious Dennis Smith Jr. defense as components in another Nets win. Learn more about your ad choices.

Shorthanded Blazers show heart against Clippers + Damian Lillard is mad about the drama: The Portland Trail Blazers lost on Monday night, falling 102-90 to the LA Clippers. But unlike recent losses that were demoralizing and embarrassing this was downright heartening. Playing without Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, Anfernee Simons and Nassir Little the Blazers showed some real grit. Jusuf Nurkic (season-high 31 points) had a big night, Norman Powell shouldered more of the scoring load and Portland hung with the Clippers for 45 minutes before faltering down the stretch. Plus, The Athletic reported that Dame is unsettled and has simmering issues with Chauncey Billups. Damian Lillard criticized the report as journalists hunting for drama. What if everyone is right?

Trail Blazers beat the Kings + Damian Lillard will miss Portland's road trip: The Portland Trail Blazers dispatched the Sacramento Kings, 103-98, on Sunday night at the Moda Center in a game without Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum or Norman Powell. Anfernee Simons had 31 points, Jusuf Nurkic came up one assist shy of a triple-double and the Kings did their part by being pathetic. It was a nice win for a team that hasn't had many of them in a while, but news broke before tip off that suggests the shorthanded Blazers might be shorthanded for a while longer and perhaps even the remainder of the season. Chauncey Billups said pregame that Lillard will not accompany the Blazers on an upcoming six-game road trip and instead will go see specialists to discuss his season-long abdominal issue. Lillard could opt for surgery or perhaps just shut it down for the remainder of the season as the Blazers head towards a lottery pick as they slip further from the playoff picture.

Trail Blazers lose to Suns in OT + Damian Lillard delivers his message: The Portland Trail Blazers made it all the way to overtime before losing on Tuesday night. Maybe that's progress? It was an entertaining but in the end disheartening loss to the Phoenix Suns, 111-107, at the Moda Center. It was Portland's sixth straight loss and ninth in its last ten games. It really was fun at least until it really wasn't. Plus, Damian Lillard delivered a message to his teammates about resiliency at practice on Monday. There's a lot to unpack about the point guard's brand of stubborn optimism. And finally it's time to question which direction the Blazers should as trade season approaches in the NBA.

The Portland Trail Blazers ride Jerami Grant's 27 points to an unlikely and impressive 106-95 win over the Pelicans in New Orleans on Thursday. There was so much to love about this game beyond Grant's big night and highlight dunk against Zion Williamson. Anfernee Simons was aggressive going to the rim, Nassir Little had a big night off the bench, and Chauncey Billups once again pressed all the right buttons. So seriously, is this the best team in the west right now? They're certainly in the conversation. Let's talk about it. Music for Locked On Blazers by Drae Slapz.

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?
