    Oregonian Sports: Is the Blazers' next move to trade Anfernee Simons?
    Jun 28 2024
    The Blazers have been lacking a clear direction for the entirety of Joe Cronin’s tenure. The Blazers have felt largely adrift. But the general manager’s efforts this week have helped illuminate a path forward for Portland by two strong pieces to a growing core. Donovan Clingan and Deni Avdija are in — is Anfernee Simons about to be out? Bill Oram and Brenna Greene discuss that and more on this episode of The Oregonian sports podcast. Topics discussed: • Why the draft felt like such a big break for the Blazers • What Clingan’s arrival means for incumbent center Deandre Ayton • Interpreting what Cronin said about Shaedon Sharpe and Scoot Henderson — and what he didn’t say about Simons.

  • Oregonian Sports: How Jerry West impacted the Trail Blazers, plus thoughts on the NBA draft and offseason

    Oregonian Sports: How Jerry West impacted the Trail Blazers, plus thoughts on the NBA draft and offseason
    Jun 12 2024
    When the Portland Trail Blazers swept the NBA’s best regular season team on their way to the 1977 NBA championship, the first-year head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers declared that the Blazers “were blessed with great personnel and they’re going to be good for a very long time.” That was just one of the times Jerry West’s seven-decade life in the NBA intersected with the Trail Blazers. The man who built both the Showtime and Shaq-Kobe Lakers could reasonably be seen as one of the greatest obstacles to the Blazers ever winning a second championship. On this episode of the Oregonian Sports podcast, Bill Oram and Brenna Greene discuss West’s legacy and how it intertwines with the history of the Trail Blazers. Also discussed: • Abrupt ends to the season for both Oregon and Oregon State baseball • The Blazers pivotal offseason and whether now is the time to trade Anfernee Simons • Whether trading up in this draft makes sense for the Trail Blazers front office Listen to the full episode here: Learn more about your ad choices.
