Your favorite Portland Trail Blazers podcast is back with a super-sized episode suitable for your perusal before the 2025 NBA Draft. The Big Day comes tomorrow. As you’re preparing, take a look at Episode 23 of Trail Daddy. We examine the Top 20 draft prospects with an eye towards suitability in Portland. If the Blazers trade up in the order, which targets would be best? How about if they move down a few steps? Naturally we cover the candidates at the 11th spot as well.
In this episode we also talk about the NBA Finals (not yet concluded at the time of taping) and even more about parity across the league. What’s the shadow side of these restrictive luxury tax rules and how might the effort to combat superteams go wrong?
All of this and more comes your way this week! A note that the Anfernee Simons-Jrue Holiday trade had not been announced when we recorded this episode. We’ll have more on that next time.
