New Ownership, New Opportunities

In the 404th episode of the Holy Backboard Podcast,  Dustin and Sage provide their latest thoughts on the Portland Trail Blazers and the various events with the franchise. They discuss the team's new ownership, Chauncey Billups' contract being extended, and what we think the ownership change and extension(s) mean for the franchise's future and stability within the organization. We also discuss different components of the upcoming NBA draft, specifically the Blazer's draft positioning and various players they might look to draft. We assess how players fit together along with the needs down the road for the Blazers as they try to figure out their strategy in the future. Lastly, the podcast raises the common debate around whether the NBA draft is rigged and assesses whether player development may impact how we view the quality of franchise decision-making.
