Jacked Ramsays: Mail Bag-a-palooza

It’s a Jacked Ramsays Mail Bag where hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague answer as many listener questions as they can in an hour. The biggest news for the Blazers, perhaps in over 20+ years dropped this week as Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN tweeted out that former Nike founder and CEO Phil Knight (along with real estate mogul and partial owner of the LA Dodgers, Alan Smolinisky) submitted a written bid north of $2billion for the Portland Trail Blazers. With that much of the show focused on the ins and outs of the potential deal - how Portland as an organization and city could benefit and the likelihood of it all coming together. Beyond the major news, the Blazers continue to be linked in rumors to the Toronto Raptors’ OG Anunoby, the Phoenix Suns’ Deandre Ayton, the Atlanta Hawks’ John Collins and to the Detroit Pistons’ Jerami Grant by various outlets and reporters. With less than 3 weeks to the NBA Draft, the Blazers appear to be ramping up the noise and/or smoke around their desire to make a big move with the assets they currently have on hand. Speaking of the Draft, after bringing in G-League Ignite’s Dyson Daniels for their first post NBA Draft combine workout. With Daniels being mocked in the region the Blazers are slotted to pick, this lines up with what General Manager Joe Cronin as stated the team will do - establishing value of the pick, which includes getting eyes on players that could be available at #7. This also include Bennedict Mathurin of the University of Arizona, who held a private workout at the Blazer’s practice facility but also denied the request to speak with local media following said workout. While not a major problem, it does look like Mathurin’s camp is trying to protect their client at all costs leading up to the draft. No player has ever fallen in the Draft for failing to speak to local media following a closed door workout. It’s a full hour with Marang and Sprague covering any and all the breaking news while answering the biggest questions submitted - so tap in and get watch and/or listen as the guys fill in all the blanks.
