Tara Bowen-Biggs (@tcbbiggs) from the We Have A Take podcast returns to Hardwood Knocks to discuss the Portland Trail Blazers' complicated offseason and the terrible start to which it's off. First, Tara and Dan talk about the decision to hire Chauncey Billups, Neil Olshey's tactlessness, the tokenism of Becky Hammon, and the message this all sends to the fanbase. After that, they get into Damian Lillard's future and what a Dame trade could look like; Jusuf Nurkic's value; Norman Powell's free agency (and dogs!); C.J. McCollum trades; other potential Blazers trades; free-agency targets; Derrick Jones Jr.; Robert Covington; and sooooo much more.
