In this episode, Oregon Sports News Senior Writer Caesy Mabbott discusses the barrage of NBA trade deadline deals, what the Portland Trail Blazers did to get better (spoilers – nothing), and if it will be enough.

Casey Mabbott is a writer and podcast host born and raised in West Philadelphia where he spent most of his days on the basketball court perfecting his million dollar jumpshot.
