    I love locked on basketball Podcasts in general but came to this one with Ja’s arrival but this is not it. Or the podcast for Ja lovers because this host obviously hates him !! So looking for a new Blazers pod. Maybe I will have to start my own.

    Love the reasonable and steady take Mike provides on our favorite team. He’s got a lot of love for the Blazers but gives it to you straight. Def has helped me know so much more about the players and the game.

Q: Is Shaedon Sharpe untradeable due to injury, and should the Trade Machine be retired for now?
Shaedon Sharpe is considered largely untradeable for the near term, especially with the injury and the current contract situation; the host advises retiring the Trade Machine until January or December when the market may become clearer, to avoid chasing a speculative move.
