Get This Man Some Help

The Basketball Dads are back to discuss a slow *cough cough* Portland Trail Blazers off season. Covered in this episode:- Yang Hansen makes some noise.- Damian Lillard returns to Portland.- The Trail Blazers are sold.- Deandre Ayton goes to LA.And so much more!

Yes, that's right, your Portland Trail Blazers are the proud owners of a, count-em, 2-game winning streak. Scoot Henderson looks more comfortable, Shaedon Sharpe may be taking his star turn, and Toumani Camara continues to impress.

Scoot Henderson, Deandre Ayton, and Jabari Walker struggle. Robert Williams III glimmers and Malcom Brogdon tries to take over. The Clippers big brother the Blazers.

We go through the final Trail Blazers roster for the opening of the season and talk about if what each player showed us in the preseason makes us more or less excited. Also, Shann makes some ridiculous predictions about Nurk and Ben Simmons while Tim expresses his doubts about the Bucks.

Shann’s takeaways from the Blazers’ dark match against the mighty New Zealand Breakers. Why aren't the Blazers on TV? Toumani Camara shows promise and don't worry about the vets.

Deandre Ayton, Scoot Henderson, and Anfernee Simons get Fan Fest love. Toumani Camara shows flashes of what he can do. Scoot relishes the spotlight and we go deep into Heat Nation's pain as we read the best (worst) of their Reddit angst in the post Dame era that never was.

Is Scoot Henderson taller? Faster? How does Ayton look? Has Anfernee Simons made a leap? And what about Malcolm Brogdon?

The Basketball Dads discuss Joe's ongoing domino trading style that has now netted Robert Williams III, Malcolm Brogdon, and two first round picks. Plus, we talk about Scoot Henderson, Shaedon Sharpe, and Chauncey Billups media day!

The Basketball Dads discuss Damian Lillard's trade to the Bucks, if Joe should have done Dame differently, and what to make of the Jrue Holiday piece coming back. We welcome Deandre Ayton to Portland and speculate on best case scenarios. Goodbye, Dame, we love you and can't wait for your return. There will be a statue built in your honor!

Damian Lillard is now a member of the Milwaukee Bucks!

Will the winds of public perception shift in favor of ole Joe?

There is finally some thawing in the ongoing Damian Lillard trade saga. What is that we see on the horizon? A mysterious Eastern Conference team riding into relevancy??? Get This Man Some Help is a Portland Trail Blazers podcast by two life-long fans who will always believe a parade is coming back to the Rose City... maybe even this year! We spend our time pondering the eternal question: does Damian Lillard have the help he needs to bring home the chip? (And the evergreen ancillary question: is Shaedon Sharp and Scoot Henderson the best rookie prospects we've had since, well, Dame?) We will always have pinwheels in our eyes and Nurk fever has never quite left our veins though we know that it will have lingering effects to our health. Question? Comment? Kudos? Concern?
