    Anfernee Simons: “I want to be a 50/40/90 guy” Aug 20, 2022
    Show notes

    On the latest episode of Jacked Ramsays, hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague are joined by Portland Trail Blazers guard, Anfernee Simons.

    Fresh off his newly signed 4-year, $100 million contract the guys ask Ant what has changed in his life since he put pen to paper on such a life changing deal. Where was he, what does he remember and most importantly - what was the journey like for him to go from such a young man to where he is today.

    From there it was about the questions that have bounced around Portland ever since CJ McCollum was traded - what’s different about a Damian Lillard-Anfernee Simons backcourt from a Lillard-McCollum one and why can it work this time?

    Simons highlights specifically how he’s different on not just offense but defense as well - including the additions of new teammates and the overhaul of the roster from the start of last year until now.

    Beyond that, Simons lays out some of his goals for next year - including the idea of becoming a “50/40/90 guy” (for those unaware, these are benchmarks for 50% from the field, 40% from the 3 points line and 90% from the free throw line) as one of his realistic goals.

    Hop on in for the rest as Danny and Brandon bring the first of a series of player interviews heading into next year!

    What Does Damian Lillard Look Like This Year? Aug 13, 2022
    Show notes

    Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague take on some big Portland Trail Blazers questions heading into the 2022-23 NBA season on the latest episode of the Jacked Ramsays Podcast!

    What does Damian Lillard look like this year? Which version of him is best for this team and how/where can evolve? That’s the first question of many that Danny & Brandon take a look at as the framing for next year becomes more apparent.

    Who gets the short end of the stick if new free agent acquisition Gary Payton II is playing stout defense and they need him to close a game? While bigger questions are out there - one of the more interesting ones is how/when GP2 will be deployed by Chauncey Billups and how that signing can be optimized.

    Can newly-signed Anfernee Simons breakthrough and be more than the “near All-Star” guy that CJ McCollum was and more! Lost in the shuffle of new additions and better fits is the question of whether Simons can meet and then surpass the previous contributions of CJ McCollum. Is it possible and if so, what does he need to do and how likely is that to happen?

    Show notes

    Join hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague as they set their final grades for the offseason as the officially, unofficial final grade date of August 1st has passed.


    Together they take a look at each transaction accordingly, the acquisition of Jerami Grant from the Detroit Pistons for a 2025 Protected 1st Round Pick from the Milwaukee Bucks, signing free agent and former Golden State Warriors big guard Gary Payton II, drafting Shaedon Sharpe #7 overall from Kentucky and Jabari Walker #57 overall from Colorado, and finally - re-signing and retaining Anfernee Simons and Jusuf Nurkic on 4-year deals while brining back big man Drew Eubanks.

    How Can Gary Payton II Help the Blazers? Jul 22, 2022
    Show notes

    On this episode of Jacked Ramsays, Danny Marang is joined by Sam Esfandiari of “Light Years” show covering the Golden State Warriors to give insight on the newest addition to the Portland Trail Blazers, Gary Payton II.

    One of the biggest push backs over Payton’s addition is his “lack” of size - Sam highlights how that wasn’t really an issue for the Warriors and the role(s) you can expect Payton to play and excel in. Playing alongside Steph Curry preparing Payton to play alongside Damian Lillard and/or Anfernee Simons.

    From there it’s why this time was right for Payton, how he got onto the floor for the Warriors and how he’s more than good enough to get on the floor for 20 minutes a night in the NBA Finals.

    The guys then dive into where the Blazers are Warriors likely find themselves in the pecking order of the Western Conference next year - and how Portland can perhaps put themselves in a better position than where the early betting lines (40.5 wins) have them landing.

    Summer League Champs! Jul 17, 2022
    Show notes

    Join Danny Marang as he talks the Trail Blazer’s second Summer League title in the last 4 years (have fun, I dare you) - beating the New York Knicks in the final, 85-77. Leading the charge, big man Trendon Watford who secured a unanimous Summer League Championship game MVP award 19 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals. With Brandon Williams (22 points, 5 assists) and Jabari Walker’s continued stellar debut campaign contributing 14 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks supporting Watford and the Blazer’s run to the title.

    What does any of it mean? While it comes with the very real caveat of “it’s only Summer League” - there’s still plenty of lessons to be garnered here. The style and flow of each game felt different, while the type of personnel General Manager Joe Cronin and his staff are after has felt evident throughout each game. Bolstered by Coach Steve Hetzel taking and building up an attitude and mentality of defense first that emanates from the top with head Coach Chaucey Billups.

    Beyond style and personnel theory, the impact of 57th overall pick Jabari Walker appears to be something very real and one of the bigger storylines heading into training camp. Will either he or fellow rookie Shaedon Sharpe shine enough to work themselves into real minutes in the preseason - thrown into the crucible of the stiffest competition they’ve faced yet- or will the Blazers soft launch both of them- spoon feeding opportunities to make sure they aren’t overwhelmed?

    It’s that and a whole lot more on the latest Jacked Ramsays!

    Jabari Walker Signs; Blazers Roster Set? Jul 16, 2022
    Show notes

    Join Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague for another live Jacked Ramsays!

    Jabari Walker has signed a full contract with the Trail Blazers, reports have it listed as a 3-year deal for $4.57 million, the first year guaranteed, the second year partially guaranteed with nothing guaranteed on the final year. With Walker as the story of the Blazer’s Summer League (with #7 overall pick Shaedon Sharpe out injured) one of the last real questions heading into training camp this year was whether or not he would be on the Blazers as a two-way contract or a full guarantee.

    With this deal signed, the Blazer’s roster is full at 15 players with one remaining two-way contract if the Blazers choose to pursue additional depth on the developmental market. This also brings the Blazer’s space between them and the hard cap down to around $4.2 million, with the ability to use the $4.1 million available via the BAE or up to $4.2 million of the $6.5 million TPE created during the Robert Covington to the Los Angeles Clippers transaction. Will the Blazers use any of it?

    With potential big transactions around Kevin Durant and/or Donovan Mitchell coming in the next few days, the Blazers could perhaps find themselves in a position to move some players/money around in a 2-for-1 swap to get their roster back down to the preferred count of 14 AND have the ability to better balance the front court.


    The Jazz have put a “everything must go” sign out front and the idea of either working in on a megadeal to help facilitate or by peeling off a player such as Jarred Vanderbilt would be the best reasonable business Portland could find, but how/will they do it? Hop on in with Danny and Brandon as they move through the ins and outs of it all and get ready for the 4th and perhaps final game of Summer League tonight!

    Summer League Check In Jul 12, 2022
    Show notes

    It’s been a busy couple of days in Las Vegas for the Portland Trail Blazers on and off the basketball court. Join hosts Danny Marang (fresh off his return from Las Vegas) and Brandon Sprague as they dive into anything and everything that’s happened so far!

    Rookie Shaedon Sharpe picked up an injury in the opening minutes of his debut that will keep him out of the rest of Summer League competition- but what does it mean long term for the young man?

    Damian Lillard signed a 2-year $121 million dollar contract extension that will keep him with the organization through the next 5 seasons- will that silence noise around him possibly asking out?

    Meanwhile, the second to last pick in this year’s NBA Draft - Jabari Walker has played incredibly well in his first two games...so much so that it wouldn’t be a surprise to see some extended run for him down the stretch and into the preseason to see where he stands.

    All of this and more on the latest Jacked Ramsays live show - tap in now!

    State of the Blazers Heading into Summer League Jul 07, 2022
    Show notes

    With what appears most of the big roster moves out of the way for the Portland Trail Blazers, hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague take a look at where things stand as the Blazers get ready to head to Las Vegas for Summer League.

    The news of the day comes from Jody Allen announcing her plans in running the franchise moving forward.

    With the Blazers retaining Anfernee Simons, Jusuf Nurkic and Drew Eubanks while bringing in Jerami Grant, Shaedon Sharpe and Gary Payton II, it looks like the Blazers may be done. However, with the looming idea of a Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and/or Deandre Ayton trade(s), the Blazers may hope to peel one more piece off of a deal to round out their 15 man roster.

    Hop on with the fellas and dive into it as they hit on all the news and notes then get you ready for NBA Summer League.

    Kevin Durant to Portland and Finding a Starting Small Forward Jun 27, 2022
    Show notes

    Damian Lillard made sure that things didn’t cool down around the Portland Trail Blazers following the NBA Draft by putting up a photoshop of him and Kevin Durant in a Trail Blazers jersey. This of course took social media by storm and got everyone talking, could Durant be on the move and is Portland a viable landing place? On the latest Mail Bag Jacked Ramsays, hosts Danny Marang & Brandon Sprague address the Durant to Portland possibility (and what that package would ultimately look like).

    With the Draft in the in the rear view mirror and Free Agency only a couple days away - Danny & Brandon take a look at what options the Blazers may have in front of them; whether via trade and/or free agency, check on news and notes around the league. Then it’s off to Summer League and the “loaded” lineup the Blazers will be bringing- and an idea of what they’re hoping to see happen over the next few days leading up to free agency moratorium.

    Draft Recap and Looking to Free Agency Jun 25, 2022
    Show notes

    The 2022 NBA Draft is in the books and the Portland Trail Blazers surprised everyone by using their #7 overall pick on Kentucky Wildcat (technically, it counts) Shaedon Sharp and followed that up with using the #57 overall pick on Colorado Buffalo, Jabari Walker. Now, hosts Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague take a look at what it all means and where the Trail Blazers go from here.

    The Blazers opted not to finalize a deal for Toronto Raptor OG Anunoby, instead they made it known that in order for them to move off of the #7 overall pick that they would need to be “wowed” by an offer. Does this create a roster imbalance similar to one we saw under former GM Neil Olshey? Does taking a rookie at the guard spot mean that the organization is trying to live on multiple time lines or do they truly believe he can get on the floor and be a difference maker now?

    Then, we’ll look to free agency and Summer League to try to forecast the next steps for the Blazers and the first time we’ll see Sharpe and Walker on the floor. It’s a new dawn, a new day in Portland - the sun’s out - some come inside and watch the show!
