The Portland Trail Blazers lost a couple home games over the weekend, 96-93 to the Thunder and then 137-108 to the Bucks. These were not notable losses but this episode visits them shortly because of formalities and respect. The real news of the day was the trade that happened Friday night and the impact of that trade on the Blazers present and future.
