On today's show Andrew Sharp and Ben Golliver begin by with an SI sportsperson recap, LeBron breaking down KCP silver linings, and a fantasy overhaul. Then they talk all things Blazers after a rough month in Portland. Topics include: the absence of Paul Allen as a stabilizing presence, limited trade options, why Portland will probably make a run regardless, and whether it would ever make sense to trade Damian Lillard. From there they discuss the state of the Rockets (37:00), before moving to Chris Paul trade targets (48:00), not talking enough about the Pacers or Pistons (53:00), and whether America should consider adopting a European academy system in lieu of college basketball. At the end (65:00): Kyrie's earth vs. Steph's moon, the termites check-in, and the "thinks he's better than he is" All-Stars.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
