The NBA Trade Deadline has passed, Skal Labissiere was traded away for practically nothing and the Blazers have limped their way to the All-Star break.

Whitty from Blazertag Podcast joins us for the third time as we discuss all this and more! What questions do you have? Comment and hit us up on Twitter!
