NBA Observations- OKC Thunder & Portland Trail Blazers Previews With Braxton Reynolds and Peter Sampson!

Our NBA Observations of all 29 non-Lakers teams are now complete with another SPECIAL DOUBLE EPISODE as Braxton Reynolds from Thunderous Intentions joins the show to give everyone a sneak peek at the season ahead for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Tune in as he and the guys from the Lakers Fast Break gaze into the crystal ball to predict how soon the young, talented Thunder can be a top-tier playoff contender. Has Shai Gilgeous-Alexander reached his full potential? Or is there an MVP in his future? Will Chet Holmgren break out with a Rookie of the Year campaign? Who else on the roster will break out and what will the team do with all those draft picks? We also ask Braxton about his thoughts on what the Lakers look like heading into training camp and if a playoff matchup for the two teams can come sooner rather than later. There's Thunder in the distance now, but is it going to get closer to playoff success sooner rather than later? Plus Portland sports media personality Peter Sampson checks into the program to give us our final NBA Observation (sans the Lakers) as he shares thoughts on the season ahead for the Trail Blazers. Check out the show as he and the guys from the Lakers Fast Break go over the recent big trades for the team, life after Damian Lillard's departure, what the new additions will do for the team, and if any more transactions are coming sooner rather than later. He also goes into detail on the team buying into a youth movement, and if Scoot Henderson or someone else can break out into the next Portland-based NBA superstar. Plus you know he's going to give his two cents on how the Lakers look heading into the season as well. Our official completion of the tour of NBA Observations for all 29 non-Laker teams is done as we head to Rip City and OKC for a look at the Blazers and the Thunder right here on the Lakers Fast Break podcast!
