Tara is joined by Oakland native and host of the Wake Up and Win podcast and The Street Roots Podcast, DeVon Pouncey (@Pounce_Sation). They talk about his experience celebrating in Oakland with Gary Payton II and what GP2 will bring to the Portland Trail Blazers.
Then we talk about a few themes that are emerging this Blazers off season:
Another 6’3” guard?
Are the Blazers no longer just switching out players and actually building a new team?
The Blazers are really going to play defense. This time. I swear.
