    In THE FINAL EDITION OF THE RIP CITY REPORT, Joe Freeman and Casey Holdahl discuss the Trail Blazers trading for Robert Covington and Enes Kanter, signing Rodney Hood, Carmelo Anthony, Derrick Jones Jr and Harry Giles as free agents, injury updates, the roster as it currently stands and how it stacks up historically and their thoughts about the team a few weeks from training camp. They also play one last round of "Walton or Oden" and finish up, as always by answering listener questions about roster depth, covering basketball in quarantine, the Oden draft, favorite memories from over seven years of podcasting and why the show is coming to an end. Thanks to everyone who has listened and supported over the years.

Best Blazer Podcast

Casey Holdahl does what a lot of NBA podcasts want to do; combines a fan-like enthusiasm for the game with actual behind the scenes insight. You can tell he’s done the work of building relationships with the players, and in the podcast, we the listeners become privy to that access. I wish more beat reporters did NBA podcasts: NBA Twitter is lovely but sometimes it feels like High School gossip more than actual analysis. Casey and Joe Freeman bring that access without feeling gossipy or cheapened, because they have actual human relationships with the players. The on-court analysis is measured and unbiased which is PARTICULARLY HARD to find in the Blazer fandom. Thanks for the wonderful pod; wish we had more like this!
