This week in Trail Blazers talk
The shows spent the week questioning Portland's roster construction after adding Ja Morant. There's concern about whether Morant fits alongside Scoot Henderson and Damian Lillard, with talk about positional overlap and potential defensive issues. Henderson himself came up as a prove-it case given questions about his fit in a crowded backcourt.
