Who will be the biggest trash talker on the Trail Blazers this season? - a podcast by SB Nation

Trail Blazers' beat reporter Casey Holdahl joined the weekly podcast to talk about Kent Bazemore’s shorts, Anthony Tolliver’s opportunities and Mario Hezonja’s nasty streak. We react to the fast and furious pace of Fan Fest, wonder when we will learn how tall everyone is and speculate about what Skal Labissiere could do if he just gets a shot?
Also, public radio pledge drives, hipster beanies, and who will be the biggest trash talker on the team this year? All this and more on the latest podcast.

Are there combos forming on the court? 26:15 How is the turnover of this year different from turnover in years past? This year they are more established and have expectations. But they seem ready for it. Quiet confidence. 28:30 Watching them at Fan Fest gave a real sense of togetherness. At the same time, they were playing each other hard, they were really competitive with each other. They seem like they could have a little bit more of a nasty streak in them this season. The good kind of nasty streak. 35:00 CJ McCollum has a mean streak, that toughness could be something to build on. 39:00 Who will be the biggest trash talker this year? 42:00 What is the potential for Skal Labissiere?
