1:21 - The Trail Blazers lost to the Denver Nuggets on Sunday night in a game where the Blazers' youth was on full display. Portland is prioritizing the future by playing an inexperienced roster in the present and hoping to find some gems during a rocky end of the year.

As clear building blocks and must haves on a good team going forward. How many fall into the let them walk category? As players that are either not good enough or not helpful enough to take a chance on moving forward. 20:49 - Who else is left in the middle? Is Greg Brown III a keeper? What about Keon Johnson? Where does Justise Winslow fit in the Blazers future plans? Let's journey through the entire roster together and narrow down a list of keepers. Music for Locked On Blazers by Drae Slapz.
