The offseason is long. Let’s stir the pot.
What are your takes😛?
My take: Anfernee Simons is absolute fire and fits this team perfectly, now and in the future.
If Scoot and Shae both pop he’s the perfect guy off the bench to fit with defense first players like Thybulle, Camara, Jabari Walker, Clingan, Deni, Rob Williams. On the other hand, if one of Scoot or Shae stalls he fills the other position.
Cronin is building the team to support undersized guards in a way that Dame / CJ never had. He’s gotten bigger at every other position. Shae is the philosophical opposite of CJ and we are stocked with defenders that can guard point of attack and out to the 3 point line at every other position. Just look at our three centers – their switchability are their calling cards.
Ant makes more sense on our team than nearly any other, and Cronin is right to at least wait for multiple picks / young assets to come back. I just don’t think the Blazers have to trade one of the best pure scorers in the league.

i totally agree with you. with every guard we have had, when the new toy comes in the fans want to get rid of the old. dame, cj, anfernee. next it’ll be sharpe and scoot
I don’t think any of our dudes are going to be as good as we need them to be to be actual contenders without us adding a superstar talent
Kris Murray will have a long NBA career.
I don’t really believe in Sharpe as an all star level player. He’s got the tools, I just don’t know if he’ll put it together. I would love to be wrong!
Chauncy Billips will be a Hall of Fame level coach.
Remember to sort by controversial folks….
I’m not opposed to giving Ayton another big contract if he continues to produce
Chauncey is far from this team’s biggest problem and although I don’t think he’s a great coach, he’s being scapegoated because people don’t want to admit that we just don’t have good players right now. This team is severely lacking talent compared to the rest of the west, what do people honestly expect him to do with this roster?
Billups isn’t a bad coach….
Just kidding, he’s terrible 🤣
Sharpe isn’t going to be an All Star. (I’d love to be wrong!)
I really don’t want to admit but scoot and mudiay are really comparable
We will mostly likely not end up with Cooper Flagg and it will be on Scoot, Shaedon, and Deni to take massive leaps over the next 2 years to prevent us from becoming a bottom feeder for the foreseeable future.
