Anfernee Simons Appreciation Post. I love you Ant



If we go for the “Big Push” in the off-season, it seems like Ant might have played his last games in Portland. I love the player he is and have had so much fun watching his insane hit streaks in games. He’s brought so many fun memories, but it seems like he just is not the greatest fit next to Dame. Hopefully we can work something out where we can have a great team with Dame, Ant AND Shae, but it seems unlikely. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks to Ant for the fun times, whether he stays or not.

  1. Ant for OG (not necessarily straight up) makes too much sense for both teams. Raptors one of the worst shooting teams in the league, and could lose FVV. We need a wing like OG bad

    Dames prodigy šŸ˜” will be sacrificed for whatever we can do

  3. Hard agree.

    I think maybe it’s best to move Ant this off season but I’ll always love and root for him.

    Fuck the Ant slander.

    We love you Anferno, wherever you are next season, Portland or elsewhere, I hope you light it up šŸ”„

    Thankfully casual fans arenā€™t in charge of our roster. People sleep on Antā€™s elite game and still rapidly improving learning curve so much itā€™s embarassing. Addition by subtraction is not the way. Sharpe is looking like an amazing rookie find, but I donā€™t think heā€™s ready to be the 2nd option on a top nba team (yet).

    Think our offseason moves are going to look very different than anyone predicts. We have so much flexibility and assets for the first time in years and Cronin is a young master at maximizing returns and minimizing losses. Hope we keep Ant unless some crazy deal manifests. Even then, it might not be worth it.

    100% all of this. I’ve been ride or die with Ant since the last game of his rookie year. He’s such a good dude. I want to see him have all the success in the world.

  6. Emotions completely aside, I still think the best route for this team is to move on from dame and build around the return + Ant/Shae/our lotto pick. I really think Ant will be an all star level player in a couple years.

    So fun watching young unknown prospects blossom into killers on the court

    Hard take. Itā€™s Dames time to go. I know Iā€™m going to get downvoted, but Iā€™ve fallen in love with Ant and Sharpe and donā€™t wanna see either leave. Someoneā€™s gotta go I get it. I just donā€™t want it to be Ant. Much love though Dameā¤ļø

    I hope going forward includes a plan to guard him at the perimeter, because otherwise we are so fucked

    How come he got the name Ant when his name is Anfrenee?

  11. VitruvianDude

    I’d like to see him take a role like Downtown Freddie Brown (now, that’s really showing my age). He was an all-star and a tremendous shooter, but when he took the part as the third guard behind Gus Williams and Dennis Johnson, he became an NBA Champion as well, playing nearly as many minutes he did as when he started.

    Ant + Sharpe + lotto pick are our new core. Dame is the odd man out. See ya dame!

    Weā€™re going to trade him for something much worse and regret it. Heā€™s a stud.
