  1. Why would they trade Simons bro is a dawg smh why trade the pick might as well keep it And develop scoot or whoever they pick smh just sign a forward in FA or just use cam more or move Grant to small forward and play Jabari walker at the 4

  2. Bruh, So easy for my Wiz…1st you offer Beal for that package and they can keep Simmons…2nd….Do a sign & Trade of either Kuz or Kp with the Wiz taking Simmons and the Pick….Any of the 3… Done & Done 👏

  3. If blazers want to win and keep dame, they have to get rid of their youth and get win now players.
    You can trade Anfernee and Sharpe and pick for Cam Johnson and Bridges.
    Lillard, bridges, grant, Johnson and Nurkic. Is a nasty roster. Plus your bench would consist of Little, Reddish, Keon and Watford. Of course sharpe has a high ceiling but it’s gonna take him another 2 years for him to fully become a star. It’s just the truth. It’s a tough decision for the front office but a decision has to be made.

  4. Unless scoot drops I wouldn't trade with Portland. You come off better with Charlotte for the #2. Pas OG Banton, Porter to Charlotte for rozier, #2, Hayward bouknight n pick swaps next year or 25.

  5. I would prefer Scottie Barnes over Siakam. And we have an $8M trade exception. If we get Siakam then I hope they shop a 1st to Denver for a Sign & Trade for Bruce Brown for that trade exception.

  6. I like Pascal but I hate trading for a person on a 1 year deal for someone whose young and has 3 more years on his contract. Portland usually is not able to resign players to continue playing here.

  7. Keep the third pick & draft Scoot. He will be like a combination of Chris Paul & Donavan Mitchell. He can play alongside Dame, Anfernee or Shaedon.

  8. What if Damien gets hurt you’re screwed for 8 to 10 years. Sharp and the number three pic is the future!

  9. Celtics are giving Tatum the supermax. They cant afford to also give it to Brown if they dont even get out of the ECF vs Miami. A sign and trade for Brown involving Simons, # 3etc would be possible

  10. @cyro asseo the blazers likely need an og and otto porter jr as they have to address their bench. maybe even a chris boucher.

  11. @cyro asseo a look at impact stats on winning of players rumored to be traded for 3rd pick.

    you want me to show you the comparison of impact stats on winning and compare og anunoby, mikail bridges and anfernee simons and pascal siakam this year? i can do that if you want to show you og is actually better than mikail bridges even based on impact stats. the difference in offensive production between og and bridges is that bridges has more useage and gets more shots.

    we will look at shots attemped, ppg, useage, winshare, bpm and vorp for 2022/23

    anfernee simons 16.9 shots attempted / 21.1ppg/ 25.1 useage / 2.5 winshare/ -1.1 bpm / .5 vorp

    mikail bridges 18.6 shots attempted/ 26.1 ppg/ 30.3 useage/ 2.5 winshare/ 3.3 bpm/ 1.2 vorp

    og anunoby 13.2 shots attempted/ 16.8 ppg/ 19.5 percent useage/ 4.7 winshare/ .4 bpm/ 1.5 vorp

    pascal siakam 18.5 shot attempts/ 24.2ppg/27.2 useage/ 7.8 winshare/ 3.1bpm/ 3.5 vorp.

    based on impact stats, you can see who the much better player is. impact stats dont lie.

    based on this, i dont think the 3rd pick and simons is enough for siakam so i doubt he will be traded for that.

    even og has a higher winshare and vorp than bridges on 19 percent useage compared to bridges 30.3 percent useage

  12. What’s Simons trade value on his own? A first round pick? Two first round picks?
