    I knew it all along. Check out my tag line next to my avatar. It has been there since his rookie year.

    If you’ve looked at the most recent PER stats, the obvious solution is to keep CJ and Ant and trade Dame. ;)

    If the Blazers can duck the tax this year then they can avoid repeater next year.

    If Ant keeps up his current production its an easy decision because he's worth matching a huge contract. The problem is if he has a bunch of struggles and we end up in another Allen Crabbe situation.

    Yeah maybe if we resign him you trade one of CJ Powell Ant eventually, but there wouldn't be a rush to do it. The way 4 games have gone this year, Roco would only be a vet minimum guy so we free up that salary.

    At some point his asset value does start to decline, its not now but he's 31 years old with some wear and tear.

    We should trade Ant for that Melo dude on the Lakers.

    I think Simons will be more valuable when his contract increases. Right now there are only so many players you can trade him for. So this CJ/Simons dilemma might not be solved until next year.

    I’d say Dame’s asset value is already declining. Asset value should peak a few years before a player actually peaks and Dame has probably already actually peaked.

    You could trade Simons and Roco now, their salaries can take back over $20 million.

    I wouldn't call having CJ & Simons a dilemma... Seems like Blazer fans have a desire to trade player the instance they appear to become useful.

    where is Simons going to get starter caliber minutes from when Powell is healthy? Because if he’s not getting that, you’re not utilizing him fully. Nevermind that he’s gonna get paid like a starter if he keeps playing even close to how he’s playing now. It’s just the reality.

    Fun to read this thread. Started not even a year ago. The kid sure is young.
    How much better can he get?
    I’ll bet a year from now he’s better than today.

    He's taking minutes away from Blevins. He must go.

    Ants numbers as a starter this season

    21.6 PPG
    5.8 APG
    45% FG
    41% 3PT

    Steph came into the league at 21 and was an immediate starter. He has averaged just over 6 assists in his career and didn't have his first season averaging over 6 until he was 24. His first season averaging 20 points was at 24. His first all star game was at 25 (Dame was 23) Ant is 22 right now.

    I'm not saying he is the next Steph, but hes the closest thing I've seen to him since. He's definitely getting the max

    This is the 5 year max for Simons? That scares me.

    If you look at overall PER stats this season, our team sucks. Nurkic is our best and he’s 42nd in the league.

    That's why we can't carry Dame and Simons. It's fiscally not a good decision, and I think Simons needs to be at the point to continue to grow.
