    I agree that positionally, this is not a big need for the team. I would argue that if Sharpe really has the potential to be special (which many people do see to believe he has) - this is a problem that is easy to solve. Frankly, if NeO was smart enough, he would have done a CJ trade a lot earlier when it was clear that two very good PGs on the roster does not optimize their talent. If the Blazers are in position to choose between Ant and Sharpe at some point - you choose the one that is better for the roster at this point and upgrade by trading the other for a position of need.

    As for Daniels vs Sharpe, I can not answer that. I have not watched much of him.

    There is also a world where Sharpe can grow an inch or two and can become a full time SF.

    He has to take a jump on the defensive side of the court because we won't be able to play him with Dame at the end of games if they're both shitty.

    Well.... see... that's a problem. Your star players can't be played off the court. That's not a recipe for winning.

    I disagree. I think it can be a plug and play depending on the opponent.
    That and i also expect Billups to accelerate Ants defensive improvements.

    Calabro is more annoying to me than Blevins.

    When the Blazers are nowhere close to contending and need a large influx of talent, the answer to this question is obvious.

    Yes, but if you take the amount of points he didn't score and divide it by the number of minutes he played, his per/36 is off the charts.

    You don't draft a player in the lottery for immediate fit.

    Just like Detroit with Grant tell TOR thanks but no thanks, you can keep OG unless you want to be reasonable, I think nothing happens here and prefer that
