    Looks like Blazers signed him to a 1 year deal...

    Hopefully this means we have a good offer on the table for Simons.

    Would seem unlikely that signing a bench player (who is 29) would be a signal we're trading our leading scorer.

    "See - we didn't need those second round picks!"

    Or is it an admission that none of our SL point guards is worth jack?

    Especially one that stands 6' tall (barefoot) and who is average at best at shooting.

    Of all the teams to collect the cast-offs of, why have we picked Charlotte? I mean, they're bad, so anyone they don't want to keep is either bad (so we don't want them) or a barrier to tanking (so we don't want them) or not a player you want on a rebuilding team (you get the idea).

    Choosing a 6'1 guard increases our chanches at Cooper flagg despite Sharpe, Scoot, Clingan, Avdija balling well. It means Simons is on the way out as part of a Markannen multi-team trade next week

    I think some on here have already forgotten what next season’s mission is.

    We're not looking for anybody who might be a leading scorer. We're looking for somebody who can fill in and be not much better if at all better than our two young guys.

    And, I'm just being hopeful. Can't I just be hopeful?

    If Graham is anywhere near as good as Sharpe/Scoot, we're in big big trouble!
