    ANT isn't even close Malone, Ewing, or Barkley. Or Rider, as far as that goes (though, I'd take Ant on my team far before Rider).

    And Morrison wasn't a starter on any championship teams. In fact, he averaged about 6 minutes per game on those teams.

    Agree 100%. No way Ant wins a title as a starter unless he drastically improves over anything we ever saw. And certainly never as a number 1 option.

    I'd trade Grant for any of them.

    Oh, you thought I was comparing Ant to those hall of famers? Day drinking?

    You would trade for Trae Young?

    Yes. Because he has more trade value then Grant.

    He makes more money than Grant so who else are you sending out to get him?

    You literally compared him them. Not sure if you intended to, but you literally did. Those guys were elite at multiple facets of the game.

    They played the same sport as Ant does. That's where the comparison ends.

    Blazers are just waiting on Giannis or Zion to request the trade.

    That woman is not really getting up. She's either 7'6" and moves really well and that's not it or like me on certain days in junior high and early in high school, went to a kid's playground with those 7 or 8 foot hoops and played dunk contest. Me and my friends used to love to do that shit when we were like 13-15.

    And sure it looks like she's getting up but if that hoop is only 8 feet high then that vert is something like 15-20 inches. That last dunk where she doesn't bend her knees to distort how high she's actually getting tells the story... along with the fact that when her legs are straight, she's barely getting higher than what it would take to jump over that toddler ball that she's dunking.
