    Have to agree he needs to rebound better but I doubt at this point he will change.

    Everyone was awful last season. The team has taken the last three years off. Yeah I didn’t watch nearly as closely as I usually do. Tanking does that.

    I wonder if playing the 2 would actually help him.

    If the starting lineup ends up being Jrue, Jerami, Tou, Deni and Clingan then we're looking at a one guard lineup with three wings and one post. To characterize Jerami as a guard would be a little weird and the only reason someone would do that is because they want to dogmatically stick to the idea of two guards, two forwards and a center.

    I still hope the starting lineup that we roll out on opening night is Jrue, Shaedon, Tou, Deni and Clingan.

    Crazy to hear that Rob is still not cleared.

    I still really love Shaedon. I don't think he's just passive, he might be too humble but I think he means it when he says he doesn't expect anything and wants his game to speak for itself and I think we'll see a big jump forward from him both on offense but especially on D.

    Maybe the Blazers could trade for Simons. I could probably play some guard?

    @SlyPokerDog i nominate myself to be a MOD! I’ve seen some of the bitches with MOD status on here and this shouldn’t be too difficult of a division. I promise on everything there would be no bullshit threads created.

    How would he ever have had a chance to be the “franchise player” when our ACTUAL “franchise player” has played in front of him his whole time here. CB is all about defense, that’s what he values. I’ve never considered him a franchise level player to be honest. I’m very content on how he has progressed.

    My son was sitting next to Ben Simmons at a restaurant at lunch today in Venice Beach. Chatted him up for awhile he said. Simmons told him he’d end up , “playing in LA” this season. Hmmmmm

    He started most of his games last season and has started 92 overall. Kobe only started 57 games in his first three seasons. One of those seasons was lockout year, but even if there was no lockout, he wouldn’t have started as much as Shaedon. Also- Shaedon was yanked from games in 2023 to help tank. Others:

    Jermaine O’Neal: 1
    Steve Nash: 51


    Drexler only started 107 games.
