    Oh I get it, CJ is our backup. I don't like it, but that's just how it is.

    With that said, the hyperbole about Simons is a little ridiculous.

    "We look at Rodney as a guard, a shooting guard small forward, he's definitely not a power forward"

    This is not what the said last season, LMAO/

    People that act like they're the smartest person in the room are usually wrong.

    I was talking about Neil. He's super patronizing-- it's his thing

    He always starts responding to questions like someone just insulted his dog.

    But he usually answers pretty candidly after.

    Wow. This is revealing. Melo coming off the bench was broached before signing.

    Neil on Melo:

    "He will probably come off the bench"

    YES PLEASE.

    Who is starting?

    "Cov and Derrick"

    Melo's mindset is still as a starter but sounds like he will come off the bench.
    Olshey thinks Covington starts at the '3'.

    I think that conversation had to be had before bringing him back. Otherwise what's even the point?

    He indicated that DJJ is going to start. That is something I did not expect.....but kind of looking forward to it.

    Really no mention of Whiteside... Neil said we only have 2 players above 6'8" that are healthy... Is Hassan hurt? Not being looked at as being on the team when camp opens?

    Like I said in another thread, I think Terry is going to plug RoCo into the Aminu role.

    I mean, that was pretty obvious no? Covington is essentially a much better version of Aminu.

    The surprising thing was DJJ starting.

    Well, I really don't think Hood is ready to start, so either you're looking at Melo or GTJ if it's not DJJ.

    "Ideally for Melo, he'd still start. Make the reality about coming back to Portland based on coming off the bench to start the game..... Depending on who starts at three, we think it's COV. And. Derrick."

    This is a confusing sentence. So Roco at 3 and Derrick at 4?
