Yep this is Neils championship roster. He REALLY needs to move on from this team. One trip to a sweep in the conference finals is not a feather in your cap when you have been here as long as he has.
With no real moves I think Dame gives Chauncey a shot to make the team play better and Neil a shot to make moves early in the season but I really think that if the deadline is approaching, nothing has been done with the roster and we're losing to playoff teams the way we did last season... Dame's going to be asking to be traded at the deadline. That's just the feeling I get. I see nothing urgent about giving Neil this entire off season, the whole season and next off season to meet Dame's demands but maybe Neil has sold Dame a bill of goods... I just don't see Dame being gullible.
In other words we are wasting another year of Dames prime and will trade Dame next offseason after we get bounced in the first round again.
Friday night news dump with regards to our upcoming signing. Might not be a pretty one given the twitter response for Snell/McLemore.
Even after coming back from his major injury, he played only 44 games last year. Not a plus defender. So I think No.
that's all fine, but if CJ was actually better than Simmons in the playoffs, he would lead in at least a couple of those categories yes....there are very legitimate questions about Simmons; and when I consider them, I'm a lot less keen to make him a Blazer. But, he might be Portland's best chance of staving off a Dame trade. Blazers shouldn't spend the farm in pursuing him though
