    CJ for Siakim is the missing piece.

    Norm starts at the 2. RoCo slides over to his natural 3 spot. Siakim plays the 4. Nurk anchors the middle. Nance comes off the bench like he should. Ant and Nas too.

    We have size, strength, a balanced roster, scoring, 3s, pick and roll, defense, a bench.

    If only the Raptors were actually interested in trading Siakam...

    Going back to the original post in this thread, are we sure Siakam is a better fit for that spot than Anderson?

    Good info! I never would have guessed Anderson measured up that well.

    This is intriguing. The 3pt% drop for Pascal last year is really hurting his efficiency. But I would not have guessed Anderson shot 6 threes a game at that %.

    So according to that win analysis, we get worse and the other two teams get better.

    Your thoughts on this?

    I do think the Blazers need a more traditional pass first set the table point guard. Ant is more of a scoring PG like Lillard.

    Kyle Anderson is a fantastic player.

    Probably not. Like I said, it was just off-the-cuff.
