    Could happen? I get the vibe that Dame is involved with the current plan.

    Yeah, that will happen like with CJ & Powell. Id like to se them get a 6'7-6'8 SF that can produce and play D. Even Winslow is 6'5 but tough.

    Don't you think that Little and Hart are bigger and better defenders than CJ and Norm?

    Yeah sure....Naz is a junk yard dog but he's not yet a lock down defender at the three, Hart probably does a better job of getting in front of his man. I think Hart may fit better along with Dame in back court and he's a better defender than Simons or Dame.

    If we keep both Dame and Simons, I think Hart should start and Simons play 30+ minutes off the bench.

    It was not there when I immediately there after quoted and responded.

    That being said, I apologize for your lack of chill (98.2% of what I post here is sarcasm) and the sand in your vagina. Can I send you some lotion for your “ocean”?

    Had to watch this multiple times because I don't think I've seen a Trailblazer move their feet like that on defense since probably Wesley Mathews. If that's the Hart we get on defense, that's a huge win.

    I'll take my rose colored glasses off when looking at the rest of the deadline deals, but I at least like what I see so far from Hart.

    He also had a huge defensive transition play where he didn't get the foul, defended the ball then switched and went up on the offensive follower, who the ball was passed to and forced an awkward shot mclemore rebounded.

    Another play where he rebounded, then pushed the length and then drew a foul going up.

    really liking his game and i think Chauncey does too.
    Dame/Hart/Ant is better than any three guard lineup we had previously.

    These players seem to fit what Chauncey wants better than the ones that left.

    Of course. However, we should have gotten more assets in return. If you take lesser players, you should get more in the way of draft picks. We took lesser players that fit better with what he wants to do.

    totally agree. Tho what if we get non-CB guys and their value tanks. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    IMO at worst we tied in the Pels trade, and let's wait and see what 19 yr old Keon shows before we write the epitaph on that trade

    Oh yeah, and Winslow looks like a pretty decent D playing rotation player to me, wasn't he past of the Clipper trade?

    Honestly, both teams lost in the Clips trade.
    • The extra $$$ the Clips took in the trade puts them that much deeper in the luxury tax, and of course, they have to pay double that.
    • Until this last game, they've lost each game since the trade even with the new additions anyway, and by a LOT of points.
    • And now, Powell is injured (broken foot) - I assume he's out for the season.
    • They're not really playing RoCo that much, either.
