    What about Simons? Isnt he going to want to start somewhere or do you think he'd be good with coming off the bench?

    doesn’t really matter what anyone thinks, Simons will be starting next to Dame next season.

    Williams could’ve had three straight 20 point games if he didn’t get hurt vs the suns. He had 14 points in 15 minutes in that game.

    How do you know they dont pkg him with picks? I mean, he's still got to improve his defense otherwise we have the same issue with Dame & CJ.

    Package who with picks, Ant? Very very safe guess. It’s not happening and pointless to even think about.

    Because they traded both CJ and Norm to give Simons the keys. He is the Blazers future at this point.

    We both it's not in our hands and we both have absolutely no idea what they will do, or what Ant wants for his future. He has options just like the blazers do so expect the unexpected!

    Could be, I personally think they want to bring in a star front line player and they have Hart that can compliment Dame maybe better than Simons because he's so active on the D side.
    We will see....

    Is Simons going to be a 30 million per year player next year for the Blazers?

    Were Dames fives straight losses and four of them by over 30 points?
    Just wondering?

    That's the problem. Same as CJ. Very expensive 6th man?

    So we’re subjecting the young guys to 40-point blowouts so we can get a star in the draft? Really? Do you know how many 1st round picks have been busts? I can think of many drafts where the 15th player picked ended up being better than the fifth player picked. This whole tanking thing is embarrassing and just plain stupid.

    That would be about par for the course.
