    Watch his FTA’s go up to career highs now that he’s not with us; Dame’s going to be like a kung fu guy taking off 900lb ankle weights playing for a team the NBA doesn’t hate.

    Not unless we pull guys out of games that we have huge leads in and then tell the media it was so we could lose games. I think the comments in the Haynes article will come and go without an investigation. I think it takes really blatant shit like what the Mavs did and then said they did in the moment in order to get investigated.

    Can someone correct this... But doesn't he just have a training camp contract? He's not yet signed with a full guarantee i thought?

    I can’t remember who I was listening to, but they said the Blazers wouldn’t have brought him out at media day if he wasn’t making the team.

    Plenty of times they've rolled out guys into media day and cut them a few weeks after camp.

    My outrageous (maybe not that outrageous) prediction: Ant makes the AS game.

    I think Ant should get 20 shots a game. Projecting a slight upticks to .460 FG%, 4 3PM, and 4 FTM, he will average 26-26.5ppg. I think he could be averaging around 6apg as well.

    Last year’s AS: Doncic, Curry, SGA, Dame, Morant, Fox, Booker

    This year, Dame is in the east. Morant will be serving a suspension. Curry is always a wild card given his health. Only locks right now are Doncic and SGA who will start as well as Fox who will be voted in. Curry is a lock if he’s healthy. So there could be 2 guards that can make the team as a wildcard or injury replacement.

    If Ant averages 27/3/6 on .460/.400/.870 and we are somewhere around the 9th seed, he is at least a lock replacement imo. Other notable contenders at guard would be Murray, Kyrie, Beal, CJ, Smart, FVV.

    Some of those guys like CJ and Beal may have their stats suppressed playing with notable scorers.

    Bold: the Blazers youth movement is more talented then anyone imagined. Cronin actually adds win now players at the trade deadline, and the Blazers make the playoffs for 1st time in 2 years.

    outlandish: Too many tough losses causes arguments and towel throwing in the Blazers huddle. Team meeting required.

    crazy: the Blazers can't win anything. Rockets level rebuild. The team can naturally lose for a great rookie with no alterations to the roster. Maybe a few fringe moves to add more future picks.

    Bold: Scoot wins ROY

    Outlandish: Dame from the logo wins the NBA Finals
