    It's probably Jabari or Murray.....but I voted for Camara because I'm a Blazer fan and that means rooting for the underdog.

    Jabari and Murray are going to be quality rotation guys. Camara is going to be special...You can see it in his eyes. He's got it.

    Scoot
    Ant
    Sharpe
    Brogdon
    Tisse
    Grant
    Jabari
    Ayton
    Timelord

    Above will be rotation. Who get's the last spot? Who will force Joe to trade Grant?

    If one of Walker / Murray / Camara / Knox announce their presence between now and February, I think Grant+Brogdon will be a solid push-over-the-top moves for contenders. In exchange we can get our starting 3 in the kids' timeline

    I love that idea and think that's exactly what we should shoot for. I don't necessarily agree Jabari has his spot in the rotation locked up by any means. I think Camara could easily leapfrog him based on early returns.

    I'd much rather Ant be dealt than Brogdon. I greatly enjoy what MB brings to the team.

    I'm hoping Sharpe gets it together by then that Malcolm's value along with Jerami can help us acquire . . .fill in the blank your favourite young forward

    Walker is one best defender they got on this and a decent rebounder I see him in the rotation. I see Murray and the new guy in mop up.duties and maybe some playing time in the G-league so they can get minutes.

    According to Marang the insiders have said teen Frenchman Rayan Rupert has grown over an inch since being drafted and they expect he could even get taller given his massive wingspan. Good news is good news! Should make him 6'8.5 or so.

    Wow. I liked the guy already at the size he was.
    I wonder if that would delay his development at all? Or just make him a taller defender.

    Awesome. Maybe he'll keep growing, and instead of being the next Batum, he'll be the next Giannis.

    I find it equal parts amusing and troubling that while the Blazers are last in the league in outside shooting, alleged shooter Kris Murray can't crack the rotation. You'd think he'd get PT ahead of Skylar Mays, for Pete's sake!

    Walker and Camara in together remind me of Harkless and Aminu. Slightly different games, for sure, but two forwards who can switch effectively, do the dirty work, scrap, and hit an occasional shot. Our defensive effort immediately goes up when those two enter the game together.

    Yeah, but Walker and Camara provide an even bigger need than shooting.... defense and rebounding. Mays is playing because Simons is out and actually played well last night

    Walker and Camara have an old school feel to them. Camara reminds me of Jerome Kersey and Walker kinda reminds me of Dale Davis… but with a better outside shot.
