    It wouldn't have to be one of their guys that have already shown they can play for me to pull the trigger. A prospect like Black, salary filler and multiple FRPs and I'd be good. I think more people (hopefully Joe is one of them) need to embrace the suck that is a rebuild and stop trying to shortcut it.

    He's far worse at paint protection though. I think our defense looks way better with Deandre in, he's both more switchable and even though he doesn't block shots he puts up more resistance to driving opponents.

    It’s negligible imo, and also doesnt account for how much better Duop is offensively. Overall impact is not close.

    the Blazers are bad, boring, and playing Brogdon and Grant way too much in a rebuilding season.

    Brogdon and Grant lead the team in playing time at 18 minutes each.

    What the hell.

    It's disgusting that Grant has more playing time than Camara.

    On a Rebuilding team.

    We better be getting ready to trade both or I'm going to do something I said wouldn't happen this season and melt down big time. If either of those guys are on our team in 18 days I'm gonna lose my shit.

    Ayton, 10 minutes, 2 points 1 rebound. He's the most over-paid player in NBA history.

    Camara is not the future, unless he improves dramatically. He's terrible offensively.

    Isos can result in passes.

    Simons got clubbed by Hachimura. There's some good defense right there.

    Lakers getting layups, Blazers canning enough triples to prevent a blowout.

    Problem is they aren’t developing the young guys?

    Yikes, I don't know if the gap is big but I definitely think the Deandre is better on both ends of the court. Being able to hit a corner three isn't everything on offense. To say it's not close, implying Duop's the one who is the better by a wide margin seems silly to me but everyone is entitled to their own take.
