    Probably but KCP can’t shoot as well as Ant but he is a great defender.

    It just means that if we do send Ant that we'd be taking back close to equal salary. I think it does make Ant going there less likely.

    I mean I don't think Cronin was really planning on trading Ant this year. He's on a great contract still.

    That's a mistake. By his own words, we need to clear the runway for Scoot and Shae. His value will only diminish.

    Ant cannot play PG and I will never be convinced otherwise.

    I think he still believes that the Ant/Scoot/Sharpe guard rotation is viable.

    If Deni can play point forward, do we need Ant to be able to play PG?

    They don’t have minutes for him. Starting backcourt is KCP/Suggs

    Let me repeat myself

    ANT is not being traded this offseason unless a team blows Cronin out of the water with an offer so you can hope , pray , cross all fingers etc BUT Ant will still be a Blazer -- LOL

    I think Ant can play lead guard on a team that wants to play a lot of P&R and has a ton of defense around him. Best case scenario is him playing the 1 with a guy like Paolo or Scottie Barnes but it looks like both of those guys have their guard support lined up.

    I think the Spurs still make sense for Ant and I'm sure there are teams interested in Ant that are outside of my focus.

    Odd that Cronin and Billups refuse to mention Simons by name if this is the case.

    there’s plenty of minutes. 96 minutes for 3 guards and KCP is low usage

    You certainly couldn't say that of any backcourt featuring Anfernee...

    So now we've gone from one team that could possibly be interested in Anfernee to zero?
