    Can’t risk major injury before trading him

    One problem is that he doesn't know that, another is Ant and Jerami don't know it and the last problem in regards to the fact you stated is that I'm not sure Chauncey knows it but every once in a while Chauncey talks like he knows Shaedon is the best player on this team.

    Spurs actually pass the ball. They got open looks and 35 assists. We...don't.

    I just don't have any interest watching grant/ayton/ ant chuck up shots and play lackluster d for 30+ mins and lose..... all while scoot/shaedon/clingan play < 20 minutes and come off the bench.

    if we're gonna be shit, can we at least let the young guys who we want to evaluate play? wtf is this strategy, man. pick a lane. if you're gonna rebuild, then go all in.

    This season so far, I have only really paid attention while our bench is in the game. Watching our starters play is boring as f.

    I watched a afternoon tv show of the gentleman that played Col. Klink on Hogans Heroes. He and the gentleman that played Sgt. Schultz were real life Jewish and agreed to do the show as long as the Nazi's were always the butts of the jokes and never had any success. Both were great men. Probably got deeper than you wanted.
    Edit; The show was many years ago. Both sadly have been passed for many years.

    Hey, Schultz was no Nazi. Dude was conscripted into the army. Schultz had a heart of gold.

    I would love it if our rotation were Scoot/Sharpe/Deni/Toumani/DC backed by Banton/Rupert/Murray/Walker... and maybe RW3 until his next injury. Sit everyone else.

    The last time the Blazers had a team that could realistically tank was 2016 and 2017. Stotts pulled those teams into the playoffs and probably rightfully so because both drafts produced very little. 2016 did have Jaylen Brown and Domantas Sabonis, Jamal Murray so there were a few picks but unfortunately the Blazers didn't have any. 2017 netted Collins and Swanigan in a weird set of trades with the Kings. They missed a few decent players in all that.

    The point here is where are they going right now? It's already looking like it's time to shut players down if you are going to draft players? The other option is to let these guys win? What I'm seeing is they can win a few games and get into the play-in. This has got to be the toughest thing to do as a coach at this point. I'm really starting to feel for Chauncey. I would love to be privy to a few conversations that have happened between Billups and Cronin.
