You don't see the major flaw with putting the majority of weight on "potential"?
Well put. Very much agree! I think we could add even more barriers to all three as well. To think any of them are clearly the future is hopeful at...
I said nothing about the "potential" of the three in question, but I get why you'd want to move the goal-posts away from production. Ayton at age 21...
I'd say there is nothing to suggest Portland will be a top 6 team in the future. With the amount of turnover in the league, projecting 5+ years out...
The main reason Simons is unlikely to play at a championship contending level is that Portland is unlikely to build a championship roster in the next...
I think Ant is good enough to start on a contending team. I think there are 100+ players good enough to start on a contending team in the right...
Given one...?
If that were the case, that would be something to take into consideration. Luckily, it's not.
It's certainly possible, as is the alternative.
Any good player will increase the odds of us winning games. Sharpe (when healthy) will also contribute to this problem. Trust me, we're plenty bad...
It's possible you're right. Also possible you're wrong. There is little to no evidence that he's hurting the development of the young players or...
I see what you're saying. If by "contender" you mean like an NBA Finals teams, and you're assuming he won't get any better, I could see that stance....
Agreed Ant will be starting, as he should be. If Scoot or Sharpe come off the bench is yet to be seen. I very much look forward to the day that...
You think Scoot has more room for growth than Ant, and that is a fair personal opinion, but it's far from a fact. Scoot also has a ways to go to be...
I agree that Grant or Ant are highly unlikely to lead a contending team, luckily, neither of them are on a deal that would require them to do so. I...
I thought I answered it, but I'll try again. In your scenario, the Blazers would have given up an asset (Ant) and would have received no asset in...
The question asked of me was if we would be better of simply being off Ant's contract. I believe it would be ignorant to ignore that face Portland...
I fully disagree that Grant/Ant have had a true opportunity to be the lead options on a roster good enough to win a playoff series. The second we...
It's possible Ant or Grant won't help us win a first round series. Also possible Scoot and Sharpe won't help us win a series. So do we trade them now...
Is there a non subjective way to measure it? If so, I'm all for it! To answer your second question, I would say an amensty of Ant would be a net...
