    Is the question, should Winslow be the back up center?

    Nothing against Eubanks, but he is a matchups player. Not someone that needs to play every night. Going small should be an option we go to more with our personnel.

    Last year, Portland didn't get their 4th road win until Jan 17th.

    Their 18th road game.

    And their 43rd overall game.

    They didn't get their 7th overall win until Nov 15th and their 15th game.

    Yeah I would think there has to be a consolidation at some point. Sharpe, GP, Watford, Winslow, Nas, Jabari, and Keon can all contribute and deserve some sort of roll imo. Maybe that OG stuff will finally come to fruition. I’m trying to think of who and what we actually need. I’d love another Big with range and consistency. I guess we will see in a few momths.

    I would like to see Billups try replacing Eubanks with someone else. Whether it's Winslow or Jabari Walker. Replacing Eubanks means someone like Little or Walker getting more playing time at the other positions.

    We can’t actually consolidate. We have to have 14 players. There will always be good players who don’t play. But there are injuries and it’s great to have good backups.

    We can trade 3 average players for 1 really good one and 2 bench warmers.

    I'd rather they cut down on Dame, Simons and Grants minutes. Thats where they will find time for Sharpe, Payton and Winslow.

    Right now, part of the reason why Dame, Ant, Grant and Hart are playing so much is BECAUSE they don't have a decent backup PG or player who they can use to mask Dame's defense if Hart or Grant goes out.

    I’d just rather not trade for OG at this point. Sharpe and Nas are both guys that need more minutes. A big man though—definitely. Big with range would be even better, but a more athletic/mobile big would be nice.

    I think Nas needs more the 7 min, his stroke looks nice this year. Nas, GP, Winslow, and Sharpe should get the bench mins imo. Sorry Watford/Keon/Jabari/Eubanks.

    Nas isn't playing because he's just been absolutely lost defensively so far this season. The other rotation guys that are lost the same amount are Ant and Dame, but obviously we need those two for other reasons.

    Him becoming a reliable shooter is a pretty significant development though. And with his contract extension we have time to bring him along slowly.

    wow....couldn't disagree more, at least about the team. I'm all for seeing Sharpe play

    but this is the most entertaining Blazer team since 2013-14. The 7 years of reboots of Olshey's love affair with CJ started out boring and became more boring each & every year. This team is an incredible change of pace from the Stolshey era

    love watching them
