    so, he's in Portland till he's on Medicare

    and I like you said "at least" two firsts. Yeah, you might be able to get three or four, don't settle for two

    asking 2 first's for Ant sounds like Morey or Ujiri if they are in a belligerent mood; which may be their default setting

    Can't look forward to a damn thing overall until this Dame crap is settled. Do like our potential though for sure.

    How does Sharpe fit this better any better than Ant?

    Do you think Sharpe is further along in this areas than Ant? Or is this hope for the future?

    He will be better? Sure, maybe. But Ant can get better too. Sharpe hasn't showed me any of those three things at a better clip than Ant yet but he is further ahead than Ant was at the same age. I don't understand going away from a player for identity reasons towards a player that doesn't fit that identity any more right now, because that's valuing youth, not identity.

    I think Sharpe is further ahead right now (although he still has a LOT of room for growth)
