    even their stats are not that similar if we want purely a numbers eval.

    Crabbe was strictly a catch and shoot wing, while Simons is a guard who gets quite a few buckets off the dribble. Crabbe defended a bit, Simons is a turnstile. Simons is also a much better passer.

    I think this thread is onto something. Powell can not be traded so the logical thing to do is to trade CJ and Ant before the deadline for the best value possible. I think CJ has value with a handful of teams around the league. I think Ant has value all over the league and you could trade him for two min salary players and draft picks or trade him with RoCo or Nurk for an upgrade.

    Nas is the one developing talent i keep, unless involved in a deal to bring a big talent back. He, not Ant, has the most upside cause he plays both ends. And finishes like a man possessed. Ant doesn't have those attributes so far. Ant, the slam dunk champ, continues to finesse his way to the hoop, resulting in mixed results. Plus he's mainly a shooter, showing limited facilitating ability. I like Ant, but i don't see the eye of the tiger in him. I do in Nassir Little. So if other teams are high on him, he may lead to helping get , the quality veteran player we need.

    Stay young. I don't think Dame is going to turn it around this season. We should tank and get a high pick while developing Ant and Nassir and whoever we get back in trades from CJ, Nurk, Roco and others. Dame should get surgery soon and call it a season if we don't see anything change soon.
