Careful there most people don't call marijuana dope these days unless it's really good and then they might say it's really dope. When I hear someone say that someone else smokes dope, I think they're saying that the person free bases heroin. Dope over the years has evolved to mean much harder drugs than marijuana.
Well, Sharpe got moved to the bench and Simons did not. So did he talk to him? Maybe. But Simons still sucks at defense and Simons is still starting
That means that if the deadline passes, and Simons is still here, he better be getting moved to the bench until his defense improves.
Yet they have looked better with the current starting lineup. Playing great D with Simons starting. Do I think he is a great defender? No, but to my eye, he has improved quite a bit in the last year.
Orrrrrrrrrrr he's out there with four really good defenders and we're covering for his warts, but Scoot is a better defender, better shooter right now, and just better overall.
last season he was 3.5 worse than the team in defensive rating; this season he's 4.1 points worse last season, he had a DBPM 1.9 points worse than the team; this season he's 1.4 points worse than the team so a mixed bag of simple gauges, but he's still worse than any rotation Blazer. And he's been the worst since he assumed the starting role in the 2021-22 season
Look I love how Scoot is playing and I hope he does start. But Simons is also playing well. He fits well next to Deni in the backcourt. And Scoot is playing great off the bench. So maybe Chauncey knows more than both of us? But we are getting off-topic. None of us have a clue whether or not Chauncey talked to Simons as well
Fair enough. If I were to guess, I still think this team wants a high pick this year and they are going to see if letting the young players play is enough or not - if they win despite the fact that the vets get tankanitis - the will be OK with it, if they can't, the team will be happy to take the higher draft odds.

If you have a good offensive player who’s weak at the defensive end, wouldn’t it be better to play him with good defenders who can cover for him than to play a better defender in that spot? Pretty much makes the offensive stud unplayable when he doesn’t have great defenders covering for him.
Why do you think this? I'm not seeing any of that. I see a Blazer team that wants to make a run at the playin and has more wins today than over 82 games last year. Last year we ended up with pick #7.
But Scoot has been outplaying Simons on both ends. So why not just start the guy who can play both ways?
A. Not sure that’s true. B. Because the weak defender doesn’t have a shot to make his offensive contributions at a time when he’s covered by better defenders.
I believe eBlazer point in that then your pairing Simons bad defense with Sharpe bad defense. Instead right now the best defenders are starting with Simons covering his D. Scoot can bring his D on the 2nd unit where he doesn't require the same excellent defensive starters to play with him that Ant needs. Not saying Id do the same move, and an element of it seems a little fucked up as you say if Scoot is outplaying a starter, but I can kind of see strategically the argument for that.
