    Well think about it? You are trying to compare the Blazers to the Warriors.

    Know I am not just stating that the Blazers don't have enough play makers to be not and up and down team. Just saying the reason that the warriors are successful because they do.

    You will get absolutely no argument from me when you say the Blazers need more play makers. That my friend is for certain.

    Hmm. Some coaches might connect that to the need to develop Simons and Trent.

    This is where the conversation got bad a couple weeks ago. If you decide to go all in and just play Simons and Trent and sit the likes of Turner, Curry, Stauskas then you are most likely going to give up a few wins. In the long run yes you might develop a better player or you might just lose games and end up with nothing better at all. Not in any way saying that is not a better route. But there are those that would rather win those games that you are going to lose by going full developmental. The point a couple weeks ago was that the Team is indeed entertainment. And they sell more tickets when they win more games. If they went with the rookies it "COULD" be considered tanking.

    You do have a point but that’s not really what my point was either.

    I get what youre saying but itd only be considered tanking if it caused them to start losing games they wouldnt normally lose. If they continue to play about the same and get to develope the young guys it wouldnt be tanking.
