    If we had traded CJ in the summer, we would be undefeated for the season.

    I think we snag Grant with the late lotto pick and see how things play with Dame. If he doesn’t gel or the ball movement that’s happening now stops a Jaylen Brown package could be exactly what we need. Grant will be good either way.

    A few years from now this could be a seamless baton passing like the Mavs had with Dirk to Luca

    But....CJ is our starting SG right now. Why would we have traded him this past summer? Heck, then we'd still have that other CJ

    I'd like to be better than the Mavs, though.

    Nurk is a bum. Can’t even get a double/double

    the more I watch Simons, the less I'm thinking, like I recently did, that Dame/Ant will be a reboot of all the issues with Dame/CJ. I think the addition of Hsrt is big in this equation; and so is Billups

    I'm actually looking forward to seeing if the Blazers can make it work
