    I'm not one of them. I didn't think Simons could get past CJ to be backup PG and still don't. I think those that turned on him shouldn't be ashamed. They were being optimistic and then saw just how lost Ant was when in games and his shot wasn't even falling at a great clip.

    Simons had a hot stretch at the end of his rookie season and he hit the rookie wall second year. People forget he played ZERO college ball and was thrown in the fire and last season he was on the scouting report.....Layman did the same thing...came out hot then got scouted and cooled off. 3rd year Layman and Connaughton looked like rotation players and got paid somewhere else....This is Ants year to prove he is an NBA rotation player.

    I believe Gary is from Charlotte or somewhere near there...I'll bet he'd love to play in his home state....that being said...I hope we keep him here for his career

    Unless we want him to stay here and then we get him for as long as one of those big markets try to sign him for.

    So I was just watching the 2 minute clip from today's training camp. I truly think NO drafted CJ2 incase GTJ gets a max contract offer next year. It'd be hard for the Blazers to match that. NO is known for drafting a position a year ahead of certain players being a FA.

    If you can get any rotation player in the middle of the second round its great value regardless of GTJ staying or going.

    He’s a cornerstone and SG of the future—and you can make the case that he should be the starting SG right now!

    Max???

    Let the hand wringing begin....

    Gary Trent has done well. He will most certainly make an impact this season. Max contract impact? Lets hope so. If he does Blazers will have a very nice problem to deal with.

    Lots of so so players that are RFA get max contracts from other teams hoping that their original team won't match it. I mean we gave Wes a max contract I believe to leave the Jazz.
