    A. I’m aware that additional assets would likely have to be included. That general trade idea is one that has been suggested and that’s all it is at this point.

    B. Every season there are multiple trades that happen which message board gurus would have said could never happen. It happens.

    Hard to say. Some team might value Simons upside and ability to be a lead scorer more than we think

    No, it's NOT hard to say, this is not even close for OG

    OG is just the current version of whatever player Blazer fans massively and disproportionately overrate.

    Blazers need Klutch and OG to make this a public mess for Cronin to get any sort of efficient asset exchange.

    I think he was playing on Minnesota summer league team or something. Maybe he already has a 2 way or G league deal somewhere else.

    I'm a bit surprised we didn't keep a guard though. Maybe we have a new target for that 9th string slot.

    And barely played.
    This is not a surprise in the least bit.

    When they release a player from your team, that you didn’t even know was ON your team……

    Ok I was thinking of Brandon Williams who played for us in the season prior... Got my rookie Williams mixed up. Brandon Williams played on Minnesota summer league, I think he had some good games.

    Jeenathan Williams was a different player that only NBA games is 5 last year for us. Thought these were the same guy. I hardly watched any of those April tanking games last year.

    I’m sure Nate is looking for training camp deals over a g-league spot (if it was even on offer).

    He did have a few decent games, but I'm not sure calling him a "standout" is anything more than a positive spin on a signing. It's like when Neil would talk about how Mario Hezjona or Tony Snell or Anthony Tolliver didn't suck ass.

    Wouldn't call him a standout. He had a few good moments at the end of the season when we were tanking. Didn't do much during SL. Good luck to him in Houston.

    good job by the Blazers scouts. They found a new guard for the Rockets in the G-League.

    Jeenathan scored 10ppg on 61% FG in his 5 games with Portland. Though it's clearly a no brainer to keep plugging away with Keon's 37% FG player development. Stockpiling athletic undersized guards that can't defend bigger players is the wave of the future.
