    And of course Steph Curry is #34 also Damian Lillard is #49 on the "All Players" list so there can be no way Edwards at #47 could be a star.

    umm those would be mvp players. Not stars. three of the five in your list HAVE been an mvp!
    How many all stars are there? 24-30? A star isn't even an all star. So yes Ant is a star. You have your definition of star all mixed up with all star and mvp players.

    you can disagree all you want. You are still wrong…

    You dont have to. Keep it at all players. Ant is still a star. Someones smoking something they should be sharing…

    Dane obviously isn't a Star. But Steph just barely makes the list.

    Legit.

    the point was you seemed to be including Ayton and Simons in the assertion that Portland is "loaded with young talent". Those two aren't 'young' by NBA standards. The average age in the NBA last season was 26.03 years. Ayton is older than average; Ant will get there in 8 months. NBA middle age is not NBA younth

    by the way, I get the reach for extreme hyperbole, but it has drawbacks. Saying that Simon & Ayton are "infinitely" more valuable than any other pair of players seems meaningless. To start with, I'm not sure Simons or Ayton have any significant positive value. If they do, it's not much. I'm also not sure what you mean by "raw 19/20 year olds". A year ago, did Simons & Ayton have infinitely more value than the raw pairing of Victor Wembayana & Brandon Miller? Do they even have more value than Reed Shepard & Donovan Clingan?

    Guarantee you the Rockets would hang up laughing if Cronin offered Ant for Sheppard.

    During the Shawn Kemp era of the Blazers our players were loaded with pot and cocaine.

    The Rockets will be fun to watch this season. This losing WILL pay off for us!
