    Grant and Siakam can work if JG's shooting is for real

    absolutely if Siakam was available for Ant you have to make the move. OG is a much closer call....probably not; but I have never really been tuned into all the hype for OG

    Yes, I absolutely do that. OG is a DPOY candidate this year, and Siakam is a superstar.

    I wonder....

    " The problem is that I don't think Tatum and Brown would work. Too similar."...?

    " The problem is that I don't think Jordan and Pippen would work. Too similar."...?

    " The problem is that I don't think Kawhi and PG13 would work. Too similar."....?

    If you move Ant for OG and maybe Otto Porter Jr, that would open up the team quite a bit.

    Dame
    Hart
    OG
    Grant
    Nurk

    GP2
    Sharpe
    Porter Jr
    Winslow
    Eubanks

    Hmmmmmm you listed six guys who are quick wings. I think Tatum is the only one who can play power forward. Grant and Siakam are both power forwards.

    Grant has basically played SF for us this season. Or the role of a SF.

    Grant can play 3. I would love to see the Blazers give it a shot

    Anyone can "play" any position..... but Grant is getting cooked on defense when he goes up against quicker players. That wouldn't change with Siakam. Our defense is fucking terrible man.

    But if you put OG in the lineup with Hart, Grant, Dame, and Nurk........ I have to think our defense would improve drastically.

    I don’t ever look at the stats, but Hart’s numbers are similar to CJ’s?

    Too many numbers bro. Their coaches LOVE CJ and what he brings to the team. He can get a bucket when they need it. They are extremely happy compared to what they gave up for him.

    Pretty much. Same efficiency, cj scores 5 more points a game, hart is better at defense and rebounding. Yes, this year, cj is playing like a nice role player at best.

    actually, CJ scores 7.3 more points; but he needs 9.5 more shots to score those 7.3 more points. Per 100 possessions, CJ scores 10.3 more points on 13.1 more shots. Hart has scored 223 points on 171 shots; CJ has scored 356 points on 354 shots. CJ has averaged 1.03 points/shot; Hart has averaged 1.31

    CJ is better at assists, but then he has twice the usage rate as Hart and 50% more touches. Hart is better at most everything else like defense, rebounding, and hustle

    salary: CJ 33.3M....Hart 12.9M

    yeah, give me Hart & Grant over CJ & Nance, 8 days a week, 11 times out of 10

    The Pels are very pleased with CJ as their 3rd option.

    a 3rd option leads the team in FG attempts while being last on the team in efficiency?

    This one seems to and it’s working. Put your hate for this player to the side and acknowledge its working kid.
