    Lillard even though his stats in the 2nd half of this season were the worst on the team.

    Everybody's picking Keon Johnson. How much of that is sunk costs and hope that we got SOMETHING from the Clippers?

    No, I don’t want no scrub. A scrub is a guy who can’t get no love from me. Maybe Jay Scrubb.

    In order of preference -

    Johnson
    Williams (TW)
    Didi
    Dunn
    Hughes

    I think Dunn & Hughes are gone regardless. Johnson & Williams will stay. Didi is the one I question. Did he show enough for Portland to keep him around?

    I guess it has nothing to do with the trade. He just has more potential than the other guys. He'll be 20 years old for most of next season, younger than some 2022 draftees like Jaden Ivey.

    Elijah Hughes because he has some size at 6’5” but mostly because he’s from Poughkeepsie, and I like saying Poughkeepsie.

    In all seriousness though, none of the players listed have shown that they belong on an NBA roster (or at least part of an NBA teams rotation) anytime soon.

    You put Keon Johnson on this but don't put the NBAs biggest scrub Keljin Blevins on there?

    You know what? At this point just keep them all, let Simons/Nurk/Hart walk as FA, give Cronin a long-term deal, and just say fuck it!

    Of the guys you mentioned only Dunn has played long enough to be considered a scrub. The rest are prospects and while none of them look like superstars the one that seems to have the best chance to be a player that could get rotation minutes on a contending team in the pretty distant future is Keon.

    Looks to me like Johnson is just a shorter Thomas Robinson - a tools goof who has never actually learned how to play and likely never will.
