It really shouldn't be a quieter off season for blazers. Actually the story lines that have to shake out with everything is super intriguing

[@adriantrentadue6117]

Great show. I have a few thoughts. 1.Dame is now on a super team with 3 other Allstars and the glaring weakness of that team is highlighted every night by his defensive woes. 2. This applys to Ant. He has had ample time to bring it on defense and its not happening. He is who he is. Ant should go and Brogdon stays. Delano is 4th guy. Thybulle is out. Camara is the cheaper replacement. Walker is solidifying himself as a genuine role player.

No mention of the Grant situation is weird

[@CarloBarlo69]

Simons is still so underrated. There’s a very real chance that Simons becomes better than Scoot Henderson could be.

[@GameTheoryPodcastwSamVecenie]

Totally, 100% agree with this. But the Blazers need to make a call on him sooner rather than later, which makes the timing tough.

[@CarloBarlo69]

@@GameTheoryPodcastwSamVecenie I’d like to suggest that letting Anfernee play all of next year, healthy, and with the same roster gives him a chance to really break out even further. The flashes this year were all star level. This gives Portland a chance to make the decision in terms of which direction they want to go while Anfernee’s value is sky high. They either sell and get a larger haul than they would now, or build around him if he does reach that next level.

[@TheSadistNat1on]

Right u can also see how they play together. Blazers need to 1-3 scoot Simons n Sharpe on the court together, and u can since u ain't winning right now. See how it goes and if it works or not ​@@CarloBarlo69
