Let deni to handel the offence he is agood passer and make the right play's,

[@pnwdevv]

Agreed. Scoot and Deni should be the 2 main ball handlers imo

[@modax0]

Scoot, Sharpe, and Simons will only enjoy having a 6'9 PG facilitating open 3pts. Deni doesn't care finishing with 25pt/2ast or 10pt/12ast as long as the team wins really.

[@pnwdevv]

@@modax0 Deni and Clingan both have selfless attitudes and will do whatever it takes to win. Super excited to watch them play

[@CeoOfBettt]

The best part to me is that Shaedon played better than what his stats showed, cause his stats only dropped when he played through the injury in December and January

They have insane amount of young talent. They remind me a bit of OKC young core, excluded SGA. I wonder if they are going to trade Simons and Grant and start a new direction like OKC.

[@pnwdevv]

100%! OKC is obviously insane. But if they trade Ant/ Grant sometime soon, and eventually Ayton IF Clingan pans out, plus whoever they draft next year.... could be fun times in PTown!

[@vladimirpejcinoski5248]

​@@pnwdevv As a Portland fan im against trading Anf. He just turned 25, elite 3point shooter and unfortunately atm the only shooter. He has to stay as he hasnt reached his full potential and market isnt providing a good return for his talent atm.. he had 2 game winners against Mikal bridges last 2 seasons, but so undervalued around the league at this stage. Grant Thybulle Timelord can be traded asap.. Portland can explore Ayton PF Clingan C lineup this season against teams like Minnesota Lakers Spurs. If its productive maybe Ayton can stay for longer on a much smaller contract of course.

[@kevinkouns7947]

I think Ant is massively undervalued by the Blazer fanbase. I hope the Blazers keep him. This roster needs shooting and Ant is one of the best young shooters in the league.

Deni Avdija is best as a point forward. he played PG at high-school. they've changed his role from SF to point forward after the TDL and his numbers went to 20ppg 6apg 8rpg at that part of the season. ending with 15 6 4 the all season. True shooting 60%.

In order for Blazers to succeed they need to prioritize Deni as the main guy. Will be very interesting to see what they do.

You're right, but Simons is at/ close to his ceiling rn. Great player, but if he potentially will take minutes or slow down the process of Scoot potentially reaching star potential, and a good trade is there for Simons, you gotta consider it

[@SplatterJacked]

It doesn't really matter what Simons does on offense when on defense he looks like he's standing on a Roomba robot vacuum.

[@pnwdevv]

idk if I agree to that extreme. However, I do think it's easy to find young guards who can score. And we know what Anfernee is, so I'd rather trade him when his value is high and pour into Scoot and Shaedon. Cause they have a chance to be a solid defensive duo

[@SplatterJacked]

Simons needs to move the ball around more. If they can trade him for further picks its good. SA will improve greatly this season

[@MarsATX]

id trade ant and grant for pick swaps in order to land flagg. id actually dump quite a lot for a clingon/ayton/flagg/sharpe/henderson starting 5.

[@caljo9684]

We need to move on from Ant. I’m probably traumatized from the Dame CJ era but if the plans running a 3 guard lineup with Ant, Scoot and Sharpe it’s not gonna go well

[@pnwdevv]

I agree. The idea of Scoot and Shaedon to me feels like it can work long term. And defensively which we never had with Dame and CJ

[@Mbrob]

I’ve been eyeballing Johnathan Kuminga for a while now and I would love to have another young athletic two way wing on the team . That’s if we move on from grant i hope

[@pnwdevv]

Kuminga would be sweet, but I doubt GSW parts with him for anything less than a super star

[@cosmo1eleven855]

Very bold statement. OkC and S. A. Might have a differing opinion. Shaedon Sharpe needs to show us consistency and durability.

@@pnwdevv yea i mean if anything we can bring him off the bench i just feel like he has so much more potential than just being a bench scorer

[@danmcclure548]

KEEP Simons! I’ve loved watching him develop. Crazy fun watching his creativity while attacking the rack. Who among us isn’t thrilled once he’s on a 3 ball heater? Is the team so guard rich that they won’t miss all of Ant’s contributions, even in this particular rebuild? I think not. Would not blame him for wanting to move on as he’ll be a very popular star just about anywhere else. Ant man is ready to explode somewhere. Why not here? Ultimately, our team should entertain and he brings that in spades.

[@cosmo1eleven855]

Can he improve on D ?

[@pnwdevv]

Only trade him if the right deal is available. He'd likely start over Scoot, and his development is more important longterm in my opinion

[@Himothy43]

Go blazers

[@baotran16]

Shaedon Sharpe could easily jump from the free throw line front foot and still dunk I bet. If you watch at 1:20 you could see him jump a foot infront but with so much air still.

[@pnwdevv]

I'm convinced he could dunk from half court 🤣

[@kenny__m]

I hope they trade Jerami Grant, and wait see how the back court of Ant,scoot and shae looks like

[@iiilllegallliii]

Lmao and like always with the blazers, it will materialize in to literally NOTHING.

[@seventyfive7597]

Well, they need more shooting, and Deni is the only one with court vision, so they need a couple of trades

[@pnwdevv]

I agree, but going into this season I think it would be fine if they didn't have much shooting. Gotta let the guys develop and maybe address big needs at the deadline

[@thuggwaffle8825]

Ant and Shaedon can shoot very well. And Scoots shot was coming around the second half of last season. I agree we need more consistent shooters but we have a few

Ants 25 and won't be getting much better though. If we want a championship we gotta find a STAR. Ant is good, but not our number 1. By the time we find out number 1, Ant will be to old and won't fit the timeline, so better to trade now when his value is high

[@MyMojoGo]

We have to get rid of Simons. It will never matter what he does on offense, when on defense he looks like he's standing on a Roomba vacuum, just there for wherever it takes him.

[@KOrnhOliO1]

Not our #1? Who takes the final shot to close a quarter or a game? Whose scored 40 points or hit 7 three's in a game? Who constantly makes lay ups off the board, at crazy angles, with a center 2" from blocking it, and it goes in? ANT IS A CLOSER! 😎🤘 No one on the Blazers makes drives to the hoop and actually gets the ball to drop? So many try for lay ups and fail to get it to drop...Not Ant! He gets those same crazy angled lay ups to drop just like his mentor Dame Lillard did! Ant is Lil' Lillard and the Blazers would be so0o fo0olish to trade him! Cronin said in his latest news conference that they are in "player acquisition mode", looking for the "ONE". The superstar every team needs. Ant is still only 25 and has only upside to come. He's soooo good at such a young age they'd be giving away a budding superstar if the Blazers traded him. Totally 💯% Stupid idea! Name a player that can do even half of the things Ant does for the Blazers right now? There is no player!

Not even close. Deni is the only consistently proven talent out of the group. Last years Rook was a complete bust and this years could be as well. Simon's is a shooter, when they go down it's a good thing, does it make the players around him better, it does not. When shots don't fall he does nothing good. Sharpe has no dribbling skills or is quick enough to beat his man off the dribble, can't stay healthy. Seems disinterested most of the time. Your completely out of touch with that headline.

[@hugoignacio9520]

I give Ant one more season to see if he can be a team player and a better defender, same for Ayton but he improve a lot by the end of last season so i have high hopes for him this season specially with Clingan pushing for the starter spot
