The Blazers should TRADE Anfernee Simons and here's why

[@tyronnebiggums629]

I think a trade to look at would be maybe Simons for like a Cam Johnson

[@dominicvl1990]

I would love this trade. Can black play the wing though?

[@danielmortenson6467]

The 26 Magic pick 2nd worst of Washington Orlando and Phoenix. As a Magic Fan that pick might be Juicy

[@jamesdonaldson7396]

I like the Orlando trade, but like you said, this is only possible if the Magic strike out with a free-agent signing.

[@dominicvl1990]

Who could they sign that offers what ant does?

[@RWor1d]

It’s always funny to watch different teams’ podcasts. Because thinking Anfernee is worth 2 good firsts and Anthony black is crazy 😂😭

[@vincentrose577]

denvers first will be 26-30 and orlando’s will be 20-25 and anthony black ain’t all that

[@FromTheLogo]

Denver’s first and Orlando’s first if they are good are “2 good firsts?” They will both be late first rounders. Anfrenee Simons would fit Orlando’s needs perfectly. He’s a lights out shooter and scorer and would be awesome next to Suggs.

[@vincentrose577]

@@FromTheLogo ant fit in orlando is great. i’d rather it be the magic’s own pick next year instead of denver because it will be a higher pick. if a late frp is good what is a mid table pick. all i was trying to say is this isn’t an overpay for the magic

[@craigmedley-op8kd]

could trade simons to denver. nuggets lost caldwell pope and need a sharpe shooter. Though I dont want anything they have

[@metal--babble346]

no trades. The Blazers are easily bad enough to compete for another magical ping pong ball next summer.

[@jamesdonaldson7396]

if they sit their veterans for half the season again. Chauncey is going to play veterans as much as possible, development of youth be damned, because he wants to win and redeem his pitiful record. The front office needs to remove that temptation from his control so they don't end up sitting Simons, Grant, and whoever else is left yet again.

[@metal--babble346]

Chauncey's "guys" give up playing hard after about 40 games. Except for Ayton. He made the quitters look bad by playing out the entire season. If Cronin was smart, he would trade Ayton before his "quitters anonymous" team developes chemistry issues

[@vladimirpejcinoski5248]

all terrible trades. Anf isnt going anywhere, he is just a year younger than Murray who we drafted last year. Still hasnt reached his prime yet. those 2 2nds are in the 20s and not good at all. Portland should trade Brogdon, Thybulle Timelord and Grant 1st so we complete the rebuild. if Anf meant to be traded, should have been done while Dame was in Portland and keep Hart. Potentially could have get Isaac and some 1st.

[@crazekananas]

Grant, Brogdon, Thybulle, and Williams have literally ZERO trade value. Ant has value, yes he's young, but he clearly is not part of our rebuilding core.

[@TheSadistNat1on]

yeah this guys stink. what u said is what we need to do. blazers uprise channel ftw too ha

[@TheSadistNat1on]

nah. wedont need to trade anf, at least right now. we need to trade grant, brogdon, rw3 prolly, matisse. thats enough moves we have to make. u guys should brush up on ur knowledge and head over to blazers uprise for that

[@vincentrose577]

yes if we traded all those guys we wouldn’t need to deal ant but i could genuinely see them trading ant before jerami just because as time goes on his contract won’t look as bad compared to all the new crazy deals

[@TheCriminalViolin]

I personally have wanted to see Ant gone two seasons ago. Each year, he's needed to go more and more. Now especially he HAS to go. Too expensive, not on the timeline, is stuck where he's been for the last couple seasons with no real improvements anywhere in his game, he's a bad playmaker, even in a pinch, undersize extremely streaky shooter who plays exclusively heroball/isoball, forces a lot of shots, incapable and incompetent defensively bundled with his lack of effort and giving a damn on that end, and of course he is a horrible leader given he is borderline non-vocal, meaning he has to be a leader by example, which he's somehow even worse as. The example he sets game in and game out is horrific for young guys to model after and follow. Constant complaining, pouting, little or no effort defensively, temper tantrums, sitting or laying down on the floor as if he got clobbered by a truck when it was normal, minimal basketball contact (which he does specifically when he doesn't get calls he wants on the offensive end), where he proceeds to just stay there for a entire defensive possession at a time, etc. Everything about him on this team is horrible as a fit. So yeah... he's gotta go. And this shows there are some Blazers fans who defy the usual, and "underrate" Ant. Almost all Blazers fans egregiously overrate and overvalue him, like they did with CJ. So much so that almost universally people who point these facts out about him are automatically hated on for it because we're "so incredibly wrong and clearly don't know basketball". That's the thing with this fan base - it's a dead split down the middle these days between what I'd call delusional fans, and realistic fans, obviously with the latter including people like myself. Feels so much like it's a second Lakers fan base these days, and it sucks.

[@kirkroyse4705]

I would do this first trade in a heartbeat the second trade is ok I am not doing the last trade we can simply draft a backup center with number 14 and Philly going to sign Paul George so that pick worthless..

[@JonahPedersen-tz3uk]

Simons is not a mentor and can’t play with either Scoot or Sharpe. He needs to go.

[@TheSadistNat1on]

u literally dont know that, no one does. they didnt get to play together at all. u have no idea what ur saying ha

[@JonahPedersen-tz3uk]

Yes I do. Simons isn’t a pg. Period. He needs to play next to a good pg and be flanked by quality defensive players at 1 and 3 so his garbage d can be hidden.
