    barring any trades?

    Ant/Deni/Grant/Ayton.

    Does CB try Scoot at the pg and slide Ant over?
    Does he start SS in the SG spot?
    Does he start Camara at the 3 spot and let Deni run pg with Ant off ball?


    But yeah i think Ant/JG/Dominayton/Deni the savior
    All start.

    I think Sharpe is an absolute lock to start if healthy.

    I hope you are right, but i could see them trying to start Scoot and Ant again and i don't think Ss should play the three. We've been through that small lineup for years.

    We need to trade Ant or talk him into coming off the bench and being a main scorer to rack up stats, to then trade at the deadline.

    Scoot need to prove he can at least play at the level of an average NBA player before Ant would need to consider taking a back seat.

    Yes. Even if he doesn't deserve it. We need him to show out.

    I been out of loop mostly the last two years on here due I couldn't watch majority of the games due to the TV deal they had but it's seems this new TV deal going allowed me to tune into there games down in Southern Oregon.

    hey guys, i know the bumping of zombie threads is near trolling but the one chasing the number one seed might be legit to bump and keep open?
    With so many wanting to tank again this year to play capture the flagg, seems chasing that #1 is a legit thread to bump and continue discussion in?
    Just a thought. :)

    Easier said then done but all he really needs is a reliable jumper for him to level up. I'm hoping to see improved D from him, but a decent outside threat would open things up for him.

    Not picking on your post specifically.
    I find this one of the hardest things to stomach at this point. We now have a PG that we are hoping gets a passable jumper and can maybe play some defense. We used the #3 pick to get him which we could have used to trade for a player that could have kept one of the best shooters the game has ever seen who actually played better defense than Scoot does.
    This kid has some huge shoes to fill. Yes it's gonna take time and honestly Lillard was a 4 year college player so there is time before comparing is fair.

    Just venting a bit. Rant over.

    It's the Camby thread that was cool to read. multiple posts about not wanting him and more that had him as a good thing to have in case they need a backup plan. Prophetic in so many ways!

    are these weights correct?
    Scoot lost some weight. I like that (196)
    Simons continues to add a couple of lbs. I like that. (195)
    Deni up to 240? Not sure how I feel about that. That is a big jump.
