I actually think that if Shaedon isn't some sort of superstar and beats all of these other guys out, that it'll be Josh Hart starting at SF. I think that spending that money on GP2 kind of tells us that they think Hart will be getting his minutes at the 3. Obviously I think there will be a competition for minutes at that spot and for the huge minutes behind Ant at SG.

Are you suggesting Ant won’t average 20 in a full season? Is that your argument?

My argument is your comparing a list of players who accomplished something with their contract value to a player in Ant who has not.

It would make more sense to compare Ant to players of similar accomplishments, then see if his contract is a good value. Apples to apples.

I think starting Dame, Ant, Grant, and Nurk is a lock. Now, how do they handle that 5th starting spot, and 2nd unit rotation minutes is the question.

I'm guessing Winslow starts at SF, and Payton and Hart are the first two off the bench. Those two could conceivably cover every position from PG to PF.

I'd be shocked if Winslow or Little started over Hart.

Yep. Nas has to prove he can stay healthy and produce.

Last year's Per36:
- J Winslow: ppg 14.4, rpg 8.4, apg 3.9, drtg 114, PER 14.1
- N Little: ppg 13.6, rpg 7.8, apg 1.8, drtg 116, PER 13.5

Yes, Little is younger. But he's in his 4th year. No time for donation of minutes to develop him. I say put the player out there that gives the Blazers the most productive minutes.

Winslow is a career scrub. If he is the Blazers best option at starting SF this will be a shit year.
 
I don’t get why everyone is so upset.

simons = CJ but probably a better fit next to dame
Hart = norm …hart probably better fit
Grant = Roco but much better

Add GP2 = POA defender we haven’t had in years

I’m confused by all the hate

I don't hate everything that's happened. When Cronin was able to get Grant at that price I felt the CJ/Larry deal was a success especially considering the fit of Grant and Hart. The Norm/RoCo trade was highway robbery, whether they were great here or not. They're NBA rotational level players who will be productive on a contender next year and the contender didn't have to give up close to equal value but I don't know who to blame for that.

I do think that the roster we look like we're going into the season with is really great with one gaping hole at backup big. Other than that, it's the best team we've had with Dame. So that's good and I don't see anything that would keep us from getting that big if I'm right and we need him.

Agreed

everyone seems to think we’re done. There could be a decent back up big signing

This is a cool video by the Blazers media:

It's a nice video sure but it's like every dunk he ever did in the NBA. Some of them they had to use two and three times to get enough to make the video.
They even used a couple missed dunks that they cut away from.

Dude is soft to the core. SOFT soft.

Ant is only 23 years old and just got a new contract for 100 million. Whether he starts or comes off the bench he is going to play the same minutes. I doubt he cares right now.

i think most players care whether they start. I know I would regardless of the money

This roster is definitely a level below the one I was on up until I blew my Achilles.

It's not, in my opinion. That roster didn't have a bench. That roster didn't have the Dame that this roster will or anyone close to his talent level. Also LaMarcus was aloof and uninterested in Dame's ascension. So I think this is a better constructed roster with a better coach.
