Again, obv holding out to maximize their trade value. We only got him because dame wanted him, we signed him to retain the assets value.

So it'll be like how we maximized Whiteside, Even Turner, and Meyers Leonard trade values? Great plan.

Maybe we can get a 2nd round pick, you know like the two we sold for cash a few months ago
 
I can’t believe we have twice as many wins as Philly. One more than Milwaukee. One less than New York. Should just not be real.
 
that court...I can't decide if I liked it or hated it. Looked like the whole game was played out of bounds

* in 48 hours, Blazers played their worst game, and best game of the season. And yes, I sure noticed that the Blazers played their worst game when my two least favorite players were out there; and the best game when they weren't

* Blazers are a dominant team when they are shooting 60% from three and Timelord is roaming. Deni having his first good game of the season was a big help

* I know Grant had 8 assists, but it still seemed like he went ISO way too much

* on that steal and layup by Sharpe, was I the only one who noticed he effortlessly flew about 15 feet thru the air and changed his shot posture 3 times?

* Banton can look great 3 times and terrible 3 times, and do it on all on two straight possessions

* it's his 3rd season so I'd like to see Sharpe defer less and drift less on offense....and assert himself more
 
Seems like Ant is fine. Will probably play tomorrow.

i think one reason the offense works better with Simons and Ayton out is because Chauncey has not built an offense that makes good use of their skills. I think some posters are right that his system is just chaos and young athletic guys who play defense will be a lot more effective doing that. One problem with this is that he is actually driving Ayton and Simons trade value down.

Agree on that point, however Grant should also get credit for playing solid defense, and making 9 of 10 free throws.

Grant's ISOs can actually be a good thing if he is single-teamed and can score at the hoop easily, or if he is double-teamed and pass to an open teammate.

Grant's ISOs get ugly when he dribbles into more than one player and throws up a prayer or turns it over.

By the way, I think I saw Jerami throw a behind-the-back pass to a teammate that was on-target. That was nice.

I know the notion that players playing well drives up trade value; and the inverse playing poorly deflates their value. I think that may be true for young players especially. But I'm really skeptical it's true for 7th year veterans like Simons and Ayton. I think the NBA knows very well what kind of players they are and what they are not. A shooting slump to start a season won't change that. Both of these guys have major flaws and they haven't corrected those flaws in 6 NBA season. I don't believe any team would pay much for either of these guys. Ayton is the opposite of what most teams want in a C; and Simons is the opposite of what most teams want in a wing, and possesses remedial PG skills

What's most remarkable about that stat is that he's the first player since, as everyone would have guessed, JAMES WORTHY of all players. Mr Defense himself.

Also , it should be Team-High TIED with Shaedon Sharpe and Scoot Henderson for 3 steals.
 
I’m really liking Toumani, what do ya think is his ceiling? Chauncey was raving the hell out of him after the game saying he’s barley scratching the surface..

Is his ceiling like a high level role player for a contender? Or can he be a star player?
 
Might as well play to win for the In-season tournament. I mean that was the intention of creating it. Gives us something to watch before march.
Even getting to the playoff portion gives the players a bonus. So trying to win a couple games probably won't hurt.
