We won't be competing for playoff wins if we keep Ant. Him being here will hinder the development of the rest of the team and prevent us from getting better talent with higher draft picks.

He's not good enough to fit with his team at his age and level of experience in the NBA. Nobody makes the kind of jump in year seven that we expect Scoot and Sharpe to make in the next couple years.
Lol bro, you are surely a number one Ant hater, so much you don’t make any sense

Lmao, you clearly are blinding by your Ant hate.

Another week, another week of your rambling about you hate for Ant lol.
 
If you can't see the difference in potential between Simons and Scoot/Sharpe then you just don't want to.

That's fine.
If you can’t see like everyone else your hate for Ant and just pulling stupid statements out your ass then I don’t know what to tell you.

I saw your talking about defense. And how you are willing to give people 5 to 6 years to be a good defender clearly shows you have no clue what you’re talking about.

defense is mainly 90% hustle and heart, and the other 10% is if you are gifted to be long and lanky..

look at Draymond Green as a example. That’s all heart and hustle while being undersized.

Now, you don’t make sense since Sharpe and Scoot hasn’t yet show to be a good defender you think they can become a good one? GTFO, your logic makes zero sense

look at Camera, he is a dog in there and busts his ass and knows how to play a role.


You just try to spin it to make Ant look bad yet make excuses for others, it’s so silly I don’t know when you will stop with your Ant hate
 
Lol bro, you are surely a number one Ant hater, so much you don’t make any sense
So you expect a huge jump in year 7 from Simons? Enough to make us a competitor with this roster?

Otherwise I don't see what you have to disagree with in my post. Or what makes me some kind of "hater".

I have nothing against Simons. He's just not good enough to get us where I want to go, and his value is likely as high as it ever will be. I would expect his value to drop if Portland is a losing team for the next 2 years. Which is exactly what we need to be. For at least 2 years.

This whole post is garbage. I give guys 5 or 6 years but somehow I'm a hater for wanting to give Sharpe and Scoot 5 or 6 years?

Be better.

If one isn’t going to be a good defender from the jump, demonstrated by their heart and grit, and pride to not let anyone score of them, they ain’t going to magically develop it in year 2,3,5.6.

that’s complete nonsense and your trying to make a point when in hindsight you are looking silly. You didn’t address defense being mainly heart, grit and pride.

and if we talking about that, Sharpe is the complete opposite lmao. Dude is laid back, chill and at times lacks fires in there. Billups has had to get on him many times about being lackadaisical. You think with that mentality Sharpe can be a good defender?

what about Camara? A rookie who came in and was probably one of, if not our best defender and that’s because he has a dog in him, it’s nothing more than that.

your in for a rude awakening and need to chill on your criticism of Ant while giving others a pass because they haven’t been in the league long enough is the most silliest things you have said and shows your Ant hate and tunnel vision more than anything.

Other than Any might take some mins from Scoot and Scoot should play as many mins as possible is the only logic argument you have said about getting rid of Ant.

Everything else seems laughable to me when the same thing that applies to Ant doesn’t apply to others.

He can become more effective, yes mainly due to who is around him. Why was he more effective last season with Dame next to him then he was on this team? Lack of talent around him, the best player means he had to much on his shoulders, ineffective players offensively around him.

Now lets talk about Sharpe, since you're always talking about Ant. Why did Sharpe stats and ineffective get a lot worse last year? Explain why! Did he regress as a player and not improve, or did he have more responsibility on this shoulders, more defense geared towards stopping him?

Lets see how you can spin this one.

Sharpe first year stats.
10PPG - 2pt % 47.2 3pt %- 36.0

Last year :

16ppg. 2pt % - 40.6 -3pt% 33.3

Those are horrible stats man, his FG and 3pt dropped badly and those are below normal for a avenge NBA player.

Explain why he regressed? or did he?

Dame makes everybody better.

Sharpe was a 2nd year player who had some injuries. And he had to play with Simons a lot of the time he played. And Simons tends to subtract from his teammates rather than make them better.

A lot of Sharpe's opportunities were because Grant or Simons were hogging the ball and putting their teammates in bad situations.

Scoot also didn't play well with Simons. Neither did Ayton...

So, for example, De'Aaron Fox, who was 11th leaguewide amongst PG's in DBPM last year, was good from the jump? He wasn't in the bottom 15 of all qualified NBA players in DBPM as a rookie?

The premise that someone must be decent defensively at age 19 to ever be serviceable is completely unsupportable.

Here is how I know now your just spiting out stuff without even knowing facts, just to try and make a point that doesn't make sense and hate on Ant.

You said he had to play with Simons a lot of the time he played last season...Do you know how many games Sharpe actually played with Ant last season? Because I do, and this statement clearly shows you don't lol.

lol, who the heck uses DBPM to make a point. and no he is not that good of a defender one on one or in the post....he is good at getting steals to inflate those dumb DBPM stats......

Here is some scoops on your DBPM stats. Guys who are not impactful on this side but their boxscore is impressive always are favored (like Drummond)

Boogie was 5th in the league in DBPM at one point some years ago...

The big knock on DBPM is it's a box score stat. You can defend a player amazingly, force a shot clock violation or a terrible shot, and receive no credit. Or you can defend a player like shit, slap a loose hand out there and get lucky, and walk away with a huge boost to your DBPM.


Next.....

I definitely meant to say Simons and Grant. I included Grant in the next paragraph.

Once again, when you have "me first" players hogging the ball everybody else gets worse looks.

True, but neither are "me first" players. Saying it over and over will not make it so.
Grant shot a lot when on bad teams. He did not shoot a lot when he was on good teams. Can you not see how that correlates?

If either is shooting too much that is because the coach is asking them too. I remember when BRoy was uneasy about how many shots he was taking. He kept asking his teammates and the coaches if he was. They said to keep shooting. Was BRoy a "me first"
player? Maybe for some, he was, but they would be wrong too.

lol, what a nice way to backtrack.....and secondly, your following statement makes no sense, 'And Simons tends to subtract from his teammates rather than make them better'. He only played 13 games with Sharpe last season.

And to further your other silly comments, you said you mentioned Grant, well then explain why Sharpe stats were better last season when he played with Grant just as much? It doesn't make sense...Stop pulling your eyes over certain guys on our team and their huge faults, mainly Scoot and Sharpe while hating on Ant without making sense most the time.

Bro, you have clearly been exposed here as someone who is just tunnel vision and will pull out anything to try to slam home a point, all in the end while not making any sense.

Grant also subtracts from the efficiency of his teammates.

I understand you have a hardon for me, and I appreciate it, I really do. But you aren't doing yourself any favors.

Lol, you sound more and more delusional at this point.

Nice try, nope it's not you doing yourself any favors posting 24/7 on this board every week about the same silliness, while making little to no sense.

The ones with the biggest mouths make the least bit of sense most the time, and that fits you to a T.

Shows how much you don't actually know in general, but as I said last week, I'm sure reading through these threads I'll come across another one of your pointless hating comments.

I'm hating on him because I said he's bad at defense? Or that Scoot and Sharp tend to play less well with him on the court?

Are these statements false? They seem to be pretty universally accepted as true statements.

I've never said one negative thing about Simons that was untrue. I have no feeling about him one way or the other. He's just shown enough that he's not worth building around. And I don't believe that he'll be interested in coming off the bench. In fact, I don't think it would be in the Blazer's best interest to have him coming off the bench.

We'd be far better off trading him for the best draft capital we can get.
