We are going to go winless in February. Possibly 0-4 to start March, which would give us a 16 game losing streak going back to the Bulls game on Jan. 30th. This could get rough.

Also.... Ant should be straight dominating this game. He's been mostly invisible.

Yeah. He should look like he doesn't belong on the court with these guys. He looks like he fits right in.
 
He’s definitely a trade asset in a package for the right player.

We need to get Johnny Davis in the draft to be the SG. Legit 6'5". Dropped 25 on Michigan State tonight.

Dude might get paid $20 mil per for one month of good play.

I mean, if he's this inconsistent the rest of the season they'll be major regret not selling high on him.

I really want him to succeed though. For our team. He could be such an important cog.

Nurk and Simons has to shoot better then they tonight.

I wonder if the rest of this season is going to be something of an audition for Nurk and Ant. I could see a scenario where the organization -- if it's trying to win -- watches how they perform and decides they really aren't worth the money to try to re-sign. I'll be honest, even though the common thinking is we cleared up money to keep Ant, we really don't have to be committed to him.

We literally have a player on our roster now named Winslow... I guess our FO has a sense of humor and at least wanted an accurate representation of how the rest of our foreseeable future will go.

Kanye talking to us directly "Too many Urkels on your team, that’s why your wins low."

We shouldn't.

Thing is, where do we go to get an SG in the off-season?

And it could be Ant wants a change of scenery, its his 4th year here.

Well, we do have two young SGs coming in in these trades if we keep them, and this draft and next draft are chok full of SGs where we figure to be picking. Plus, Blevins ....

Hey, if this is how he's going to approach it and he wants out, happy trails. I'm sure there are a lot of places he can ride the pine for three years before having to learn Mandarin.

One of these dudes will fall to us in the draft.

Shaedon Sharpe – 6-6 – Kentucky
Jaden Ivey – 6-4 – Purdue
Johnny Davis – 6-5 – Wisconsin

I would do this and I think they would too. Ant fits their timeline and he fills the need that they have because they have a ton of perimeter talent who do everything but score at the elite level Ant can.

I agree I don’t like him either but a lot here do and I have a feeling the Blazers do.

A lot here like him because of the Pacific Northwest bias. I have a feeling the Blazers scouts will have better sense.
 
Damnit Mac.... I like you but please miss shots kthx.
