Are we SURE that adding the massive haul from what we would get from Dame to add to this group, wouldn't be best in the long run? I'm not sure either way, but this team is making me question that more and more. I just don't see Ant being as good when playing behind Lillard.
I think we snag Grant with the late lotto pick and see how things play with Dame. If he doesn’t gel or the ball movement that’s happening now stops a Jaylen Brown package could be exactly what we need. Grant will be good either way.
 
A few years from now this could be a seamless baton passing like the Mavs had with Dirk to Luca
 
If we had traded CJ in the summer, we would be undefeated for the season.

But....CJ is our starting SG right now. Why would we have traded him this past summer? Heck, then we'd still have that other CJ
 
the more I watch Simons, the less I'm thinking, like I recently did, that Dame/Ant will be a reboot of all the issues with Dame/CJ. I think the addition of Hsrt is big in this equation; and so is Billups

I'm actually looking forward to seeing if the Blazers can make it work
 
For those who feel conflicted about this beautiful basketball being played and the prospect of getting a pick in this draft I would say, don't. If the Pelicans pick conveys to us and our pick conveys to the Bulls, we'll have one pick to either use or deal on draft night and all of our future picks that we can try to improve the team with as well. At this point we have to be pulling for the playoffs because we're only the tenth pick and I'd rather have all of our future firsts freed up than the tenth pick.

Welcome to the bandwagon. Ant plus Lillard is going to be absolute Plasma if they both can just play average defense.
