Scoot - Holiday
Sharpe - Rupert
Tou - Thy - Banton
Deni - Murray - Walker
Clingan - RobWill - Yang

DNP-different team: Grant, DA
 
I'd probably do this:

Jrue Scoot
Sharpe Banton Rupert
Camara Thybulle Murray
Deni Grant Jabari
Clingan Timelord Yang Duop... Ayton

If no muves I think Chauncey will do this rostation: Jrue, Tou, Jerami, Deni, Ayton, Shaedon, Scoot, Rob unitl he gets hurt then Clingan, Tisse, Ysng

If Joe can pull off the moves he's rumored to be trying then it's: Jrue, Tou Jerami, Deni, Clingan, Shaedon, Scoot, Yang, Tisse.

I would love Chauncey to prove me wrong and start Shaedon and maybe Shae will pop over the summer and Chauncey will play him because he's the best guy to play. However if Shaedon is just the guy with the most potential, who needs to play to access that potential, Chauncey has shown he will not start him.

With what they've said about him they really should but if Deandre is on the team or a healthy Time Lord, I don't think Yang or Clingan will be starting.

Hoping Joe makes some trades and we don't have to worry about that.
 
Ayton/Clingan/RobWill/MMMBop
Grant/Murray
Camara/Sharpe/Thybulle
Deni/Sharpe/Thybulle
Jrue/Scoot
 
I like the poster with trade ideas of sending out Ayton and getting Kuminga in a sign and trade.

Now salary cap would be a bit nuts if we held Jrue/Grant too.... But if Blazers are really doing a push to win next season while keeping future picks this is probably the best they can do;

Jrue Scoot
Sharpe Thybulle
Camara Kuminga
Deni Grant
Clingan Timelord Yang

Have to say I love the depth and defense of that rotation.
 
Murray is unplayable.
Predict:

Jrue/Scoot/Banton
Deni/Shae/Banton
Tou/Matisse/Rupert
Grant/Walker/
Ayton/DC

I would be fine dealing any of those players that were lotto picks. Any/all. It's clear they were busts and/or low ceilings.

It's clear that Shaedon is a bust or has a low ceiling?!? Seriously, you're obviously in a tailspin of negativity but let's not get carried away. Shaedon has shown improvements and if he can get consistent then his ceiling is still very very high. Scoot has also shown big time improvements.

In my opinion the front office has fucked these two over by never giving them a clear runway. If Shaedon is given 30+ minutes per game and the green light that every time he's on the floor he's the primary scorer then we'll see a big jump from him. We still should be looking at Scoot's ability to lead the team and I hope that after trading for Jrue that the team helped him understand what that means for Scoot and that it's in some way positive.

We could trade either of them but if it's not for a haul, I would bet we would come to hate those trades.

I know I am being too negative. You are right. Thanks for calling me out tbh.

How can you guys do these threads when we don’t know the final roster.

Yeah, I made a post and said if we see no other significant moves but you're right. We should give it at least until training camp. Two years ago it took until September 27th for everything we were to completely change. So again, we should give it time.
 
Like many have said, very hard to do a projected rotation without knowing the final roster. But I’ll name the lineups I’m interested in seeing in stints.

- Holiday / Shae / Avdija / Camara / Hansen
I could see Shae getting an easy 3-5 buckets off cuts playing with Hansen. I still believe Shae will be a 30+ppg guy eventually, he needs to be able to get a few easy baskets. Between Holiday and Avdija, there are still two very good ball handlers on the court, and three very good defenders to make up for Shae and Hansen’s shortcomings on the other end.

- Scoot / Shae / Camara / Avdija / Clingan
What I hope our season’s ending starting lineup will be. Clingan’s screen-setting in particular will be important when Scoot is on the floor. Hansen seems to set a screen to slip and expect the ball back to make the next decision every time. He will eventually need to learn to set screens like Clingan and ensure his man is free to make the next read.

- Holiday / Avdija / Camara / Hansen / Clingan
This is more about position-less basketball and experimenting to see what we look like with Avdija as the first option. I would try this lineup against teams like Cleveland, SA, Dallas—I’m sure there are a few more.

All three are hard to see too much time of because Grant and DA are still on the team. I’m not really interested in what the rotation is with them included.

People hammered the same point last year and we had zero changes after the Clingan pick.

Sure Blazers might have another move. Guess what, people can have a new opinion then!

I don't get these people that seem to think a projection is tattooed on their forehead forever.

Or you know, have one opinion today, and can update it later?

Nobody is saying the Blazers roster will be static for years. It's pretty easy to type a few sentences on it today. When something changes type a few new sentences.
 
Not what i want, what i think will be:

Jrue/Scoot
Shae/Banton/Manaya
Camara/Deni/Rupert
Grant/Murray/Walker
Ayton/Clingan/Rw3/Yang


What I want:

scoot/Jrue
Shae/Banton/Rupert
Camara/Murray/Grant
Deni/Grant/Murray/Walker
Clingan/Ayton/Yang/Reath

After picking up the team option for Rupert, by my count, the Blazers have two potential roster spots open:
- J Walker is a restricted FA
- D Reath has a team option not yet picked up.

The Blazers also have 2 2-way contracts open after the signing of C Love.
