Portland is in pretty good position to add someone decent. Still hoping for Crabbe. That would make it easier to start Trent as Crabbe could just replace him in the second unit. Gerald Green same thing.

Green is the only free agent I'm intrigued by to be honest. I'd like to see his athleticism paired with Nurk's playmaking.

once the lakers add a player (JR) Portland becomes the most attractive destination with an open spot, so if they want him and he’s healthy, they can and should make it happen.
 
I didn’t even know Jonathon Simmons was in the g league this year but his numbers were good, albeit in only 5 games. 19 ppg, 50% FG, 39% 3PT, 1.4 SPG. I’d probably put him the same tier as Shumpert, so not my first option but also wouldn’t mind.

He seems good at scrappy inside scoring. He won't get those opportunities in the Stotts offense.

actually he won't get those opportunities against an NBA defense in the paint

he’s already proved himself at the rim in the nba. Career efg percentage of 62% within ten feet.

well that's all fine but the video clip you posted didn't impress me ...looked like more of a cakewalk which is common in the G league
 
The Knicks just waived Allonzo Trier to make room to pick up the guy the Nets just waived:

"But Allonzo Trier needs to do more than end his love affair with his jump shot to further improve. On top of changing his shot selection, he needs to improve his defense. His DRPM is at a lowly -2.94, which ranks 483rd in the NBA among 494 qualified players.

But wait, there’s more! Per NBA.com, Trier ranks 272nd in defensive win shares, or DWS, with a mark of 0.060. For context, Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the league with a DWS of 0.178. This means Trier is lacking more in defensive skills than Gryffindor House is in Death Eaters."https://elitesportsny.com/2019/03/08/new-york-knicks-sg-allonzo-trier-must-prioritize-his-defense/
 


It’s pretty much down to the lakers and blazers, and there’s more than one guy that could help.
 
Always liked Simmons a little bit. He seemed to have some scrap to him.
 
Wonder what the lakers are waiting for, thought they were zeroed in on Smith.
 
What about this guy; doesn't shoot well from 3, but in last full year in NBA had 6.5 rebounds per 36, 1.8 steals and a block. Need defense in the playoffs.
"Several teams heading to Orlando for the NBA’s restart have expressed strong interest in signing Long Island Nets’ Justin Anderson, per SNY sources. Those playoff contenders highly value Anderson’s defense. Anderson was named to the third All-NBA G League team. "

They are waiting because they know Portland is behind them as the next best destination.

Interesting. He shot 36% from outside in the g league, on nearly 8 attempts a game. Played 31 games, so the sample size is also pretty decent. Worth a look, but only for depth as I wouldn’t play him over Nassir. Maybe throw in an option for next year to make it worthwhile. He’s still only 26.

Honestly just give me Crabbe or Gerald Green already.

Deciding between JR Smith and Nick Young
 
Guess who Justin Anderson’s agent is? Mark Bartelstein

Gerald Green has a nice shot. If he's open, and he likely would be with Dame & CJ on the floor, he'd be lethal.
 
I hate how with other teams you hear rumors and stuff about who they are going after or who they are interested in. Like the Lakers with JR and Nick Young. With the Blazers you hear nothing until it happens

with Trent most likely moving into the starting the lineup and Simons’ inconsistency, the second unit could use another reliable shooter. Crabbe and Green stand out, on paper at least.
 
Mbah would be great. Crabbe as well, he knows how to play with Dame/CJ. Gerald Green could work well too.

Hell I'm really happy with any of them... Trent isn't a proven option as a starter it just feels that way with some of the crap SF options we've had. One or two proven options would be great. I just hope we aren't passing on signing to save a couple bucks.
