Simons to have surgery on thumb, out 4-6 weeks

[BlazerBeav]

Shoot me.

 

[julius]

well. there goes their chances at the playoffs.

 

[Chris Craig]

One game. This team is cursed to hell

 

[Chris Craig]

well. there goes their chances at the playoffs.

Lol

I see what you did there.

 

[Strenuus]

Come back as the 6th man, pleeeease.

Maybe it should read 4-6th man instead of 4-6 weeks. #willingintoexistence

 

[BigGameDamian]

Might be a blessing in disguise.

 

[andalusian]

This might be the basketball gods forcing Chauncey to commit to the future.

Get better ant

 

[Strenuus]

We gonna score 100 in any of our games the next month and a half? It's sad that that's an honest question lol

Shaedon bout to set some records

 

[Whyachi]

Anfernee is not out for the season. He'll be back in December?? If the Blazers keep extending Ant's recovery to multiple 2 week sessions... then yes, this team is cursed.

 

[andalusian]

The blazers with a brilliant early season tank job

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I blame Lillard.

 

[PDXFonz]

Might be a blessing in disguise.

I agree with the BGDBot

 

[Charcoal Filtered]

For those of us that am tired of an undersized two, this is not the end of the world. Hope for a speedy recovery and interested to see how this changes our defense.

 

[LayneStaley]

Joe is tanking earlier than last year. Nice.

We have a defense?

 

[sheed30]

That sucks, but those wanting to see the Scoot-Sharpe starting backcourt will get their wish, and now Brogdon gets more run and should up his value should we decide to trade him

Blazers shot better then the Timberwolves did in their opening game. Minnesota couldn't hit the side of a barn. Portland shouldn't have an issue getting fans free chicken nuggets if you buy something else that's gross from McDonald's.

 

[Driew]

Well this sucks for my fantasy team lol

 

[Idog1976]

Well, I hope Simons makes a full recovery. I swear to god if Billups starts Brogdon and Thybulle, or Thybulle and Camara over Sharpe I am going to lose my mind.

We have GOT to start Sharpe and I would say move Thybulle to the 3, or better yet start Camara.

PG:Scoot
SG:Sharpe
SF: Camara
PF: Grant (ugh please let us trade him)
C: Ayton

That should be the starting lineup, although I will accept Thybulle instead of Camara.

Silver lining, Scoot and Shaedon start together, build chemistry, and we get a look at what that looks like for the future.

and just as importantly we give Brodgon some more run in the next 4-6 weeks to up his value should Joe look to trade him before the deadline for a team in need

 

[Idog1976]

and just as importantly we give Brodgon some more run OFF THE BENCH in the next 4-6 weeks to up his value should Joe look to trade him before the deadline for a team in need

Fixed it for ya!

Yes, spotted about as often as Sassquatch.

I hope not. I've really come around on Brogdon as a significant part of this team and of Scoot's development. I think whatever assets he might bring in trade are less valuable than what he can do to bring our prized rookie along.

 

[sheed30]

Fixed it for ya!

yes def off the bench....still more run the better for his value.

Im not in the camp of trading Simons on here but he is hurt now and it is what it is and time to look at the positives. Sharpe starting, Brodgon upping his value...

 

[B-Roy]

The basketball gods demand Scoot/Shae backcourt.

I'd be mad at this but without expectations on this team I feel pretty unaffected.

 

[julius]

I blame Lillard.

And Lillard just tweeted saying he blamed Joe Cronin.

 

[sheed30]

I hope not. I've really come around on Brogdon as a significant part of this team and of Scoot's development. I think whatever assets he might bring in trade are less valuable than what he can do to bring our prized rookie along.

I'm not against keeping him either. Just looking at the positives in general with Simons out. Brogdon could be like Mo Williams and Earl Watson was to Dame to start his career.

Brogdon could still stay with us the whole year and get traded in the offseason while upping his value with the extra run, and giving knowledge to Scoot for one season.

Exactly. We do not need more draft capital. We need to develop what we have.
