Now that the deadline has ended, we know Josh Hart and GPII are out. Who is in, which draft picks did we obtain and what will be our rotation moving forward? Trying to see bigger picture here.
 
we now have a boat load of 6'5"-6'8: guys, mostly on slight side and we got no big at the deadline -WTF? I guess we use rest of season to see who are the keepers
 
maybe they are tanking? Sort of a tanking roster. Just don't overplay Dame.
 
Dame/Ant/Johnson/ Arcidiacono
Ant/ Thybulle
Sharpe/Little/Reddish
Grant/Winslow/Watford/Walker/Knox
Nurkic/Eubanks/Butler/Badji
 
Dame
Ant
Shae
Grant
Nurk

(is next season's roster too)

Also Aridiacono will be cut - and possibly Knox.

I don't think they are cutting Archi. We're at 15 and Jody has no incentive to cut someone and pay more for another player.

Nurkic is already wearing his shiny silver tiger suit with a blown calf muscle. Our Center is ready for the Tank. When will the other starters call it a season?

Yeah thats what I'm curious to see; trading away a starter and key reserve for scrubs its clear the Blazers don't care about winning this year. When do we see Blazers other starters resting or having DNPs?

With GB3 waived it kinda made it official.

Hey @BlazerBender--you were predicting that Sharpe would be starting at the 3 before season's end. You think that begins now?

Chauncey has already said he's starting Nas. I think there's a battle of wills between him and Cronin. Cronin's trying to FORCE him to start Sharpe and Chauncey is just stubbornly refusing (in the same way that he refuses to play Jabari).

I missed that. Glad to hear it, honestly--that's who I'd want to start given our current roster.

It's not going to help our rebounding ever since Nas mutated from short Amare to short Channing Frye.

Sharpe already is a good rebounder.
 
Here's how I see it -

That's one lopsided small roster. No true C backup (although I love Eubank's heart). A ton of wings, but none with any true SF starter credentials. No established backup PG...

This is more difficult than usual. It could depend on the opponent.

We know Dame, Ant, and Grant will get the most minutes. After that, it could vary for a while until things shake out.

Either Dame or Ant will play with the 2nd team, so there is your scorer off the bench.

Before the season I was pushing for Winslow to start at SF because he gave us a 3rd ball handler and a solid defender. So maybe we just replace Hart with Winslow. That does not mean he will get major minutes because multiple players can play that position, (Little, Cam, SS, and even Grant )

I actually like Eubanks more than Nurk starting, but I doubt that happens. Either way, Nurk, Eubanks, and Watford will get minutes at C depending on the opponent.

I expect these in the rotation if everyone is healthy. (Which rarely occurs)

Dame, Ant, Grant, Sharpe, Little, MT, Cam, Winslow, Nurk, Eubanks, Watford

These will not
Keon, Arcidiacono, Walker, Knox, Butler, Badji
 
Forwards we now have:
Grant (soon to develop a nagging injury?)
Winslow (already beat him to it)
Little
Sharpe
Watford
Walker (who really deserves minutes!)
Thybulle
Reddish
Knox

Can any of them play guard? I guess Watford and Winslow can dribble, unlike the others. Can any of them play center? No, although Watford is sometimes played there.

Thybulle is back to back All Defense 2nd Team. Not a scrub. Reddish hasn’t found a home yet and may not be a scrub.

We played small ball effectively with Winslow at center when we were playing well to start the season.

Sharpe can play guard. I can eventually see a 3-man rotation of Dame, Ant, and Sharpe if Cam and Little can handle SF.
Thybule will get situational minutes at guarding the top offensive guards/SF

What I find funny is some say " Ant is only 23 and still has room to grow" Thybulle and Reddish are also only 23 and they are scrubs and busts. Now Ant has shown more on the offensive end, but is no where near the defender. So is it they are 23 and room to grow? or 23 and this is all they are? Seems to depend on if they were drafted by the Blazers or not. ps this was not pointed at you Kingspeed, just adding onto your post.

or it depends on level commitment you put in to get better. Ant has Dames work ethic he will only get better

Jabari Walker is 6'6.75" barefoot, 6'8" in shoes; Knox is exactly 1-inch taller. Listing Walker as 2 inches taller than Knox is messed up.

Also, Butler, though 7'1", is a PF, not a C.
