I think Ant's shot numbers will be at least 20 per game. Shaedon and DA's numbers will be lower, 12 a piece. Grant will be the same as last year. Matisse needs about 8 per game. Scoot, oh he needs serious reps, at least 15 takes per contest.

What I can guarantee you is DA is definitely not be shooting only 12 shots a game. He shot 13 last year which is already to few, his highest FGA year was his sophomore season at 15. There’s a higher likelihood he averages 16 FGA than 12 FGA.

I’m not opposed to Ant shooting 20 times a game, but getting 20 FGA already puts him among the top 10. The guards with 20+ shots were Dame (.463), Kyrie (.494), SGA (.510), and Spida (.484). Unless Ant has incredible shooting splits, he should not be shooting that many times a game.

Fuck That! Along with running the offense Scoot will get a boatload of shots so you need to factor that in and until the trade deadline it might be prudent for Jerami to get the most shot attempts per game.

It's going to be wild. Get numbers up so Blazers Front Office can trade good players for picks? Trade trade trade trade, that's all we ever hear.
... uhg .. I just want to watch Blazer basketball.

Give it a few seasons.

I would hand it to him.

I have no doubt you would. That would certainly speed up the clock on Sharpe being the new scapegoat. I'd like to get Sharpe out of his rookie deal before that starts.
 
Imagine trading Anfernee to his hometown Orlando + draft picks for Franz Wagner

Scoot
Sharpe
Grant
Wagner
Ayton
 
If we flip Williams, I'd take a long look at some of the younger Mavs players. Doubt they'd include Lively.
 
Starters:
Scoot
Ant,
Grant
Time Lord
Ayton

Off Bench:
Sharp
Thybulle
Walker

Don't want to talk about others, as I don't think any of them SHOULD be in the rotation (though some might be).

Let's F-ing Go!!!
 
Blazers still have a gap at the SF spot. I'm guessing they'll go with something like this -

No info yet on the contracts of Knox or Reath.

I'm guessing Brogdon will be on the move soon.

Will Sharpe or Thybulle grab that starter spot?

Scoot
Ant
Grant
Ayton
Rob Will
Is that possible startin 5?
 
This isn't my depth chart but I bet it will be Chauncey's after a Brogdon trade:

Scoot, Ant
Ant, Shaedon
Shaedon, Matisse, Rupert, Knox
Jerami, Kris, Jabari, Camara
Ayton, Williams, Reath

I think Williams will be on a minutes restriction because of his chronic knee problems, this also leaves us with three guys that aren't considered to have an outside shot. I think we go small and we start Scoot, Ant, either Shaedon or Matisse, Jerami and Ayton.

Brogdon's career low in mpg was last year. And he played 26 mpg. I don't think he's gonna be happy backing up a rookie and playing 15-20 mpg.

If he's not happy he and his agent will be more motivated to help find a trade partner.
 
Scoot (30), Brogdon (18)
Ant (32), Shaedon (10), Brogdon (6)
Thybulle (20), Shaedon (18), Knox (10)
Grant (32), Walker (16)
Ayton (32), Williams (16)

Ayton, Grant, Ant: 32
Scoot: 30
Shaedon: 28
Brogdon 24
Thybulle: 20
Walker, Williams: 16
Knox: 10

There's your 10 man rotation.

Walker getting a second over Williams shouldn’t happen
 
MY rotation, which won’t be Portland’s is

PG Scoot 32 / Ant 16
SG Sharpe 32 / Ant 16
SF Grant 16 / Thybulle 32
PF Williams 16 / Grant 16
C Ayton 32 / Williams 16

Camara
Murray
Rupert
Brown
etc
Can go fuck themselves until injuries happen

I think Brogdon gets moved

rob williams is not a PF, especially with Ayton next to him. He coulda maybe been useful in that role with a spacer like Horford, but he and DA will be occupying much of the same space.

And he has averaged about 21 mpg for his career. Don't think he lasts for 30+ as you estimate. Let's see.
 
Scoot 28 Brogdon 20
Ant 32 Brogdon 8 Sharpe 8
Thybulle 24 Sharpe 20 Murray 4
Grant 32 Williams 4 Murray 12
Ayton 32 Williams 16

I think we flip Brogdon now if it's a nice return. If teams are weary of his medicals we play him 10-20 games to prove he's healthy then trade him.

lulz no Williams won't be starting.
 
I do think we're going to see some Rob Williams with Ayton. Yes the offensive fit is messy, but Rob is maximized defensively at PF as a roamer/ helpside guy - less so as the primary pick and roll defender where he has struggled at times. He's also an underrated passer so I could see some high-low/interior passing chemistry developing with Deandre.

I can envision an empty side pick and roll with scoot/ant with Rob with Deandre at the opposite elbow extended where he has to be respected as a mid-range shooter. And if Ayton's man helps, it's a easy lay down to a diving Ayton or a kick to corner for 3.

And from what we've heard from Joe and Chauncey the main defensive scheme this year will be varying degrees of drop w/ the 5 man with help coming off the ball. Rob fits in excellently here with his ability to cover ground and also switch onto smaller players at times.

Agree on the minutes

Ayton can stretch the floor a bit

Based on what we know right now, this is how I’d want the rotation, with minute distributions for our top 5 players:

Scoot (32)/Ant (16)/Mays
Ant (18)/Shae (20)/Thybulle
Shae (12)/Thybulle/Murray
Grant (32)/Walker/Murray
DA (34)/Brown/Badji

There is lowkey enough talent to actually compete for a playoff spot even before any Holiday trade. If a trade with Boston happens, it’ll be guys like Williams or Horford. If a trade with the Clips happen, it might be Batum. If we make the playoffs with this year’s roster, I’m going to be a lot happier knowing that we have the future of two teams’ 1sts + my own to find the best fit to set this young roster over the top.

Update:

Scoot (32)/Ant (16)/Mays
Ant (18)/Shae (20)/Thybulle
Shae (12)/Thybulle/Murray
Grant (32)/Walker/Murray
DA (34)/TL (14)/Brown/Badji

TimeLord will naturally be playing limited minutes, time-restriction or not. DA will be playing somewhere between 32-34mpg, so I think it works out. Unless it is a can’t-miss prospect at the wing, get more draft capital.

you have 48 at each position except PF. 16 mpg for Walker, maybe?

The irony but this was always the problem. Dame was our best asset. I’m just thrilled we were able to convert Dame into assets that help the rebuild. Dame didn’t get that luxury when LMA left.

Yep. I clamored to trade LMA the summer before he left, particularly I was targetting Embiid who I thought had depressed value with his injury, but massive upside. I was pilloried on Blazersedge (Sidebar: fuck that place) for that idea. Turns out I was right. LMA's betrayal was next level, no value whatsoever. :-/
