It's a first game of a back to back. Tomrrow's game is vs the Rockets.

That's a solid point. I doubt it will work out as fortuitously for Portland but that is definitely a good point that anything can happen when it comes to unhappy stars.

It’s a trade than improves both teams. However I still want a new coach to try first before giving away Simmons

Yes.
To ignore that is crazy. Going into a game like "Aye we bout to get killed on the rebounds so....". Gives you zero room for error in other areas. You have to be close to perfect on offense.

Their bread and butter is the 3 ball but they're one of the worst shooting teams in the league. Guaranteed to have nights where they can't make anything. 2nd round exitYes.

I wouldn't really want to give away Simmons for McCollum if I was a fan. Simmons is a better overall player and he has more room to grow as frustrating as he has been at times. They can get a better package for Simmons then McCollum to the right team wanting Simmons. No question in my mind.

Giving up Simmons for CJ would be asinine.

Im exaggerating but I his iso game reminds me of Bargnani,
7 feet tall but uses his physical tools to fire off mid range jump shots.
He seems to have no ability to physically overwhelm people like say an Embiid does.

Personally i just don't want these dudes tweaking anything when we have another game 2mmrw, & Houston is a potential playoff matchup. I would rather them play against OKC 2mmrw night

If Ayton was named Aytonvic people would be complaining about how soft he is on offense.

People already say he's soft and a bust lol. He's definitely got big work to do but his numbers have been nice offensively and he's a elite rebounder and has gone from 0.9 to 1.6 blocks this season. He's playing better then people think he is.

Not 1 for 1. More had to be added for Portland but that would be the basis. I’m not saying do it now but say by next year Portland is still capped as a 2nd round team and Simmons still won’t shoot, there you go

This is true minus the 2nd round exit lol. But morey just signs guys and tells them to hoist up 3s and the math will work itself out. If you going all in on 3s you have to get snipers out there.

It would have been alright if he stopped at LeBron but since he added KD, I’m not sure what his point is
So is he simply saying they are more talented than Michael Jordan as basketball players? If so, I don’t think many folks would argue. Or is he insinuating LeBron is the GOAT?

I def don't think he's a bust, he's a solid player, maybe he'll be a fringe all star one day.
but he was the number one pick so you would hope for more from him. and the only way he's gunna be a really star is if he start mashing people.

I wouldn’t call Ayton soft because he does hit the glass and he tries on defense. He’s definitely not a bust, no one ever said that.
but a big shooting 3 free throws in 3 games is absolutely alarming and inexcusable. so yeah maybe he is soft.

Portland should've offered CJ to the Knicks back when they had Porzingis. Lillard and Porzingis would have that pick and pop like in Dallas and then Nurkic in the post would be a great trio.

Russ isn’t even the best point guard on his own damn team.

What do you feel gives THIS rockets team a better chance at winning? Both LA teams are clearly better, Morey had to try something or they would be blazers south
bucks were literally leaving the shooters open to not allow any layups. Nothing was being forced, in that game I was fine was it. You want guys 6’7 and under trying to score in the paint on Giannis and Brook Lopez?
This. I commend Morey for his creativity and willing to take risks. He's always willing to try something new as opposed to running the same teams back to get the same results.
