With Portland playing mostly veterans, one would think Portland should be competitive with
Brogdon/Thybulle in the BC with Grant/Walker and Ayton.

We don't know if Ant/Scoot are available to play but if they are out, Reath, Camara, Murray
and Rupert are the bench.

I honestly don't get why this team shoots so many 3s. It made sense in the Dame/CJ era, as they could actually make 3s. But outside of Simons and Brogdon, none of our players are shooting threats. In fact, you could argue Scoot shouldn't be taking any shot attempts at all - at least against top half teams.

But, at least we have a ton of highlight reel plays. The team is on the receiving end of them, but they exist.

Hopefully getting blown out with our veterans increases the likelihood of some trade for the future being made.

If Ayton wasnt a 32 million dollar man there isnt any argument he should be starting over Reath at this point. He is a bum.

We get blown out with or without the vets - move them and give us a reason to watch (IE more PT for Murray, Rayan, etc).

Nice to see Walker playing well recently - albeit I value him much less if he continues to not be a 3PT threat. Without that shot his ceiling is a 4th or 5th big. If he can develop his 3 I could see him as a teams 3rd big.

I’m done with Ayton. Some other team can have our cowardly Lion.

Reath is nothing special though. Rotation guy.

Reath as a two way soon to be converted to a standard contract is the best bargain in the league
