Honestly, it might not seem like it but if Clingan and Kris develop some level of scoring, a lineup of Sharpe-Toumani-Murray-Clingan with a PG who simply distributes to them could be the future....That PG could be Scoot or it could be a future free agent/draft pick like Egor or Dylan. Deni, if the Blazers can keep, definitely has potential to grow into Grant's spot or be the bench captain. He is good enough to handle the ball and fill any role, honestly, which is what you want from a sixth man. I don't know that they'll retain Banton. Sounds like he might just go get paid, which he absolutely should since he's not going to another opportunity.
It's both! Chaunceys play calling has been very inconsistent and doesn't really seem confident in scoot. Scoot needs a green light and more minutes with the starters in order for him to improve. Ant isn't really invested in the team anymore, Ayton is too inconsistent with his motor and Grant's age doesn't lineup with the team
In my opinion Billups is an issue on offense, doesn’t really utilize the skills of the players we have proper like. Defense he’s solid with his skills to get guys locking in. For me we need that coach that can get both flowing solid.
Thanks for the comment! IMO, Chauncey is one of the biggest issues right now. A big part of that is not utilizing the players well enough, and just overall making poor decisions. Whether thats lineup choices, what sets to run, etc. He's had his good moments for sure, but for this team to succeed longterm they need a new coach
I'm an Orlando Magic fan but have been a big fan of Shaedon since his high-school days. The sky is the limit for him in terms of ceiling/potential. I'm glad to see he's starting to put it together this season out in Portland. I think he will be a consistent 20+ ppg player for you guys, and when he enters his prime years, will be one of the top scorers in the league.
Welcome to the channel! I really hope he can become that. He can get his own shots off, and do a bit of everything. Just needs to get those shooting numbers up a little to take that true leap into all-star level area.
Don't trade or fire anyone!!! This team needs TIME to gel and build some continuity before they truly know what they have. If they trade players they may just be letting go of someone who hasn't had a chance to reach their potential and blossoms into a great player with some other team. Like Boston did with Banton...he never had a chance to show them how good he really was because he was stuck at the very end of their bench. Like the Clippers did with SGA! Bet they wish they could take that one back!!! lol This team needs to be PATIENT, give the players TIME, let them GEL, and simply play more together! Fans are in way, Way, WAY too big of a hurry to get rid of certain players, and a coach who has them playing the best the Blazers have in years, and now all they need to do is LEAVE EVERYTHING ALONE! Give them more time to actually see for sure what they truly have. DO NOT RUSH, BE PATIENT. Great teams aren't built in a few weeks, or months, but in years! It's a team sport, so let them become a true TEAM!
Can you make a video discussing possible trades for Ayton, Simons, Grant, Williams lll, and Thybulle as a lot of teams can start trading as of Dec. 15.
For sure! I made a video a few months ago about 5 Trade Options for the Blazers. Should check that out if you haven't. But will definitely make an updated one sometime soon!
Would love to see Sharpe tighten up that handle a little but overall loving his development. That OKC game was solid but showed loud n clear Billups seriously lacks on offensive prowess, would love to see us get a well balanced coach after this season to take us to the next level….Stotts offense but bs defense and Billups defense but bs offense definitely shows we have a type in RipCity front office. Haha.
That OKC game was a rough game for Sharpe honestly. And he still had 21 pts. I've thought that same thing. We traded Stotts for the exact opposite lol. We need someone in the middle who knows how to do a bit of both, and then get a solid team put together, and thats how we'll win
Yeah having a rough game and still getting 21 is very promising, one bright side to our team is they are young n still growing. Well let’s hope we’ve seen the last of one dimensional coaches because the potential of talent coupled with a balanced coach could lead to great times ahead in RipCity! 🤘🏼 Thanks for the fun content!

I doubt Kris develops, but regardless 1 of him, Deni, Rupert, or someone we draft this upcoming year will have a likely chance of filling that spot 🔥
It’s not the coach. Ant and Ayton and Grant is holding the team back.
Ant dont want to be here no more
N Ayton never did lol😂

👏
Ayton , jerami Grant , Simons need to be traded
Grant for sure, Ant likely if Scoot keeps developing, and DA likely as well if Rob stays healthy

Rip City is gonna shock the west!!
Lets hope so! If Blazers are good cause Shaedon becomes a star, I'll be STOKED
If scoot could average his g league numbers we’d be even more better . Hopefully the big 3 connects some day
Agreed. If his shooting can come together and he starts playing at least average defense, we'll be set
If you are covering any team but the blazers you’d have like 10k subs by now with how high your video quality is
I appreciate that a ton! It is what it is, I love the Blazers so will continue making content around them. But maybe one day!
How bout deni?
He's been playing great basketball lately! Not sure it's because of coming off the bench, but either way, he's found his rhythm!
