You know, they need shooting. So it's like, is con canipple that guy, um, Maybe I'm not super excited about con canipples overall upside as an NBA player, but I bet he'll play in the league for 10 years because he's the right size. He's got good physicality and he can shoot like that's, um, that's an NBA player.

Like, I don't know if it's a really good NBA player, but when I watch him, I'm like, yeah, that dude's gonna play in the league. Um, so he's, he's a name that's probably in that range that makes some sense. I think we're sheer Fleming is a name that kind of makes some sense if the shooting is real. Cause they could use like a stretchy, big, um, I think that's the skill set.

Maybe Liam McNeely, but I don't, I'm kind of, I've kind of soured on him a little bit, but those are the names. Cause I think they need shooting, but I don't know that they're in a spot. I don't know anyone who's going to be drafting the lotteries in a spot where they should draft for a skill sets, but just like thinking about the Blazers needs, those are their needs.

You know, I think one of the most interesting scenarios for the Blazers is if they do jump up and it's like Vijay Edgecombe and Dylan Harper are choices where they land. It's like, What do you do? What do you do? Do you believe in your guys or do you bring in the talent? I think that would be a really fascinating scenario. And for the content purposes, I am obviously rooting for it.

Yeah, I mean, they have a bunch of dudes who can defend, but if Shaden Sharp and Scoot are their future in the backcourt, I don't know that you can have enough defenders, right? I think Scoot has improved a lot on defense, but he's 6'2". What are you going to do? There's not that many guys who are really good consistently on defense of that size, and Shaden Sharp's pretty bad on defense.

So I think that is a question mark for him.

Oh, man. My hope is that they make the big structural changes that they have resisted making for several cycles now. I don't know that you can trade, as I mentioned earlier in the show, I don't know that you can trade DeAndre. I don't know that that's an option. I don't know that you can trade Jeremy Grant because he forgot how to make two-pointers. But at some point you could. He was tradable.

I think every Simons is tradable to some extent. I don't know that he has this. That is not the type of player that has a lot of value in the trade market. But movable, without a doubt, movable, depending on what you're asking prices. But I think it's time to really clear the decks to let the youngsters play.
