I'm saying :wink:

Brogdon or Simons? Simons would cost more but is younger. Not sure what we give up to get Simons though. I’m not interested in dealing any of Paolo, Franz, Suggs, or the two rooks unless we’re getting back a legit top 10 player.


I don’t think we’d need to…or should either. Simons’ fit in POR isn’t that great with recent memory of holding on to the Dame/CJ pairing for too long. I think Simons is worth more to us than them.

I have never been as perplexed by a player as I am with Jeremy Sochan. I keep thinking damn he's decent for an undrafted player but than I realize he was picked at #9 somehow...and than I think he's terrible. He's like this weird Boris Diaw clone.

Suns are always vulnerable against teams with bigs. Nurkic cant defend mobile bigs and he is always hurt. The next up is 38yr old Durant. Yeah no..

Wemby has a legit shot of becoming the GOAT if he can stay healthy

Wemby looks like he barely hops to dunk and that's insane! I hope he doesn't swell up some like Giannis bc then it's game over for everyone.

I wonder how coaches gameplan against Wemby? Sacrifice the 1st half by pounding his body even if it dorsnt result in buckets?

Wemby looks like an absolute **** cheat code, and what a great spot to land with Pop, both for him and for Pop. He gets one more great coaching run with a legit star before calling it a day, and he will build something EXCELLENT around Wemby
I still believe in Magic! Welcome to the Franz & Paolo era

Have a tough big like Steven Adam’s body him in the paint and hope his shot isn’t falling from deep.

Where would you rank Wemby among all players now in 2023? I think he is in the top 30ish considering the defensive side of the ball..already.

The Thompson Twins are a combined 3-28 from 3.
