Blazers Expected To Move One Of Jerami Grant, Anfernee Simons Before Training Camp

Still the move we NEED to make

Everybody in the world knows the Magic need Simons except for the Magic front office. With KCP on the team I don’t think it is likely though.

Has Anthony Black shown he can consistently play offense?

Bleacher Report’s Zach Buckley listed Simons as the ninth-best trade asset on the market this summer.

“Should Simons reach the market, he’d land near the top of the wish list for any shoppers in search of an offensive jolt. He pairs a fiery three-ball with dunk-contest bounce, plus he’s wiggly enough to ditch defenders off the dribble. The Blazers were abysmal on offense this season (29th in efficiency), yet Simons still stamped his spot among the Association’s elites (94th percentile in offensive plus/minus).

Simons doesn’t turn 25 until June, and he isn’t owed a colossal amount of money ($53.6 million over the next two seasons), relatively speaking. Trade interest in him should be substantial, even if he’s functionally an undersized combo guard who played the worst defense of any player this season, according to at least one metric.”

Lol I refuse to let it till Simons has been traded to the Miami Heat or some other Eastern Conference team to become a new Magic killer.

Bleacher Report’s Greg Swartz put together a list of players under the age of 25 who are in need of a trade.

Portland's Anfernee Simons made the list amid a solid backcourt even without Simons.
"Already heading into his seventh season, Simons would look better in a contender’s starting lineup, one where he can function as a secondary ball-handler and get lots of spot-up three opportunities. Simons averaged a career-high 22.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 5.5 assists and made 38.6 percent of his three-pointers last season. He’s a high-volume floor-spacer, ranking sixth in the NBA in made threes per game (3.4) and was lethal in catch-and-shoot opportunities (42.7 percent)

Question is what does Portland really want for Simons, and what can they honestly get for him. Assuming they are indeed tanking for the 2025 Draft Class we can offer them both 2025 1st Round Picks ( Denver’s & Our own ) and at this stage would really consider AB if they had any interest in him at all.

Simons had played 6 seasons. He is much closer to a finished product.

1. The Magic arent going to pay Simons 27 mill to come off the bench.
2. I am not sure Simons will be happy coming off the bench.
3. Sexton is a much better option.

The team that trades for Simons will need to be prepared to give him a huge extension after this season. Bill Duffy will make sure he gets traded to a team willing to do that.

Exactly why he is valid for extension next year. Lol

If he doesn’t, then what? Let him walk? We trade away assets for him..

And there really is no room for him tbh. Management is clearly banking on Franz and Paolo. Once Anfernee’s contract expires, Paolo’s extension will kick in as well.

Its probably also the reason why we can’t even come to a deal with Jalen. Cause the new cba makes it really difficult to have multiple big contracts on the team.

Its basically a 2 year rental for Simons, if you think about it.

Management also closed the door already with KCP signing. That’s too much salary for off the bench player thats not even game changer.

I’m not worried about Suggs, I think he’s important enough to the team that he does have a really solid number guaranteed to him right now and they basically are telling him show us what you can do and we will pay you more.

As far as assets management I’m not sold on AB 100% as a plan for the future. Resigning a player is a 2 way street after all the player also has to want to stay. How much opportunity is AB going to get the next 2 season’s? He seriously has to develop into something other than a defensive upside player.

Heard a Suggs+Cole for Simons trade proposal on the 6th Man Show.

THAT would be shocking.

He is a solid player, but yes not as good as you seem to think. Im fine with trading for Simons IF the FO is okay with paying him 27 mill to come off the bench, and if he's okay with coming off the bench. Something like Cole+Howard+ maybe a 1st is fine with me in that case. I still prefer Sexton though
