So, let’s say the Nets trade Kyrie then trade Durant but not to Portland.
Then the Nets decide to deal Ben Simmons.
Should the Blazers get in on that? I say, absolutely. But DO NOT give up Anfernee Simons.
He is cheaper, a shooter, more mature and uses up one less m. – 3:34 PM

As expected, Trail Blazers announce that they have extended a qualifying offer to Anfernee Simons. He is a restricted FA. #RipCity4:52 PM

This was a formality but the Blazers just announced they extended the qualifying offer to Anfernee Simons.
Expect his new deal to get done quickly, as I wrote along with other free agency thoughts for @RoseGardenReprt subscribers yesterday: rosegardenreport.beehiiv.com/p/free-agency-…3:19 PM
