J.B. Bickerstaff says the conversation surrounding Ben Simmons in recent years “was unfair”:

Blazers might have largest firesale chances in league
But their likely 8-man rotation tonight is not that
Scoot: #3 pick
Simons: 21.1ppg in ’23
Thybulle: 2x All-Defense
Grant: 20.5ppg in ’23
Ayton: 2018 #1 pick
Brogdon: 6MOY
Time Lord: 1x All-Defense
Sharpe: watch your head🔨 – 6:07 PM

Jacque Vaughn will gauge both Cam Johnson and Dennis Smith on the court and not play them extended stretches tonight coming off injury.
Said Smith is “probably not 100%” coming off his ankle but he’s impressed that he’s suiting up tonight to play #Nets – 5:50 PM

Jacque Vaughn doesn’t expect Cam Johnson or Dennis Smith Jr. to play “a ton” of minutes coming off injuries. The #Nets plan to be cautious with both. – 5:50 PM

Jacque Vaughn wouldn’t name Brooklyn’s starters ahead of tonight’s season opener.
JV said Cleveland didn’t disclose their starting lineup, so he wasn’t going to give them his until closer to the game. – 5:48 PM

Some matchup rankings headed into Trail Blazers at LA for Wednesday night
The last time the Blazers came to LA, Shaedon Sharpe was lighting them up with Kevin Knox+Trendon Watford until a 45-point 3rd quarter sparked by Kawhi and Russ.
Instead of Knox/Watford, it’s Grant/Ayton. pic.twitter.com/U0Sm0oJizm – 5:17 PM

“I love Cleveland. I’m happy every day I walk into the gym. That’s not going to change.”
