Orland Side

  • Assuming Orland isn't averse to trading Jett, given they also have a similar player in Caleb Houston, having an elite shooting guard is crucial for them to execute deep playoff runs. In the end, Ant would be great there.

  • The issue is they want players beyond Ant's level. There's also the possibility of targeting star two-way guards like Spida or Dejounte. But wouldn't trading with Atlanta in the same division be unfavorable for both? While Spida is a superstar, for better or worse, he tends to influence the culture heavily. Ant fits well as a high-end role player. He recently mentioned refining his off-ball movement in interviews. He's a likable guy with a high character who's willing to join small-market teams.

Portland Side

  • His name was chosen by parents who were fans of Penny. Isn't it fate for him to go to Orlando? He's one of the league's top shooters and he's young. However, he doesn't fit into the Portland' plans. We're leaning towards Scoot/Sharpe in the backcourt. We're not strong enough defensively to cover up Ant's defensive weaknesses, so trading him away might seem like a better option than forcing a fit.

  • It's evident they're clearly aiming to get bigger. They drafted Kris (6-9) and Rayan (6-8) in the 23 draft, and added Banton (6-9) to the mix. The front office's preference for size is apparent, and they'll likely welcome Jett with open arms.
