I think every Blazers fan should read this to fully comprehend how blessed we are as Blazers fans http://www.rubechat.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=264072&sid=034a3bd1489028ab2509fc24610c29dc
Yeah... it makes the occassional loss not feel so bad. I mean, Love goes for 43 and 19 (17-18 from the FT line) and they still lose by 7.
There were definitely times in the past decade or so that this board looked like that. That level of despondency happens to most teams at some point. Except the Spurs.
Sure, but the pure arrogance of that fanbase while they haven't won shit.... ever..... in the history of their franchise.... is pretty astonishing.
They have a ridiculous record in close games. They are like 1-12 in close games right? If they were only 6-6 they'd be above .500, which is nothing to be ashamed of in the West.
Decade? I would say the last year. Anyways I think their fan who said they do not have any tradable assets is wrong. They have plenty if they want to. All in all they are just one player away from turning it around. They need a guard/SF who can take over down the stretch. Every team has to have one. We have Lillard. If I were them I would use Rubio and Martin as the bait to get one.
Nobody would give up anything close to that for Rubio or Martin. Rubio is terrible. He can't hit the broadside of a barn.
He can't shoot, but he has value to a team that needs a great passing PG. Plus I am not saying Rubio or Martin, I am saying both. Throw in last year's two first round draft picks too. (Shabazz and Dieng) Not saying it will be easy, but they do have some trade assets.
Nobody would give up anything close to valuable for Rubio, Martin, dieng and shabazz. They are pretty much going to lose love in a year and be complete Shit for the next decade. Rubio can set up an offense, but he is the worst shooter ever so teams sag off of him and he becomes ineffective. At least Andre miller could figure out how to still take it to teams while being a poor shooter. Rubio Is on another level of terrible.
Rubio + picks + contracts for Rondo might be interesting. Rondo's not Reggie Miller, either, but he can at least make a layup. And maybe Brad Stevens can find a way to utilize Rubio? For darn sure BOS is collecting picks and young projects. Rondo wants very badly to be a free agent next year, which will drive down value BOS is planning on getting for him.
