    The quality of offseason moves I can handle, the predictable meltdown I'm kinda sick of.

    Barton > Turner

    And I like Turner. Coach Stevens deserves a lot of credit for his turnaround, but....

    Hindsight is always 20/20.

    I'm find myself automatically ignoring certain posters content with their continual record playing woes.

    The spin doctors that dont call it like it is sucks the fun out of it too. Call a spade a spade. This contract is absolute shit.

    I'm with you on this. I can see not liking the moves, but the overreacting and sensationalism gets annoying. Maybe you don't think Turner is worth this price and wanted us to get someone better. But that doesn't mean Turner is "terrible" or a "turd". He is a pretty good player actually. And what's wrong with adding Mahinmi? He's not a turd either.

    No issues with that. Im just extremely disappointed. Im not a fan of throwing money at mediocre players. We needed a third big player, and this hurts us in people able to obtain that 3rd big time player. Im a die hard blazer fan just as you are. I just have high expectations and am tired of mediocrity.

    Yeah lets just overpay all the role players in the league and be content with mediocrity.

    It's not that they're bad players, it's that we were told they would be getting "needle moving players" again and again, and neither of them are needle movers.

    Also, to the people on suicide watch: you have your opinion and that is great. But, do you need to say the exact same negative shit 30 times in every single thread? I know you have the right to. Doesn't make it any less annoying.

    It might happen, but Mahinmi is not over payed yet.

    And I totally understand that. I was hoping for better than those guys as well. I just don't need to post that a billion times (not saying that you are, by the way).

    I'm a glass half empty kind of person, I understand I'm being annoying.

    Bro, its the same thing the other way. The spin doctors are trying to justify this and its not justifiable. Thats it. Its a terrible contract. An absolute disappointment.

    Word. I appreciate the honesty! I'm a glass half full kind of guy. Like I said, I know there are different types of people. It takes all kinds. I just don't like seeing all the super sensationalistic posts all the time. I'm positive, but I'm not going to try to blow smoke and rainbows all over the board right now. This was pretty underwhelming. It's like half the board just went full Mags, but in the opposite direction.
