    Neither do I. Same goes for the Clips as I have them 9th and 10th (whichever order floats the boat).

    Showing Neil Olshey had nothing to do with it.

    As a small market I hope Neil is going after Crowder and that contract. We couldn't afford Bradley and him leaving. However I really believe Neil isn't gonna do anything. I mean, we know he tried to get in the mix for Paul george but other than that, been pretty silent and I expect it will stay that way

    no self respecting player agent is going to have his client sign a contract and have him become available after all the money is spent.

    Damn. I would take Roberson and that contract anyday over Crabbe and his contract.

    Ezeli wasnt in position to negotiate that, and some players have July 30th deadlines.

    If the guys we signed last offseason prove they had a down year and play lights out this season then we are effing golden.

    Why do you say that?

    I think there is truth to that quote about FO's understanding players can underperform after signing a big contract, until they come back down to earth and pick up where they left off & continue to improve. Sometimes it's just not there to improve talent wise, sometimes a massive change of scenery and completely new system can be a lot to take on in just a few weeks of camp, and sometimes you can get ahead of yourself because you just got paid, before you learn you've still got a lot of work left to do.

    Like I've said , we could finish 2nd to last in our division and still get a playoff spot... I think we'll get between 5th and 7th.

    It's really about 4-5 years from now. It's not realistic to think we have a chance without things out of our control happening.

    sure bones....this is where you lose it...sorry...I've seen many, many versions of the Blazers...we're the youngest team around....Vonleh is going to be a really good PF whether you think so or not. Sometimes you have really good takes on things....recently I think you're getting a bit over the top ...but it's all good. Enjoy the puzzle...might want to rethink calling these guys trash, horrible, not NBA players....news flash, they are NBA players and young
