    Yup. This offseason was a flat bust.

    If Dame isn't in Portland, I'm not sure who was in that pic with my dad at the Maurice Lucas Foundation Dinner last night.

    The whole thing puts me in mind of a tune by Bob Wills & The Texas Playboys.....

    Big Balls In Cowtown

    Workin' on the railroad
    Sleepin' on the ground
    Eatin' saltine crackers
    Ten cents a pound
    Big Ball's in Cowtown
    We'll all go down
    Big Ball's in Cowtown
    We'll dance around
    (Ehhhh, come in momma, the hog's done got me)
    I'll go to Cowtown
    I'll dance around
    Board up your windows
    The big boy's in town
    Big Ball's in Cowtown
    We'll all go down
    Big Ball's in Cowtown
    We'll dance around
    Put on your new shoes
    Put on your gown
    Shake off them sad blues
    The Big Ball's in town
    Big Ball's in Cowtown
    We'll all go down
    Big Ball's in Cowtown
    We'll dance around
    (Come on Ricky, fiddle down)
    Everybody's smilin'
    You can't find a frown
    (Ah)
    The girls are all happy
    'Cause the Big Ball's in town
    (That's right)
    Big Ball's in Cowtown
    We'll all go down
    Big Ball's in Cowtown
    Yeah, yeah Big Ball's in town

    People telling others to calm down. Yeah I understand the pg trade and melo trade was out of Neil's hands but I just saw a division rival grab both, Denver snagged milsap, etc. our best use of cap space last season fucked us and it was admitted by giving crabbe up for nothing. Neil got lucky with nurkic, let's be real. It was a gamble that paid off. We are wasting dame and cj's best years. Kicking the ball out to 30 percent three point shooters, guys that look lost. Traded up in the draft for Collins who is young and a prospect but doesn't look promising to me. Got lucky with swanigan. Yet we are supposed to believe in a new Meyers. I'm a blazer fan for life but fuck I'm not gonna be dumb about what I'm seeing. Everybody in the west getting better and we just stay in the same place

    True, but I think if Perry had held out one, maybe two more days, Melo would have expanded his list to include POR. By expanding his list to include CLE, Melo made it clear he wanted out of New York before the start of training camp. If Perry had gone back to him and said CLE and OKC don't have the asstes to get the deal done, I think we were next on his list. Guess we'll never know...

    My sources are telling me that this was all a ploy by the Blazers. CJ has become a basketball succubus. He played up to Melo to get close to him and steal his basketball skills. CJ will be an all star this year, Melo will be a shell of his former self.

    Oh so you don't agree? Let me guess, nurk is the second coming of Jesus Christ? Okay dope thanks for your input

    Look at our division for a second. What did they all do this offseason? Get better. Way better. Okc, wolves, Denver. Not to worry though, I'm sure Meyers Leonard will be an all star...

    The Blazers will be MUCH better this year. A healthy Nurk for a full year and adding Biggie and Collins will see to that.

    Weird how things work out, Olshey max offers Kanter to fuck OKC's cap and that fucking turns into Melo.

    The problem is, even tho Blazers will be better this year, their improvements will be less than other teams in the West... especially their division... which leaves us in the same spot, battling for 5-8 seed during Dame’s prime

    We gave olshey an extension so then he can turn around and give Meyers Leonard 2.0 in Zach Collins an extension for an absurd contract. Remember this shit.
