    people here know what the Blazers are up against and the obstacles stacked against them in the trade. And who the hell is responsible for that? Who was it that put Portland into the tax last year for a team with a losing record? Who was it that obligated Portland's 1st round picks till 2027? Portland is only 1.7M below the tax line but that's counting the 5M in dead salary going to Andrew Nicholson and Anderson Varejao. Who did that?

    people here know a lot more about the situation than you're giving them credit for, but they know who is responsible for that situation and it's adding to the frustration

    A real GM would tell Dame. Sorry we're going to do what's best for the team. If you were serious about the being here for the city and the team then let's move forward, if not ruin your image and demand a trade.

    Dame has said it a million times... this is business.

    We couldn't beat Gary Harris, RJ Hampton and a pick?

    While this is true, I think you're overinflating the value of a 2027 first round pick of a team that's been consistently above average over the last decade... GMs don't make trades in vacuums. A mid-teens pick 6 years from now isn't going to be that interesting to a GM who may not have that job anymore...

    Guys why not wait til the deadline is past before getting out the pitch forks and other items like that to destroy NeO -- He still might have a move to be made --

    I will admit it is time to explore CJ trades but your not trading CJ at the deadline so you need to keep in real in the scope of the deadline not offseason type moves

    Nuggets fans themselves think they gave up too much on Twitter at least

    I have said this before. Dame is the reason Stotts is still here. Dame is the reason CJ is still here. Dame is the reason Neil is still here. He has put zero pressure on the organization to take risks or make changes. Do you think Kobe or Jordan or LeBron would have allowed the team to wallow in mediocrity the way that we have for the past six years?

    Fans always think they gave up too much because they often completely overvalue their players. The Nuggets got the best player involved....so they win. Their #5 starter, a scrub bench player and a protected 1st....not a lot.

    We could have easily. So tired of Olsheys failure to get a decent trade done

    It's a first rounder, there were some 2026 first rounders included in big trades this off season.

    LOL...so, RJ Hampton was the "young talent" Orlando accepted. Gary Harris is an injury-prone, undersized SG with another year left on his contract.

    hard to believe Portland could have topped that
