    I think ownership realizes after Dame's historic 55 pt double OT masterpiece that with his marketing machine...global status....tv commercials...tennis shoes and rap career, movie role and all the razzle dazzle that is Lillard..that it's time for the gazillionaires to stop worrying about paying some luxury tax and getting what you pay for roster-wise in this small market. We have a historical team leader we may never see the likes of again here and a handful of years to give him the best chance to get to the big dance...We've got Paul...now we need to find John George and Ringo... if you fail to build a team with this guy, you blew your chance...you pay Norman Powell now and pay him well...he's George

    CJ is not our most tradeable asset. He may be close to our LEAST tradeable asset - at least, if you want anything close to equal value in return.

    What gave it away - the fact that he was a bench player on the 2019 champions?

    So we're agreed - Olshey has to go.

    People don't realize how much money the owners of the team have and what they spend it on...we have an extremely wealthy owner.

    You'd think FA players (stars players) and agents would know that and try and capitalize.

    I don't think it has to Olshey and he's the one who was talking up the Norm acquisition and for the first time not bragging about CJ.

    Here’s the real challenge, do you trade CJ first to show Norm you’re serious about keeping him or do you try to sign him first and trade CJ second?

    didn't miss it. It was similar to his other unreal numbers in those first 12 games. Unsustainable....obviously

    by the way, ESPN changed the way they calculate RPM prior to last season and it's become one of the noisiest stats around.

    I think you trade CJ during the draft... it's the best time to make deals. I think we're allowed to talk to Norm between now and then to make sure the right role and coach will keep him here.

    it's naiive to think neil hasn't already reached out to norm and his agents.
