    “Look….”

    Neil is the most conservative and uncreative GM in the history of pro sports.

    Theres really only a few more days if he's going to get anyone to help Dame this year so pardon everyone for having a sense of urgency because SHOCKINGLY it's actually urgent.

    Good effort, though.

    Most exciting Blazer's move today was Dame dunking on Abbott. Great.

    You are because you wrote something that, given the history, would make sense coming from you lol.

    It sure makes sense if you want Mo Harkless back! There's always the Gleague two way contract!

    He's a blue checkmark with four years on Twitter and 762 followers.

    Twitter makes no sense.

    Nobody got my joke...I've failed again.....it is an absolute option for draft pickless Neil to find somebody steaming on a bench for cheap

    There is a WHOLE offseason yet but there are only a couple more days --- WTF -- i am going to steal a line from the classic movie "Aliens " when Ripley is rescued and she is in front of all the suits ......

    If the night ends with zero picks that means the roster will be filled out by vets. Why is that a bad thing again?

    Because we're used to being a bad team where draft day was our make or break for the season.

    I WISH he were more conservative (although more creativity would be fun).

    He traded up for Zach. He keeps trading our draft picks for guys who are borderline-starting level NBA players.

    A conservative GM keeps his picks and uses them to build a team, rather than trading them to make incremental improvement (assuming everything goes right).
