Also confirmation that Olshey has finally come around to trading CJ….but only if we fleece the other team. Kill me…
I'll admit it...reading your reports of the interview and imagining you stomping your feet and throwing shit at walls because the interviewer was an idiot was amusing
I kinda felt bad for letting him know the interview was going to occur in the first place. Like, I added misery unnecessarily to his day. Sorry @illmatic99...my bad.
If Patty Mills doesn't go to the Warriors (or, God help us, the Lakers), I can totally see Philly going after him HARD. He and Thybulle have a real connection, and maybe they might think he'd be good for fellow Boomer Simmons. Plus Philly, of all the contenders, has most use for him. He could play more for them than he was for San Antonio, which ain't going to happen on any other contender.
Fischer is such a good source. He is basically at Woj/Shams level with his reporting and this idiot kept asking shit about CJ to confirm his stance. UGH. Fischer has been going on the radio/podcast/spaces circuit like crazy the last few days, and people generally ask good questions. Not us. From listening to him though, I get the sense that he doesn't like being the rumor reporter, it's just something that Bleacher Report pushed him to do. He really just wants to shill his book.
I am convinced he has made no serious offers at all for any star player since he's been the GM. His valuation of CJ is asinine. And as long as Dame & CJ are options 1a & 1b, Portland is going nowhere for fuck sakes, so far, from last year's team, Portland has 'lost' Kanter, Melo, Giles, & RHJ and 'gained' Zeller, McLemore, and Brown. There's no upgrade of note yet, and Olshey has apparently still held CJ as close to untouchable to count as such is the only option left for something Dame can recognize as a serious attempt to build a contender a trade of Jones?
Depends on if Zeller is a vet min or the TPMLE. Would have been great if someone had access to and asked the best source outside of Woj/Shams.....
Last year team was better than the current roster, and that roster couldn’t beat a fucking injured Denver team that got swept next round by Phoenix. It’s fucking depressing man
