    For all the people telling posters to calm down over shitty moves. What is going to be your schtick when Lillard forces a trade since running it back gets us bounced in the first round again?

    I think each signing is good. Solid. Make sense. But it doesn’t matter. Need stars in this league. Without stars, players 7-13 don’t mean shit.

    I also think that in a hypothetical trade call, Neil is asking for Zion for CJ.

    Breathe a sigh of relief and look forward to the haul that he will bring in to be honest

    I wish somebody from Atlanta could give us some insight on why that happened.

    Well if he asks for a trade presumably because Neil ended up doing nothing, it’ll be the same reaction y’all are having not even 24 hrs into FA.

    I would too. Either go all in and move our picks to help dame, or trade him for a massive haul.

    Tired of this running it back bullshit and Neil's M.O of hitting bunt singles

    It's not 24 hours in FA. This is the icing on the cake of his tenure as a gm. Not good enough.

    If we still haven't used our tax MLE, than i'm not unhappy with what we have so far. We're gonna be deeper than last year which could mean we can spare some assets to add to CJ's value.

    They better use the TPMLE to at least get a movable contract.

    But I think they may not even use it to same Jody some money. Then rationalize it by saying no one was out there that was worth it.

    I was a fan of Portland before Dame was born...if he wants to leave he should leave..same with every player ever signed here....I want players who want to be here...until people stop eating the market kool aid about Dame I don't believe a fucking word of it....Chauncey and Neil met Dame and told him the plan...after that Dame shut down the rumor mill publicly...that's enough for me

    It hasn’t been 1 day.
    It’s been 1 day of free agency.
    They have plenty of time to pull off a trade.
    All the peer agents that would’ve maybe helped are gone.
    It’s been 9 years

    This guy thinks he can play good defense. But if so; how does a guy with a .696 efg% and good defense only play 7 minutes in the playoffs? Very weird. Did they have bigger matchups?
