    first, nobody misses Olshey

    2nd, Cronin may lose his job with that...or he could have orders from Seattle to tear the team down to the foundation

    but for fuck sakes, to not get one 1st out of Powell and RoCo is insane

    We just traded two guys that can start for championship teams for three guys that can't even get significant minutes on this year's train wreck Clippers... oh and a 2025 second rounder. These are two guys that we gave up two firsts and Gary Trent Jr. for.

    How can there be paranoia when the nightmarish situation already happened? You're right that people are panicking because our GM just gave away two of our best players for jack shit.

    We did Norm and RoCo a solid. They get to live in SoCal now.

    Yeah, I was just talking to my brother who isn't a fan of our team but is a huge sports fan and he said, "Maybe you guys are just going to trade away everybody and start over." but I reminded him that when people do that they tend to want to get draft assets for their productive players and we got a 2025 second.

    Well you’d think if there was going to be more we wouldn’t have traded away two of our most tradeable assets.

    Panic trade to get under the tax not caring what we got in return. This franchise is doomed until Harasser Jody sells the team and we get a quality gm. I dont think even the most pessimistic would foresee what horrible value we got out of this. I am so pissed off. I miss Paul Allen so much.

    should have fired him a couple of years before he traded Ariza & 2 firsts for RoCo; then Trent for Powell; then a 1st for Nance

    Even if we were just dumping salary this still makes no sense. There had to be a team that wanted Norm for expiring contracts... we didn't even get one fully expiring contract or any picks. As far as RoCo goes we could have just let him walk for nothing and it would have been better than this.
