    I like the trade too. But like you just said, this trade looks worse if we sign him to a bad deal, or if the Milwaukee pick hits and they get a lotto pick out of it.

    Is the protection for MIL (i.e. they keep the pick if it's top-4)? Or for Portland?

    It's Top-4 protected, but wouldn't go to Portland.

    Come on dude.... no... that's not what was said.

    These aren't about being happy about the trade. These posts are about rubbing people's face in it because you all think you were right about Cronin, and you think we were wrong.

    question now... do we extend him (4 yrs, 112 mil) or let him go to FA next year and figure it out then?

    I said they were getting Grant
    I said there were whispers about a deal that wasn’t horrible

    YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION

    You’re correct. I’m pretty neutral/indifferent on Cronin. I just got tired of all the incessant bitching and whining about Cronin on here.

    not unless it’s a trade (which these dorks conveniently never actually specify) that instantly makes Portland a contender

    There wasn't much to be happy about with him.

    My beef was that they didn't even interview people. They just handed him a 4 year deal. I don't like that with a rookie GM who whiffed horribly on at least one of his trades.

    That's a fantastic strawman. Almost textbook.

    i really like daryl morey and i like that joe cronin is like him

    they are guys willing to make big moves in order to win and obviously its risky, but its what you have to do, which is something neil olshey wasnt willing to do, he was playing it safe all the time

    Absolutely, in the end, it didn't make any difference. Actually it was good, because it doesn't hurt to trade a 25 Bucks 1st than a 13th pick in this draft. Except Giannis leaves Milwaukee and the Bucks are awful in 2025, but thats extremely unlikely.
