    Agreed.... Though there are almost certainly more transactions ahead. Will they be needle movers?

    Re-checked my post and didn’t see where I said I was surprised either.

    simply stated that every time I think about coming back, then I’m like “oh yeah this folk just isn’t for me, I remember now”

    I don’t expect that Frank doofus on barstool to be any different any time I see him acting like a petulant child. But it doesn’t change that some people are straight up not enjoyable to be around when things aren’t going their way (for me).

    I'm not sure how one could come to this conclusion.

    If I had to assume, I'd guess Grant not re-signing would greatly impact his willingness to stay.

    They are on the roster we have 3 guys over 6'9 bro Badji I'm excited to watch...Butler is a 7ft stretch 4...you need these guys when you play San Antonio, Philly and Denver...shot blockers
    I read we're looking at a 6'10 guy who's lighting it up in Europe too.

    I guess that's up to you man. There's not many options for blazers discussion. And at least most of the people on here actually know what they're talking about.

    A great example of why getting something (even if it's only a late 1st round pick) is better than losing a free agent for nothing.

    100% and I’m not even one who wants to be stuck in an echo chamber of positivity and negativity, cause both are boring AF imo, it’s just overly emotional online screaming can be tiresome and the turnoff for me. It has been my experience in many highs and lows of teams I support (like an idiot, seriously why do I love being kicked in the nuts lol) things are rarely as good as they seem, and rarely as bad as they seem.

    FVV got more money than any other free agent so far... I think.

    Losing FVV seems fine to me. There's no way that dude is worth that money. His stats last year were garbage. Wow.

    I think you missed the main point. I think Houston made a mistake as well by giving him that contract. However, 4 months ago Toronto could've got some assets for FVV, but instead, lost them for nothing, then panicked, and overpaid for a replacement that doesn't fit their needs.

    They might be setting up to do the same thing with OG.
