    Joe Cronin and Chauncey Billups.

    We are in great shape going forward. May take a couple of years but this team is more built for long term success than it has been in the last decade.

    Let's see what you can do with this young Team Chauncey. You have rebounding, defense and some young stud guard.

    RIP FN CITY

    I've always been behind the team. We will be exciting, and it will definitely be fun, but it will also be tortured. I guess we'll see how Chauncey is as a coach. Whether or not this group will fit together. Whether or not Ayton can be motivated, Scoot can make the adjustment, Sharpe will reach his potential and how the other pieces fit.

    We also don't know how our youngsters will react to being in Portland if they blow up and become stars. Guys like Dame and Giannis are exceptions to the rule. Most players are like LeBron and look for sunnier shores once they've established themselves.

    I have to admit I went from pacing myself for the long term to doing sprints with all the positives so far and excited and looking forward about a quick rebuild/Turnaround!!!

    I agree. Have to show this new era outrageous support and MODA needs to be deafening.

    Same but the whole Dame thing really had the base divided. Chauncey has the keys to the car and some good, young, defensive pieces. He's got 2/3 years to get this right IMO

    How can anyone get behind this team?

    The Bucks were tampering.
    Suns, too.
    Celts, too.
    Whoever, trades for Brogdon, too.

    Tell 'em Jimmy. :)

    I will say Aldo is the one poster who says good things about Jody.
    Don't think there is anyone else that does that, and many many negative posts about her being the owner.

    I think most people are confused because Lillard is gone. They'll be wait and see.

    The off-season definitely has that feel of the Summer of 1996, when the roster turned over dramatically and went after some young potential.
