    I did not say the super max hurt the Blazers. I said demanding a trade after signing it hurt the Blazers. And only demanding Miami, and having his agent speak to other teams about not trading for Dame are the things that hurt the Blazers. And yes, he earned the super max. No disagreement there.

    As to Grant, we shall see. If they keep him for five years then he was always part of the rebuild and he bought in. If he demands a trade obviously he was not down with the rebuild, and if he is traded without asking out then he was not part of the rebuild and a mistake of a signing. Time will tell.

    Dame in MIL might feel like a new pair of socks this season.

    If Milwaukee and Phoenix meet in the Finals, we could see more former Blazers on the court simultaneously than was ever possible while they were Blazers. And not just because we never sniffed the Finals.

    I think that if Milwakee and Phoenix meet in the Finals something bad happened to Jokic.

    I guess we agree that it is bad, so that's something...

    I didn't know Stotts is an assistant coach in Milwaukee.

    That was kind of a nice part of the Lillard trade. Reunited with a couple players and Stotts.

    You know Olshey has already made multiple calls asking about how the valet parking is in Milwaukee.

    I'm happy for Terry...I liked his coaching ..the Bucks are smart to bring him in as offensive coordinator.

    Perhaps. But if Phoenix: a) stays healthy, b) figures out how to gel all their wing talent, and c) finds enough productive role players, I don't think it would be an upset for them to get past Denver. That's a lot of if's, though.
