    What if it's a low pick and it comes with a bad contract?

    If it were all about balance sheets this is a fucking awful deal with way too much risk for the additional almost 80M investment.

    I guess I would have to see the deal. 20 or better, I would wish we had got the deal.

    He'll be traded 6 years from now for a 12 year old, and there's gonna be people bitching on here about why we didn't get that deal

    Meh. Could be his fault but he seems pretty nervous. Not that uncommon for nervous/introverted people to stumble in an arena like that.

    If you're a real fan of our team do you think even with nerves getting the best of you that you'd fumble Ant's name? I mean Ant was on the team for 7 years. I mispronounce the last name Simmons now because of Ant.

    I don’t know much about the city’s governance, but last time I was in Portland, it seemed to me that politicians might have one or two more pressing matters to address. Maybe I’m wrong, it probably depends on this guy’s actual responsibilities. Still, when politicians use their platform to talk about something as trivial as sports, I find it a bit surprising.

    Given the current state of things in Salem, perhaps that's a good thing.

    Be like me: ignore financials and just watch the basketball. We may well all be dead before Jrue is washed.

    How in the hell??

    I could understand if he said Anfernee wrong, but ffs, it's not like his last name was something like Tsakalidis or Valančiūnas or one of the other last names that Mike Rice would butcher (on purpose).

    Yeah that dude is not a Blazers fan. It's political performative nonsense or should I say American politics business as usual.

    Yeah, I am guessing that Strenuus watches more Blazer games than that dude.

    The Senator could not even say Ant's name right so as far as I am concerned he prolly is not even a fan so he should STFU -- period
