I see no reason to, personally. Let him play out the year next year and prove himself. If he's a restricted FA next year then I can live with it. Wasn't a fan of the Sharpe extension for the same reason. He owed us a true breakout season and we didn't get one, and his contract value looks so-so.

LMA is our new GM?

He immediately loses credibility if he keeps Cronin. Bear in mind that Cronin was also here throughout Olshey's pillaging of the franchise, and a true GM search was never even conducted when One Life to Live got let go. Joe's had 4-5 years (plus the 9 before that) to impact the roster and the...

Serious question: of the last four Blazers that have been drafted in the 1st round, is Kris Murray the 2nd best?

You do have to wonder if they're more willing to trot him out there because of the 65 game minimum for award eligibility requirement (Most Improved Player). But he's not going to be winning any awards if he keeps playing 1 minute and screwing his back up further. Really dumb.

Last summer is looking so bad for Cronin. The draft is looking worse than originally thought and it already looked pretty awful. Passing on Coward, Queen, or taking the Dumars offer is just looking ridiculously dumb. And that's to say nothing of the fact that Yang doesn't even look close to...

Refs tried to give it to Houston until the literal bitter end.

Clingan is already so much better than Ayton

Sharpe looks utterly broken

NBA officiating is such a pathetic joke.

Yeah if I'm Dundon I'm not clinging to any of the old guard upstairs that's been around for the last few years of toxicity. Hopefully he's clinging to Clingan though! That dude is legit!

Rupert is now in his 3rd season... anyone see a future in the league for him?

Favor to his agent maybe? Idk, that's all I got.

League average is 36%, so objectively it is below average. Portland as a team shot 34.2% last year, which is 26th best. And they just lost their most prolific 3 point shooting threat. I have no faith in a checked out Grant to rebound back to his outlierish 2022-24 numbers either. Or rebound at...

Matisse only played 15 games last year and he's a career 34% three point shooter. I think looking to him to provide shooting stability is a big, big gamble. Ant's one virtue was that he was our most reliable three point shooter overall and the only guy who could somewhat consistently knock...
