    I don't think anybody is saying that. At least I'm not. I'm saying that no top free agents will come to Portland until we've made the WCF - at that point we'll attract some top free agents. Until then we'll only attract role players.

    If we won all the games that we lost we'd be tied with Golden State.

    But I'm not being unreasonable like you're trying to imply. No excuse for losing the Dallas game. Detroit shouldn't have been a loss. Houston went to OT on a lucky buzzer beater. The Memphis loss was a last second tip-in. Each of those losses could easily be a win. Our current 8-12 could just as well be 12-8.

    I stand corrected. Should have looked before I posted.

    I wasn't implying anything, just having a little fun. Next you're gonna claim I said something about your kids and want to fight me on Mt Tabor.

    Have to disagree. I think we REALLY earned all of our losses and have had 3 or so wins we didn't deserve. We should be 5-15!

    You couldn't say anything about my kids that I haven't already said. But say something about Tabor squirrels...it's on!

    NO! Ed is a quality bench guy. Love the addition though. I think Nate was joking, but I truly love Jamal Crawford's game. Put him in the right position and his ability to get hot at any moment can really help the right team.

    He's a quality free agent and is at the top of HIS game. That's the standard you set in your original post.

    Sly, there are enough douchebags on here now, please don't become one yourself. I remember when we used to have quality conversations on here.

    Hahahaha!

    No seriously dude, you said...
    But Ainge was a bench player when we signed him so he really wasn't on the top of his game anymore. Ed Davis is actually still at the top of his game.

    For starters, Ainge was traded to Portland. They lost him as a free agent.

    The last free agent in his prime that the team signed? Wesley Matthews.

    (or Brian Grant if you don't count Wesley)

    Thats right! But Grant and Matthews were ANYTHING but top tier signings. Like I said, They ENDED up being great moves, but at the time they were moving NO needles FAMS!

    I'm not sure how many top tier free agents have signed elsewhere period. Shaq is the only one I can think of, but I haven't put much effort into thinking here.

    You can apply not thinking to most of your posts though right?
