All Things Whiteside

Big time denial phase.

So no Whiteside, no Horford, no Noah, this is why I wanted to hit the lottery that's the only way we get stars by getting lucky and drafting them.

A 2nd team all NBA player and an emerging star all under 25 can't even draw us top players.

Let this is be a I told you so moment for all you guys

 

What exactly did you tell us? Don't act all high and mighty, everyone of us here know our history that we cannot sign big name free agents. Everyone. You did not tell us anything new. This time some of chose to look at this with optimism. We may get him. We probably won't. None of that is new if we dont

 

I bet Cuban sold him on being the star there. Funny thing is, whiteside is and never will be that kind of player. He wont lead a franchise. Sold him the same shit as Deandre Jordan. Dumb move

 

You realize no one has signed anywhere right? Stop your nonsense.

 

lol. Just lol. Everything you say is lol.

 

Shirtless Parsons will seal the deal.

 

Or we could just be optimistic too and say, of course Dallas are the front runners, Portland hasn't met with him yet...

 

Denial Phase -- ROFL

I think most realize the odds to get Whiteside atm are not great but to just throw your hands up and give up is kind of silly too. I would rather have SOME faith then give up and turn negative cause it's not over til it's over.

 

The NBA seriously needs to investigate tampering. This is getting fucking ridiculous. Nobody has met with anyone yet and there's already rumors about where people are going?

 

I wanted to hit the lottery. That's the only way we get stars here. Olshey is a great at spotting talent.

I just want ya to know that don't ever regret tanking Bc this successful season hasn't done anything.

I don't even blame the Blazers management either. They can't change the market and all the sudden give it fantastic nightlife or whatever hell these players want. But let this be a lesson during a pointless year when we know we won't win the championship to just tank it while our two stars are still relatively young.

In a way this is a good teaching moment and great example even IF WE HAVE a 2nd team all NBA player, another emerging star, made noise in the playoffs that we still won't get big time players.

It's all good maybe we can find those hidden gems to sign for a good deal

 

Fucking refs!!

Oh, I think you can count on being reminded of this post.

 

This post would never surface on this forum if Woj's tweet said Portland instead of Dallas. Just saying.

 

So we should hit the lottery as the 12th-14th worst team and pray we get into top 3 every season until we strike gold? Because thats what I gather from your comments. So we should mail it in the next few years?

Don't you think it's sketchy though? All these rumors coming out before teams are even able to start talking to free agents?

 

Teams do this every year, it doesn't matter. It's fine to me. Reason why we got Aminu minutes after the clock hit midnight

 

It's getting worse and worse though.

 

No this shit happens every year with every team.
