    It was. Sadly the Knicks and Sactown didn't learn from our mistake and resigned Afflalo. Granted those are two of the dumbest organizations in the NBA, but even they should have learned from our mistake.

    Why do you feel the need to insult evil clowns?

    I will not judge this signing until at least 20 games in the season then I can make my opinion not until jumping out to early about a player might bite you in the ass. But you have the right to your opinion.

    Should have traded Aldridge. Failing that, we should have made a lopsided trade with the cap space.

    I have to believe we would have gotten at least equal value to Evan Turner, possibly much more, and much sooner.

    Hey Sly! Been good. Busy, but good.

    Loved the playoff run, but having trouble figuring out the plan to take the step we need to take.

    How have you been?

    Been good.

    I have no idea on what the team should do. I am interested in what Plums does this off season. He impressed me during our playoff run.

    When you consider that's the first thing Canzano sees when he goes to shave every morning....

    Have we not had years of ample proof that Canzano lives for moments like this when he gets to write some negative crap about the Blazers? It makes no difference to him that the Blazers were only two days into free agency when he decided to write this piece. Olshey had swung hard at a couple of free agents and missed. Canzano couldn't sit back and wait for the third pitch to happen. Just go ahead and write the easy negative piece.

    This over the likes of Chandler Parsons? Somehow I doubt that's a name anyone's ever going to see in the NBA Hall of Fame.
