    Ah yes, how could we ever forget Noah Vonleh for a trade exception? Or the difference making Allen Crabbe for player we stretched? Great trades I must say.

    S2 Poster #1 didn't actually say that.
    S2 Poster #2 could save himself the headache.

    The W was probably added to some distant ancestor’s surname because he was the Wrong Right. ;)

    You're saying the wrong Right couldn't write right, so he wrote Wright wrong?

    The sad part is the number of fans who have either given up hope or been brain-washed into being satisfied with minimal impact deals.

    NBA GM: Hey Neil, who are your untouchables, just for reference.

    The sad part is the unrealistic expectations of fans for blockbuster deals at the deadline when they hardly ever happen.

    Neil Olshey = Wade Boggs (didnt hit many homeruns but managed to get on base a lot)

    Bob Whitsitt = Sammy Sosa (hit home runs but had a bad overall average and ruined his reputation by not caring about chemistry)

    What's the point of hitting singles if you never advance past first?

    Ah yes, how could I forget Brian Roberts and a 2nd for cap space. Or Eric Maynor for a TPE? Oh yes, also Camby for Flynn and Thabeet. Great trades. Just brilliant.

    Were you under a rock the past 24 hrs?

    Harris got moved.
    Barnes got moved.
    Porter got moved.

    Three guys who are legit starters who could have helped us.

    Jimmy Butler
    Paul George
    Antony Davis (will happen at some point)
    Porzingis
    Harden
    ......these are some of the best players in the NBA. Maybe it would be more accurate to say...

    Bluckbuster deals at the deadline hardly ever happen.....for the Blazers.

    You keep bringing up the smallest most mundane trades, and purposely not mentioning the more impactful ones. It's silly.
