Totally agree. Was merely agreeing with someone who was showing love for someone I consider a "Forever Blazer" and someone I loved growing up.
Hey, you said I could make all the stupid jokes I wanted. I only wanted to make that one. For now. And I'm not hating, I'm just making jokes. Per your permission. barfo
take it easy man...you invited stupid jokes..."make all the stupid jokes you want"....you weren't sincere? as to GM's that did more or as much (keep in mind that not every team wants to win-now, many want to shed current and future salary and collect draft picks): Dallas, NY, Washington, Phoenix, Houston, Chicago, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Memphis, Toronto, LAC, Milwaukee, New Orleans, Orlando, Sacramento....you're right, it wasn't 14, it was 15 and yeah, I know people would argue about some of those teams....but hyperbole rules!
You're misunderstanding, and being rude for no reason. I really like both of these players and I'm really excited. This might be the best week of Olshey in Portland. My only criticism is that the roster desperately needs thinning! Mostly because of Stotts and his tendencies. You only have to go back to last game to see Stotts fumble and bumble the minutes; take a gander! Hood and Kanter need 25plus minutes, therefore there will be conflict in the near future. Collins and Meyers should probably sit. Moe should sit. And yet Stotts has proven he is a creature of habit: look at the whack shit he did when Jake started playing well. He benched him! This is both a good problem and a very bad problem...is it not okay to have a dialogue about it? There are shades of gray in the world, my man...
Is Rodney Hood or Kanter appreciably better than the guys they’ll get minutes of instead? Id say maybe a little better. Thats why overall yeah they were good moves. The Blazers still need one more top end talent though, its a star driven league. Not even sure that top end talent was available for what they couldve offered. Overall Solid job at upgrading the overall roster, but I dont really see it as upgrading what their ceiling is. It does help a lot if injuries happen so there is that!
Whatever. So now you want to say shedding salary and adding future draft picks. Dallas picked up a great player that can't play but i will agree they made a good move. If you think going full rebuild like the Knicks was better then i can't even begin to debate you. New Orleans???? Have you not even been around for the last month?
Olshey hasn’t earned my blind faith, but I give him credit. He made small, incremental moves to make the team better when he couldn’t do much else. The team is better in the short-term. It’s similar to grabbing RoLo when. He did. And moves of that ilk. Small moves that make us better. I cannot say he didn’t falter in bigger moves that would have made us much better as I don’t know. But he’s clearly made a bunch of small, shrewd moves over the years that have kept us in the playoff picture, even when folks have said we should be amongst the bottom feeders of the NBA. Clearly, he’s never made that “big” move while in Portland, but he keeps turning nickels into dimes. And keeps us competetive. That ain’t bad. But I’m still waiting for something bigger, for certain.
There was nothing rude Prop. This is a pattern with you. I have read it for years now. Thus the "Used to complaining" statement.
Idon't remember anyone complaining about TT wearing #12. Frankly I'd love it if Kanter chose #12. Don't really care about 00.
Right now it's not a layup line, it's an automatic trip to the FT line with Collins. At least Kanter can bring some 2nd chance points to this squad.
