    Lakers can't get enough money in contracts to make it work, unless they traded LeBron for him.

    Same thing I broke down when Chris Paul was being rumored to the Lakers.

    Why would Russ not be happy? He's addicted to triple doubles and OKC is the dealer.

    Maybe the Wizards trade Wall for Westbrook. Wizards think Beal and Westbrook could make a run in the east. OKC can tank while Wall recovers.... I dont know its 1am and Im just spit ballin lol.

    OKC had better get another haul of draft picks for taking on that salary. That would be horrible for Washington, Beal would be shut out at the wrong time by Westbrook and it'd be the same old story (both for Beal and Westbrook). But what else are they going to do? At least they'll be a team that people want to watch.

    I know who to blame for this deal: Dame. That shot over George to end the series told OKC they were never going to be good enough as currently constructed.

    Bummed Kawhi isn't staying East, but anything is better than him going to the L*kers.

    Can we trade Whiteside for Adams? I'm not sure what we would have to include for that....and I doubt Adams would want to be on the bench once Nurk recovers.

    No please, a motivated Whiteside is much better than pussy Adams and Whiteside is on a expiring contract, while Adams awful contract goes till 2021

    I feel like I want to complain about this. Spare me a moment, and then tell me if I'm right or full of it.

    I feel like the Blazers just can't get a break. When we first drafted Dame, practically overnight the Warriors pop up and dominate the West.

    Now they are in a down year, we improve this summer, slightly.....and now suddenly the Clippers look like they are popping up in one summer to become a genuine contender that could legitimately get a championship, if they add a couple of bench players. Love or Iggy, perhaps?

    And that's not including the fat flopping abomination we have to put up with in Denver.

    Fucking A. When is it going to be OUR turn? We've done everything right with the exception of one season of idiotic contracts. We built a team around a guy who loves the city and has zero character issues, we got a good Center who is loved by all, and we've been pretty good with spending money and okay at drafting. So when the fuck does the light of Basketball Jesus shine upon thee? Because I'm fucking sick of hearing about LA, Kahwi, LeBron, and all the rest of those popular cock suckers who ring chase and fuck off when the going gets tough.

    Am I wrong?

    You don't win just because your PG loves the city or your center is loved by all, you win with talent, once we'll have enough talent it will be our year but until then nobody should be shocked if the Blazers can't get in contender territory.

    I get that. It's just frustrating that a small group of popular douchebags can ring chase in any big city, to teams that seem to have just the perfect amount of money to make it happen, and draw anyone to them in the blink of an eye, and we get shit on year after year after year. The fucking media can't even pronounce our players names correctly.

    It's just frustrating, that's all. I can't even turn on a sports show in the off-season without some asshole busting his nut over LeBron, Davis, Kahwi, KD, or Los Angeles. Even the KNICKS got more attention than us.

    Beyond fucking sick of it.
