    I wouldn't say you're garbage (maybe you are, I don't know you well enough to make that statement). But I know I'm not, and I know that no one who posts here is a "garbage fan". Even the ones who are whackadoos.

    Although we (collectively) make up a small % of the fan base, I think we're a closer conglomeration to the average Blazer fan than the morons who are giving Damian shit about this.

    Every Fan Base has douchebag fans. Blazer Fans are one of the most loyal. Look at how many butts are in the seats during lesser times. The Nuggets have a nice young team and ONLY sell out when its against Chicago, LA, Boston, and Miami (when the big 3 were there). Most nights there are barely 11 grand in the house. This fan base is not garbage. I don't care if your lumpy arse is with us or not.

    I gotta ask, If we'd just played it safe and got Mike D'Antoni would we be in this situation?

    I don’t think you are garbage either :) I do think Portland fans can be a very “what have you done for me lately” and turn on someone quickly. Sellouts like mentioned (not by you) don’t really matter to me in that. I do agree it’s a vocal minority. But we have a very stupid vocal minority (but I agree also that social media numbnuts can bring out the craziest of the crazies) maybe garbage was a bit harsh. But I think we are a tiny bit overrated in the fan department in this state. (I say this as an avid Ducks, Blazers supporters for years, and as a Timbers STH and what’s happened as a fan base since it’s become more “corporate”) lol. Thanks for checking me a bit though friend!

    Depends. Are they keeping CJ or trading him for Zion Williamson?

    Seems like this in the wrong thread. Neil actually hired someone Dame likes.
    If this is a shit show then it is the media and some stupid ass fans turning it into one.

    Neil leaked this shit on a Friday afternoon and doesn't plan on doing the press conference until Tuesday. Who else can the fans lash out at in the meantime? Dame.

    I'm wondering how they will fix this train wreck.

    Or is it a dumpster fire? Not sure which is worse though. A dumpster fire is easier to put out, whereas a train wreck should be larger. Though I've seen people referred to as a "train wreck" but not as a "dumpster fire", so I don't know.

    Wait, that made no sense. Am I sure I'm not dreaming this whole shit? I mean, the best player to ever play for the Blazers potentially wants traded, it's 115 degrees....you know, now that I think about it, I must be having a fever fueled hallucination.

    Are you saying that you're garbage or that you're not a fan?

    Why do the fans need to lash out at all? From a basketball sense, this is a good hire. How many people do you think lashed out when he was hired as an assistant coach? And Los Angeles is the cancel culture city of the world.

    It's a model train and a fire in one of those flip-top bins people have in their kitchens.

    I say we fire Olshey. Will that solve this problem? Well, only one way to find out!
