    I think he hired the best candidate but then again I don't base my opinion on, "how will this make me look virtuous to misandrist women?".

    It is amazing that this is the same man that made a big trade to help the Clippers out in getting Chris Paul, but won't do shit to help our team. There has been superstars out there that have been traded and he didn't take a single leap to try and obtain them. Even then, all stars like Vucevic was traded. The fact he loves CJ as much as he does is disgusting and he is not the right man to GM any team. get the fuck off my team, Neil. Someone grow a fucking pair of balls and fire him.

    That reminds me; have you noticed how much Quinn Snyder has calmed down? You can still see the intensity, but it doesn't feel "mad dog" anymore.

    bs...and how do you know what he has tried and hasnt tried. I get it, were ready for a new GM, but we've had some decent players come around Davis, Rolo, RoCo, Nurk, Hood, and others. Thbe Clippers were Handed CP by the fing league as they didnt want him in a Lakers uni. Most GM's in his league miss and dont forget Portland is a junior training ground, a spring board for other options. We need new ownership imo along with new management.

    The Paul deal to the Lakers was shitty compared to the Clippers one. The league was well within its rights to do it.

    Los Angeles Lakers: PG Chris Paul (from Hornets)

    New Orleans Hornets: F Lamar Odom (from Lakers), SG Kevin Martin (from Rockets), PF Luis Scola (from Rockets), PG Goran Dragic (from Rockets)

    Houston Rockets: PF Pau Gasol (from Lakers)

    Vs. Chris Kaman, Al-Farouq Aminu, Eric Gordon and Minnesota's unprotected 2012 first-round pick

    Everyone in their right mind at the time would have picked the second one. A bunch of vets that get you the 14th pick in the lottery versus a young star and a top 10 pick. Gordon didn't pan out, but it was still better than the Laker's deal.

    You blame injuries as part of it but then say the will barton trade is the worst even though Wes injured himself just after that trade, forcing afflalo to be a starter and that ruined everything.

    That trade was going to be great for us until then. Neil may be one of the worst gms the league has ever seen but that trade was not that bad in the moment.

    Injuries have kind of screwed him.

    Wesley Matthews
    Meyers Leonard
    Jusuf Nurkic (year after year)
    Enes Kanter
    Zach Collins (year after year)
    Little
    CJ

    Etc

    There have been a lot of injuries that have hurt the Blazers

    I disagree. Will was showing way more than Ant has. Maybe that's why he's so big on Ant. Doesn't want to make the same mistake.

    The Nurk Leg injury was the worst, cause that team was cookin'. Beat the Warriors twice, and they had no defense for him. That was a potential Trophy year with Nurk.

    Blazers might well have won it all that year

    Same as the Wesley matthews year. Blazers were cooking then too

    Losing will isn't my issue. Will is just a Lou Williams type you can find anywhere. But people who say the trade was dumb forget what the trade was actually about.
