Game Thread Game #32 - BLAZERS @ PELICANS - DECEMBER 21, 2021 - TUESDAY - 5:00 PM (PDT) ROOT SPORTS

When is he not out for weird excuses. Dude is always on the injured list for one reason or another

 

I wonder what the fans who don't want a total rebuild want out of this season at this point?

 

yeah, if he can't stay healthy he should not be in our future, as much as I like his play and development. So annoying to see a player out every other game for some reason as a young player.

 

also funny. quick hasn't tweeted or written an article in a week (since dame effectively called him out)

 

The fact that Joe hasn't made a trade in the two weeks he's been GM, while the most likely person to be traded can't be because he can't pass a physical? Let's all chill just a little, obviously when we're dropping games to teams like NOLA we want immediate action but I'm still really hopeful for big moves between the new year and trade deadline that will not only reshape the way this team is playing for the rest of this season but reshape our future chances to contend with Dame.

 

If they wait until the deadline to make a trade, then they're pretty much giving up on the season. The way that this team is currently constructed and playing, they will be way out of the playoff race by the deadline.

 

I want more minute for the DSJ, BM, TW, and Brown. Develop those guys to determine keepers and fits

 

Well the range I gave is a little over a week from now to the deadline. If Cronin hasn't been given the green light to tear it all down, including trading Dame, and start a youth rebuild then he will have to make moves that have this team competitive enough to make up the ground between the time he makes them and the playoffs, for the team to have a chance to win in the playoffs. I honestly think if he doesn't make those moves then he won't retain the job and everyone has to believe this guy wants this job. So I expect moves... I'm just not panicking after 13 days without a move.

 

Don't you want to trade dame though?

If so i don't see that point.

 

the physical isn't mandatory. Teams can waive the physical on an incoming player. In CJ's case a team can ask for all of the medical records on the collapsed lung

 

13 days then but I do think it's logistically easier in the middle of the season to trade a healthy player than one that doctors won't let play.

 

if it was a knee or a shoulder, sure. I'm not sure a collapsed lung without any puncture is that unpredictable. Maybe...I just don't know

 

I think he was sick non covid related.

 

The ones right I would put on the market is CJ Nurk Covington Simons those 4 should bring you something that could help and plus future picks. I am not saying use all them in the same trade. Simons probably will have to with one of the other 3.

 

I will guard Mrs. @THE HCP with my life!

 

*has needed broken up for 5 years.

Neil "Mr. Hubris" Olshey really hosed us, and Dame.

 

No.

No he won't.

Sad.

 

Please. Get Dame his surgery. Clean house. Start next year fresh.

I just hope Cronin wasn't in reality largely responsible for Olshey's roster decisions.

 

Maybe for CJ's lung to fully inflate?

 

Looks like the whole teams missing tonight!
