    The rest of the league is laughing at us. They think that Norm and RoCo are great additions.

    This was his post trade comment

    “The Trail Blazers would like to thank Norman Powell and Robert Covington for the many contributions they made on the floor and in this community,” said Interim General Manager Joe Cronin. “Norman Powell scored 1,206 points in 67 games with us with a beautiful blend of explosiveness and efficiency. Robert Covington’s unique talents shined with his impressive mix of 214 3-pointers, 175 steals and 147 blocks in 118 games. We wish both guys the very best moving forward.”

    I would like to memorialize Joe Cronin
    1) I'd like to make Feb. 4th, Joe Cronin day - lest we forget.
    2) I'd like to verbize Joe Cronin. On Feb. 4th, the Blazers were Croninned.

    They missed Lawrence Frank snickering about the scam he just pulled over our amateur.

    Usually the team that gets the best player in the trade has won the deal.

    Not only did the Clippers get the best player in the trade, but they got the TWO best players in the trade. Just an utter failure.

    Don’t Fire Cronin… The truth is that Blazers need new Owner.

    This is the real truth. This was collusion between Microsoft fortunes. We need new ownership.

    When he was hired I said it was a scam. (look it up if you don't believe it)

    This was a spite hire and a deliberate "up yours" to the fans move. My family wonders how I went from a long time fan to hating this franchise. :rolleyes2:

    I don't know what Cronin is thinking...... if I were in his position and Jody told me to do this stupid trade, I'd quit. He's killing his credibility in the league. Who the hell would hire this guy now?

    I think we all conveniently forgot that Cronin was the genius cap guy that thought throwing 70+ mil at Evan Turner and Allen Crabbe was a good idea.
