    Apparently not. People are peddling Norm sucks now to try to justify our trade.

    Looney Tunes.

    Don't you realize we overvalue our players and Norm and Roco are scrubs?!?! Wow. Stop being a homer.

    2 years on LeVert vs 5 on Powell, though hard to imagine that those extra years are seen as that bad.

    Lottery protected 1st that will probably be in the 20's since the Cavs are nice this season. Pacers also sent out a 2nd rounder in the deal.

    I'd rather have a 1st in the 20's next year instead of Keon Johnson.

    I'm not sure if Norm is better or not, but for sure Levert is not significantly better, if at all, and he fetches back a 1st and two 2nd's

    now, if LAC trade RoCo for a 1st, the progression is complete

    worst player trade in Blazer history?

    Apparently Winslow is better than Roco.

    So if Roco gets traded for a 1st, we surely can trade Winslow for two 1sts. Right?

    Right?!?

    LeVert has legit size for a SG/SF and a contract that is more manageable for a team team that might not want to commit to all the years Norm had.

    Still a better deal than what the Blazers got, but I'm not blow away by the haul the Pacers received.

    We are all aware of the deal. LaVert has never played more than 50 games in a season....and that is what Indiana got back.

    Basically malpractice from our front office and ownership.

    Maybe it is time to trade Dame, CJ, and Nurk. Just clean house. Doesn’t appear we want Cronin making those trades though.

    Bledsoe for Turner

    Incoming posts where people that love Nurkic start saying he is trash and shouldn't even be on an NBA roster to justify the trade.

    Drazen Petrovic for Walter Davis. That has to be near the top. A lot worse than this trade.

    Yeah, I don't want Cronin to touch anything anymore. If we're gonna trade anymore starters, I'd rather another GM do it.
