    Talk about not aging well.
    Dumbest thread in the history of threads.
    Of any kind.
    Sports, music, movies, politics, fashion, taxes, food/drink, gas prices, drugs, sex, traffic laws, real estate, The Kennedy assasination, or men on the moon.
    Bad thread.......Bad Bad Bad......

    You guys need to calm down. Winning a few games doesn’t completely turn around the fact that we didn’t get great value for Norm and RoCo. This is such a small sample size. Wait until the end of the season before you start crowing. This could very easily be flipped back on you in a couple months.

    Welp

    Getting rid of CJ was brilliant

    And about 3 years too late. At least Joe could see the obvious - unlike Neil Purgatory

    true, but we all have the right to change our minds... especially with new data.

    Interesting... I don't think I've said much of anything about Cronin in the past week.

    I bashed him pretty hard when the trades were announced though. The Norm and RoCo trade was a stinker.

    Typical blazer fans. Puffing out their chests over meaningless games to say, "I tOlD yOu So"

    I'll say again, if Portland ends up trading CJ for Hart + lottery pick + 18M in salary relief next year + 50M over 2 years, that's a damn good trade

    He made a trade that was set up to hurt his own team, the better the other team did. Where was the contingencies for reward for the assets he traded that helped the other team? He did it completely backwards.

    Finally, something probably everyone on the board agrees with. Maybe we should thank Cronin for providing us with Unity...in our universal hatred of his failures.

    He must be fired. No other way around it.

    I think we now have to trade our pick in order to try bringing in a star for Dame. Fuck the draft.

    Both moves were amateur hour.

    Zero control over draft picks other than hoping an improved Pels team would continue to lose.

    You know what’s next from this green GM right?

    Yup, prepare for our pick to be dealt for Jerami Grant.

    Cronin shoulda been fired for proposing the Clippers trade.

    But someone approved it, and she can't be fired.

    Fans are debating if Cronin should be fired. I'd say yes. But that doesn't matter.

    Other fans debate if Lillard should be traded. Id lean yes but it doesn't matter.

    This franchise can't contend and it can't rebuild successfully with current management and ownership.

    Welcome to the dark decade of being a Blazers fan. Where months later we look back at Neil's tenure as the good times.

    This sucks. Not only do we not have the Pels pick, we still owe Houston a pick. Blazers are fucked two ways from Sunday.
