Couldn’t agree more. Portland staged one of the more blatant and embarrassing tank jobs in NBA history, and losing this draft pick is the ironic price for that.
So do they leave the interim tag on him, or publicly give him a vote of confidence by giving him the job?
I have no clue while I think the Cronin trashing is over-the-top right now, I'd prefer a different GM and soon. I'm pretty worried about Cronin managing the draft pick and the off-season
What does Cronin have to say now? He is a horrible GM and this years trade deadline fiasco will elicit laughter and head shakes and wtf was he thinking for years to come. He should fucking resign in monday. He has no business running a team.
They didn't lose the draft pick, it just goes to '25. Plus they still have their pick which, who knows, could be awesome. Hey Congrats to CJ & the Pelicans. But they still have a who knows, with Zion ( He still looks huge) and may not want to re-sign there. And a fan base that doesn't care half the time.
Man ,I must be the most stubborn, ignorant, blind follower of the NBA/Blazers on this here forum. In spite of everything, (they lost a draft pick) I am still so ecstatic that CJ, Norm, and covington are gone, and I am thrilled with Hart, Winslow, the potential of Louzada, and the elevation of Anfernee (don't call me 'Ant') Simons, that, well, I still love the trades! Not "rose colored" at all, but an honest belief. I guess this ol' blind guy sees something most of you don't, even though we had a monumental game thread last night, which does little more than prove this place prefers to participate in self created misery. I'm sticking with my "addition by subtraction" theory, and the belief that roco does more harm than good and norm is a average player, CJ had to go. Shouldn't be too hard to improve on that. We shall see.
Don't forget BG for Kemp. Every basketball player should take cocaine! I can't believe you think otherwise. It makes them play better! I hope he shares his habit with the rest of the team. Go Blazers. Whoooooooooo!
By all accounts BG was leaving no matter what. In effect, they got Kemp for nothing - and somehow still managed to overpay!
I didn’t want Cronin from the get go and I still don’t! I don’t want anyone who has any business with Olshey.
Exactly. Why think that we can trade an allstar level player and get a star player in return? How ridiculous!
