    Clown is the perfect description, after he ran over to Trey Young laughing on that end of game foul I was so over GP2. It’s like he didn’t care they were losing. Yes these are my opinions from watching, nothing proven to be fact. Still didn’t like seeing him acting all goofy and laughing on the bench while we are getting slaughtered on the court though.

    Right now we got 2 first round picks tankothon got us at number 13 and 19 that of course can change in a pretty good draft.

    Well, Denver did ok with that philosophy a few years back. I remember a thread about it. Most were misses but they got lucky with others. The warriors did as well. Plus they help with trades.

    there were countless team sponsered podcasts determined to push the narrative that Payton was going to fix the Blazers bad defense. Wait until Payton, just be patient.

    Blazer fans were patient, we waited, now Payton is gone. What will the next podcasts be? Be patient Blazer fans, these bad players and 2nd rounders will help Lillard win a championship? We just need more patience?

    I'm sure somebody has already said this but this was a good deal. They realized the Payton signing was a mistake and not only got out from under it but got some picks also. You can't ask for more than that. If only they could have done the same with Nurk! :)

    I bet they tried but no one would bite. I wonder how long we are stuck with Nurk.

    Sounds like we preferred 5 SRPs to getting Wiseman.

    You joined in 2021? Were you here previous to that under a different user name? Your posts seem so familiar.

    I hated the Payton signing and knew he wouldn't matter much in Portland. I wish we'd used that signing slot to get a decent big guy, but given the error I'm glad we got something.

    I think I'd rather have taken Wiseman than the picks, if he were available, but something is better than nothing.

    Did we just effectively trade away all our hustle players? Too much hustle, that was our problem.

    GP2's legacy in Portland is being worth nearly as many 2nd round picks as the number of games he played. I don't see how anyone can be anything less than ecstatic at the outcome.
