Yeah thats my worry; as though even if Sharpe becomes an MVP, Ant an allstar, and the Blazers draft 2 stars this summer the team will be turned into shit from horrible ownership.
I haven't seen the guy out of warmups so who really cares? We're giving minutes to a guy who gets dunked on by Donte DiVencenzo... Most of us were screaming to the heavens for a competent backup big man but here we are. And here we are still. James Weisman would've given them a reason to play someone else besides Drew. Badji does not.
It's not as though everything was perfect then Quicks quote came out to spoil the show. The Blazers team is performing terrible and changing strategic directions multiple times a year. Multiple players are saying how they want to leave for the second year in a row. It looks just like those shitty run organizations. Yes some of it is reading between the lines so maybe me or others are misinterpreting. But its at the least very concerning.
We had a million 2nd rounders. They were just in the form of a GP2. Cronin should be FIRED. Sadly, this won't happen until Jody Sells the team. I can't stand that FASCIST Phil Knight, but he'd at least go into the luxury tax to put a great team together...
I agree. He's clueless & lazy & arrogant. He's not respected because of that and has limited access to the team and no real concrete inside info.
Could be said they used him? They might have known all along he was going back and they just did another GM a favor and collected their fee? GS has to cover that contract now. Not the Blazers. Now the Blazers have a little breathing room and some picks they didn't have.
so....Payton confirms he is an asshole. He took 8.3M from Portland (pro-rated); he then faked/exaggerated/lied-about injury; he then went thru motions on the floor the few games he did play. He only played in 15 of 55 games. Portland paid 5.6M for 61 points and 39 rebounds. After shitting on the Blazers while there, he shits on them more after leaving fuck that guy...I have no respect at all for him
I've watched him a bunch and he's MUCH better than 5 2nds on a team who doesn't need picks. I'd take a flyer on the #2 pick for a guy who wanted to leave and never wanted to play here in the first place.
