    Lillard is a little delusional, isn’t he?

    i suppose he could have remained silent, but short of that, i expect nothing less from our leader.

    If you are asking who Bill Simmons is, he's the founder of The Ringer https://www.theringer.com/ it's quite a big presence in the world of sports journalism and has a presence in other areas of journalism. Before The Ringer, Simmons ran Grantland for ESPN, before that he wrote for ESPN as The Sports Guy. He's the author of two best sellers "Now I Can Die in Peace" about the Red Sox 2004 World Series victory and being a Boston sports fan, after that he wrote "The Book of Basketball: The NBA according to the Sports Guy".

    He's fairly well known and pretty prolific.

    We aren't tanking. We're "evaluating."

    Frustrating year and I think next season will be too. Nothing will stop me from being a fan but it would be nice to see a ray of light somewhere and I aint finding a thing to give me a real bounce.

    Agreed.... the shorter the contract gets, the shorter the leash.

    the future of this team is at winning crossroads no matter which route they take.
    -Lose a few games and keep the draft pick? WIN
    -Make playoffs and Chicago gets their pick? Oh, well that frees up future tradable assests. BIG WIN
    -Go full tank and draft a top 7 ?? SUPER WIN

    everything is peachy, Go Blazers !!

    Thanks. Try the veal. My rule is to never refer to him the same way twice. Cronin is keeping me on my toes, linguistically.
