Exclusive Joe Cronin presser

Here's the video of the presser for those that missed it.

 

Hmmmm if I try to link to a specific time it breaks the link. Sorry. I tried to start the video when he walks in.

3:12 is when he starts.

 

Givony from Draft Express on Sportscenter said we had the best draft. Yet it's hard to be excited.

 

I like Joe! Way better than Hollywood Neil… Joe is a blue collar guy. He makes the tough decisions that are best for the team and doesn’t let media bully him.

 

wait wait wait.

what "tough" decision has he made? he has damn near lost every trade at both deadlines, and didn't bother picking up his phone during both drafts.

 

The end result is Sharpe and Scoot… so don’t know what we lost.

 

that PC made my night worse. @Natebishop3 why do you put me through this directionless bullshit again?

 

dame.

and a shit ton of games.

 

A 33 year old who has never won anything making 50 mil per year… ok

 

Nope. The person that might have lost Dame is NeO. Cronin is the guy that's doing the cleanup after that mess. It's a shame people complain that when that mess is cleaned up - it does not immediately becoms an ideal mountain top in the Alps with flower fields and the sound of music track.

 

Sorry you know me... I love to analyze and over analyze interviews.

 

cronin has had 2 trade deadlines and 2 drafts, but still the blame is on olshey.

what "mess" was cronin cleaning tonight? he built almost this entire roster on his own and lost a record number of games to tank while lying through his teeth about adding vets and size.

 

Givony continues to do his buddy Schmitz a solid

 

The idea that the mess was going to be cleaned up on a dime. The mess is still based on what he inherited, he said from the start it will take a while, he was right, but the blazers now have a real foundation for the future, they didn't before.

 

He's not the only people giving us an A.

 

I don't think Cronin is awesome, but to pretend like this roster isn't asset weak because of what it took to get off 3 bad contracts, two years ago, is a bit naive. The impacts of stuff like that is likely to last many years, there is a butterfly effect when you start out from behind.

 

For sure... I'm simply pointing out Givony is team Schmitz/Cronin.

 

I think he has been given his marching orders and he's trying to improve the team within the constraints of those orders.

It's like watching Moneyball. He's having to ask other teams to stock his coke machine for a year.

 

Let's be honest on paper that might be true but at what cost -- Dame saying good bye is not worth it -- PERIOD

However we are not at that point and there still is time for this to be repaired but we will need a miracle and Cronin to grow a brain so not holding my breath on that one.
