    I guess that’s your opinion.

    You can’t be right because your opinions are usually obtuse!

    I would like to hear it myself and not take your word for it. But yeah if that’s what he said, that’s what he said.

    Okay I guess Joe said all of his chips. I was wrong.

    We better go tell him he has to trade Shaedon. He doesn’t want to be a liar. All of his chips mean all of his chips. Time to send out Shae, Scoot, Nurk, Ant and anyone else we can send out to get Dame some veterans. Time to go all in baby! Maybe we can still convince Dame to stay.

    apparently, the mythology of Cronin trading away Hart is a facts-free zone

    It's okay to accept that I've won, Nathaniel.

    Save your hyperbole for your podcast, guy. Nobody said that.

    I wouldn't trust Joe Cronin to make a trade to save my life.

    Well "all his chips" is "all his chips" dude. Isn't that the point? People are saying he's lying because he didn't push in ALL his chips?

    Do we have to push all our chips on to save his life? Just some chips?

    What if we just wait for a better deal?

    You say that now, but wait until you get stuck up by an armed mad man and the only way out is to make my favorite NBA franchise make a green trade.

    This conundrum is a lot more common than you think.

    What Cronin has done by getting Grant and Thybulle is a good thing.
    That injuries happened and they tanked two years in a row and got a little unlucky to get 7 but made the right pick with Shaedon, and then got the 2nd best player in Scoot ... well, that's good, too.
    And now that Lillard will be traded, eventually, Cronin needs to get the best return feasible. I believe he wanted to build around Lillard, but he made a good move with each draft.

    I appreciate that Bishop has taken the time to make the point of Thybulle being part of the Josh Hart trade along with getting Murray.
    National sports people don't do their research and miss what fans of the Blazers understand. Hart was gone after last year. Cronin made the pragmatic move and the players returned are good to go.

    48 hours after Lillard said he wanted a trade, I was over the loss. I'm prepared for the team to lose a lot. I'm also prepared to really enjoy the team.
