    So, the guy hired and given a shit team and then forced to tank for two seasons, forced management to continue to pull players to stop winning, is being called out by a bunch of forum dwellers. Fucking brilliant. This is the world we live in.

    Well, we know the response from Miami. "Based on today's game, our offer is the starting five of our Summer League team for Dame. You're welcome."

    We can’t have Orlando Robinson.

    Lol

    Orlando Robinson: "Yeah, we just beat Portland's ass!"

    Riley: "You have been traded to Portland."

    Orlando Robinson: "Shit."

    Technically this is correct.
    However Miami could place Orlando on waivers & Portland could claim him prior to being a FA

    How so?

    Waiver claims are based on w/L records.
    Only Houston, Detroit, Charlotte, & SA could 'steal' him. None of those teams are likely to claim him on waivers

    Only Detroit would likely not claim him

    His contract is dirt cheap and he just came off a great summer league. No chance he doesn't get picked up.

    Yes, they are. I could not believe my ears when that guy gushed about how much Kevin Love is loved and revered in Portland. WTF? First I've ever heard of it. More like he's a forgotten UCLA turncoat who nobody liked in the first place.
