    Oh, I wasn't disagreeing with what you said. Just saying that the front office doesn't care if the team is tuning him out, it gets them the results they want.

    Disagree. There's effort (on some players' part) but nobody seems to know how to play basketball.

    Lazy Jodee will probably hire Jesus the Toilet Cleaner to be GM next so she can pay him minimum wage and not have to be bothered conducting an actual search.

    Hire Mike Rice Jr to coach, just to abuse the players for awhile...

    Everyone scoffs and laughs when our bench is in, bitches and conplains, but wants them to start, when we trade away other starters?! Haha

    if the team has given up on him, the desire to lose this year is irrelevant.

    Nope, which is IMHO, on the coaching staff. It's not that they lose, it's how they lose.

    And this team already is phoning it in.

    But I know Danny and the people working for the team will say they're tired, or young or whatever BS they have to spin.

    Memphis is missing like 5 players, and still pasted the shit out of the team.

    I'm afraid we might be stuck with the Ant Grant Ayton trio for a long time.

    Call me old-fashioned but usually teams EITHER play the vets OR play to lose. Somehow we manage to do both at once. Sadly we don't manage to develop the young players, but then maybe playing for Chauncey isn't the way to develop.

    They need to give refunds at the door on the way out.

    The league isn't going to allow it to happen. If they did, they wouldn't be worried about a team being in Portland.

    I just assumed they’re bored and keeping themselves entertained.

    Swear to god, the inferiority complex among fans is legendary here.

    If the league didn't care about Portland being in Portland, they wouldnt' be in Portland.

    Without question we're the worst.

    We can't even commit to rebuilding, we're paying Ant Grant Ayton 90 million. We started the off-season in the luxury tax and had to cough up two lottery picks to cut Brogdon salary.

    We're so bad it's comical, like you almost couldn't design a worse roster if you had a blindfolded monkey picking names out of a hat.
