Change what? We are tanking for high level talent. That’s a good plan which you agree with. You are too hard on Sharpe. In his 3rd season, he is leading the team in scoring. He had back to back 30 point games in wins when Simons was out. A couple games ago, he had a good one. So it’s not one a month like you say. And if he was consistent, we wouldn’t be able to tank. Be patient. A lot of great players take 3-4 years to get there. Sharpe and Scoot would be further along if Simons was out of the picture. Scoot’s shooting had massively improved before he got hurt.
I'm not sure the arena upgrades matter much when we're talking about NBA teams being worth 4 billion. If they have 9 years of tanking by then might be so much less fan interest the new Blazer owners can claim that is the reason to relocate the team. Just not sure what city would make sense to relocate. Vegas and Seattle supposedly are getting expansion franchises. But if that doesn't happen obviously they'd be options. Maybe San Diego with the Chargers gone. Probably just comes down to what local ties a new owner has. Jody might try to hold onto this team for 20 years though. Also have no idea what happens if she dies, would assume someone else just runs Paul Estate but they might be even more inclined to keep control of the team and those fat checks coming to them personally.
What do Ant Ayton Grant have to do with tanking? I'm fine with losing - but the group of vets Cronin has assembled makes this team painful to follow.
Mostly still putting all my hope in Sharpe and Clingan (not so much an offensive powerhouse, but defensive beast in his case) and to a lesser extent Scoot. Praying that no matter where we are in the standings at the end, we get all the lottery luck.
Yeah that may be right. I just think if those upgrades are done it doesn't mean a team is staying and if the upgrades are delayed doesn't mean they're leaving..... The relocation decision would dwarf any moda upgrade $.
We’re not tanking for 9 years. Also-didn’t people say Moda was louder than ever in the Clingan bear tr
Deni is fine to watch but he's not the type of player to change an unwatchable team to watchable. He's a great side dish, but that's not helpful when the main is crap.
Great attitude King. There are some fair weather fans here who like to think they are diehard fans and should dictate to us diehard fans how we should allow ourselves to be entertained by the team. It’s comical really.
Same thing as others claiming some Blazer fans are bad fans because they want good draft picks to eventually build a winning team instead of the shit talent the Blazers have today. It's a personal preference, nobody is a better or worse fan because they have a different preference with how the team is built.
And yet here you are posting at how the team sucks and we should’t spend time or energy on them. Yet you are spending time and energy trying to tell diehard fans to be more fair weather fan like yourself.
Who has claimed that those wanting a good draft pick are bad fans? I have not seen or read that at all. I have seen we should not tank inorganically. But if we play the right players and they play hard and we lose and get a great draft pick, I am unaware of any one person who would say thats bad. Not sure what you are trying to defend…. People who only come on here to tell others the team sucks and they shouldn't pay attention are trolls. Period.
.... we were talking about the actual viewing of the game. It was RIGHT in the reply of what I posted. They LITERALLY talked about the VIEWING of the game. To which I replied to it. Please do a better job of reading. It's greatly appreciated.
It is hard with your posts. So many start out in similar fashion i merely gloss over the redundant and constant, “they suck, stop giving them money” narrative you run with so often. Forgive me for being victim to your pattern…
