    I don't hate him. He seems like a good guy. He was just in the way.

    I agree with the last part.

    I don't understand the trade right now.

    Most of the team was. The first few games I thought Deni was our best player just miscast in his role.

    Big O -- your making my point for me ... Thanks

    IF Cronin cannot use Jrue either via shuffling the roster around him to be a better fit OR trade him for another piece to help with the re-load cause this team sure as fuck is not rebuilding so Cronin if he uses that word will show just how clueless I have said he has been. However I digress the point is if this move does not lead to either a playoff run with Jrue or another player via another trade using Jrue then this was pointless so that is the gamble hoping to reload instead of fulling investing into a rebuild .

    Yeah, that bastard had nothing to do with the team winning 13+ more games than they were expected to last year!

    I would like to have that optimism. This is truly idiotic on its own. What does this tell Scoot? That he has no future and good luck earning a new big pay day.

    Nah, my dreams were dashed this season. We're no longer trying to build a contender. Just trying to field a team for Chauncey to coach in the play-in.

    That's why he didn't play much after the all-star break.

    I want one of them about as much as I would want Jrue. But Portland Management just put the league on notice they are rudderless if Jrue is not flipped before the draft.

    There is no way Cronin is done here. No way.

    Which one? He was technically traded twice. Keith Lee first, and then Jerry SHCHEehhziehzhsistisnsting once the Keith Lee trade was voided.

    Those 13 or so games were not a result of some master stroke... not from the front office or from Chauncey (who I like). Those wins were the difference between a team predicted to be in a game of capture the Flagg tank and a team that decided to abandon a rebuild before completion and win every game they could.

    It doesn't matter. We're not building a title contender, so I'm just hoping Scoot comes around.

    I can't stand the offense with Simons at the one. Dude struggles to get 5 assists per game.
