    While I'm not a fan of many of Cronin's moves - its also hard to know where Cronin decisions ended and Kolde/Vulcan/Jody began. Certainly possible many of the dumbest moves were from other decision makers.

    So in that possible case changing GM's would be somewhat irrelevant, and sticking with the same GM once we get new owners might have a massive improvement.

    What results? Do you want to go back and see what our record was the past three years?

    Your the one who said "likely the worst GM in the league"

    That's clearly not the case.

    Now is he a good, average, or bad GM? Totally different metrics. Some decent arguments to put him in any of those 3 buckets.

    No, these are the obvious examples of how wrong you are, or at the very least, how bombastic and unreasonable your take is.

    He wants to be with his family in Portland.

    He will get paid not playing. He will rehab in Portland while unemployed, and join a contender next summer.

    You said "likely the worst GM in the league" and I find that absurd.

    You set the bar and I was merely pointing out that there are FAR worse GMs in the league. Joe is mid.

    Fischer is suggesting Portland as a Dame possibility as well.

    I will say, Deni and Toumani are EXACTLY the kind of players he needed to play next to in his prime. He now has a choice to pick his next destination. Having Dame on a relatively cheap contract in 26-27 would be HUGE, whether we keep Scoot/Jrue or not.

    If there's one thing Dame is not, it's a bitch. Bite your tongue.

    Does Bobobrewski work for the Oregonian?

    If not - why should he have to do anything.

    Saying get in the way of Jrue is wild when that MF doesn't even want to be here. Ship him TF out if you ask me. I'd MUCH rather have Dame back.

    People like Dame have a hard time accepting or even realizing they are not the same anymore. You see many boxers fight well into their 40s. Can't blame them but my guess is Dame rehabs this year w/o a team and try to get one last non-minimum deal next summer. He will retire a Blazers but now is not the time

    That was refuted.
