Can’t tell you how much I hate this idea. What’s the point? Doesn’t the NBA already have a championship series? The NBA became a circus the minute...
Of course it would have. When you ask the question directly—i.e., “Joe, are you going to consider offers from other teams?”—and Cronin replies by...
That is not an answer. It may only mean Cronin is going to hold out until Miami gives him a deal he can swallow.
The most obvious question wasn’t even asked, which is a reflection of Portland’s lapdog media. Cronin should have been asked if he was going to...
You can’t be serious. Walton was the straw that stirred the drink on that championship team. He was the engine that made the car go. The whole...
Did he actually say that?
Portland hates statues, too, Dame. They pull them down and stomp on them.
Tanking was stupid, but it has nothing to do with Lillard’s value on the open market, and it certainly doesn’t mean Miami is entitled to get him for...
This whole thing is bullshit. Lillard and his agent don’t have the right to pick one team and say he must be traded there. And they don’t have the...
Agreed, but he did them a disfavor by naming Miami as the team he wants to go to. This will severely limit what Portland might be able to get for him.
Lillard wants to join a team that was just in the finals, which is what Durant did when he went to Golden State. Both wanted the magic ticket to a...
It’s not exactly the same, but Lillard’s request to join Miami sure reminds me of Durant going to the Warriors after they won a title. You can’t...
Huh?
Yeah? What about Lillard’s obligation to Portland? He signed a contract to play for the Blazers for three more years, and now he’s walking out on...
I think that’s possible. The idea of an instant upgrade at three key positions this coming year might be too tempting for the Spurs to resist.
The stupidity of the Blazers is mind-boggling. Why would you sign Grant to a $160 million deal unless you knew for sure that Lillard was staying?
I’m calling it now. Cronin—the most inept GM in the NBA—won’t be able to make a deal with any of the teams Dame is interested in, so Dame will move...
Players like Lillard don’t come along every day. A guy who can score 71 points on any given night and hit a big shot when you need it is a rare...
You mean like intentionally losing games for two years in a row? Is that your definition of “integrity”?
Portland has intentionally lost games for two years in a row. I don’t think we have a sterling record for integrity.
