I feel pretty much exactly the way I felt on draft day. I'm glad they took the guy they thought was best.
If we drafted both of them that would have been a fail. That's also not a likely scenario.
My goal was never to get Flagg. That would have been a nice surprise, but I would have never counted on it, just like I would never count on winning...
You try to collect high lottery picks because they are more likely to turn into stars, not so you can trade them. There will be some who will...
More like Sebastian Telfair, ideally... Maybe Grayson Allen for Camara...
Yeah, I don't disagree with any of that. I just don't have much hope that they're going to actually contend with this group. We are now just kind of...
And that is expected to happen. The thing is, there are always teams who think they can succeed where we fail with those guys. So even if we were to...
I didn't suggest a neverending tank fest. Blazers tanking 3-4 years was clearly not enough if they aren't in contention for a championship within...
That Blazers team had the best player in the world in his prime before Walton went down. As well as one of the toughest players ever in his prime who...
All of those teams had better talent than we do. Yes, if you don't get extremely lucky or have any other assets you need to tank longer than 3 or 4...
I think there would be more losses and a brighter future if Cronin had his way.
I didn't say better. I said a better talent situation. Meaning we have no hope at competing. We're literally hoping to make the play-in so we can...
My statement was about every team in the league. Not just 10 teams that you pulled out of your ass. There are at least five or six teams with...
The Blazers are not in better talent situation than at least five or six other teams (maybe more), IMO. And we aren't a destination market. If we...
Exactly why I don't do it. We may get lucky and "pick" a guy right over the pros sometimes, but it's just dumb luck when that happens.
We don't have enough talent on the roster to realistically build a championship team. That means we didn't draft enough talent yet. Thereby, we...
I don't think that's on Cronin.
I think Joe is fine. I don't think he's been in a situation where he was free to build the team that he wants. I think there's been too much...
It really doesn't matter. We're not going to get a good draft pick unless we get incredibly lucky. And we're not winning a series with this roster...
Dame and Jrue are old. They get injured and need time off.
