Maybe that's what he meant, but those teams never got out of the first round, right? Is that contending?
That can't be it. The Blazers didn't draft any of those guys.
I'm not sure which iteration of the the Blazers you're referring to. Clyde? He came into a pretty stocked team in 1983 that subsequently added Kersey...
There’s a lot of wiggle room in those two qualifiers. If they “pop” to All-Star levels in 3 years. If “the right people” includes very good...
Most of what I would say in response is covered by Pinwheel1’s post. The other is that it’s a much quicker road to relevancy starting from a base of...
Sorry, but this belief in quick turnarounds through drafting very young players is fools gold. I’m as impressed as anyone by the physical abilities...
Yup. And if the Blazers trade Dame away and don’t re-sign Grant, and go full youth movement, that’s essentially what the Blazers will become for the...
Shit-head is a poor name for a baby.
I don't think most teams would have a problem with Norm's average annual salary on the contract Olshey gave him. It was the five year commitment for...
Simons and Herro are young players that some believe have quite a bit of upside. Norm is what Norm is: an established role player. Obviously, on some...
Norm’s a good player, but he’s a tweener. That’s why he comes off the bench. How many bench players in the NBA are there with a 5 year $90M contract?
How bad is a trade that allows you to offload an albatross $90M contract and a player on an expiring contract that you don’t plan to re-sign? Then...
Three guard ROTATION, my friend. I'd like to see Dame and Sharpe to start, then Dame and Scoot, and then Scoot and Sharpe when Dame goes out.
Is that all? I would have guessed 6'7 at a minimum. The team needs to employ Mike Barrett to help keep track of these things.
I don’t know whether Dame stays or goes either, but I don’t think yesterday was quite the watershed moment that some around here believe. Either way,...
Posts can cause that problem.
I think a deal can be had for OG with Ant and future picks. He’d be a major upgrade at starting 3. Keep Winslow, resign Grant and Thybulle, and add...
Okay, now that the debate over drafting Scoot is over, I’m starting to get excited about a three guard rotation of Dame, Sharpe and Scoot. That...
I don’t think this is exactly correct. I think the decision has been made, at least for now, to keep Scoot and include him in the rotation rather...
The decision on whether Dame gets traded has not been made. The off-season doesn’t end with the draft and I’m sure Cronin has discussed moves to add...
