A hammer blow to the side of the head can fix that.
Correct. That's what I meant when I said winning a play-in spot. I should have just stopped at winning a play-in. I can see why you might have...
Because trades are the only realistic way to get top talent here. He sure as hell better not be planning on playing the weak-assed FA market this...
After these trades, I'm depressed in Portland.
I don't think so. I'd bet that Cronin has a move to make to add talent before the deadline.
Don't forget that lotter status is not just about the record. 1-14 go to the non-playoff teams. The Pelicans could end up with a record in the 8-14...

Maybe we can hire some G-league bigs to help out.
Tough call. With a healthy Zion, I'd lean slightly that direction. Of course healthy Zion and/or Kawhi is pretty much a unicorn situation, so I'm not...

I’m sure Dame will be thrilled with the prospects of a first round pick two years from now helping the Blazers to build a contender in Dame’s window.
Ditto. And with good reason. ;)
A pathetic what?
