I never had an issue with Roy until he started whining in the media about getting an extra year on his contract. He kept saying he wanted to get the...
This is quite a spin. The reality is that most players the Blazers have tried to sign in free agency while Lillard has been here have flatly said no...
I also enjoyed the Lillard-less Blazers, especially that 4-game win streak before they shut everyone down. It was the first time in quite awhile that...
Lillard will never win a championship in Portland as long as he is on a max contract...that you can book. Interesting that you brought up Melo, the...
Yes, every year they pay Lillard the max is putting off contention for at least that long. Meanwhile, how many first-round draft picks have been...
I agree that Olshey was a horrible GM, but the worst mistake he ever made was making Lillard out to be a superstar and paying him as such when Dame...
Shouldn't the person arguing to give Lillard everyone else's lunch have the burden to justify that? I mean, he played in 29 games last season while...
It's really simple math: in a salary cap/ luxury tax league, if you pay one player all the money, and especially if that one player is not a dominant...
You don't really have to make assumptions when you have a decade of data to draw from. Paying Lillard a large percentage of the team's salary does...
What a terrible decision, if true. Did Cronin really do all of those trades and shed all of that salary just so he could pay the extra to Lillard?...
If you count Bledsoe's entire salary to take back Durant, that puts the Blazers far beyond the luxury tax, and most likely for the duration of...
I thought Bledsoe only counted for his guaranteed amount? I don't know why the Nets would want him anyway. Same with Hart- seems like all we can...
If they are both healthy is a big if for guys that have been injured for a large part of the season recently. Also, I can't tell if you are factoring...
I think it's legitimate to point out that ring chasers might come to Portland on cheap contracts. On the other hand, I can't remember that ever...
People keep saying that, as they said it when Paul was alive, and they ignore the fact that ownership - the people whose money it is- clearly care...
Okay, fair enough, but how much time would Durant and Lillard have to get into a rhythm? And meanwhile, what would trading away assets to acquire...
Kyrie was healthy for the playoffs. He played with Durant for two years into the playoffs, so we have a pretty good sample. I don't share your...
We've already seen what KD did with Kyrie - not much. I'm less worried about if Dame would get mad and more concerned with my team being good from...
Ha, well I agree with this part, anyway. I thought they should have traded Dame last summer when his value was significantly higher.
I'm not on the KD to Portland train. We can see what one bloated $45-50 million contract is doing to the team depth. I can't imagine what two would...
