    Remember when we went to that meet-up with Brian Wheeler and, I think it was Bobby Medina who was there said: (correct me if it was someone else)

    In the NBA "you want to be really good, or really bad."

    The Blazers are definitely really bad!

    This needs to be the entire season.

    Just fucking suck. Lose every game. Any wins are the organizations fault.

    Will you PLEASE go find your posts on here about how we should have drafted them instead in the draft thread from ‘22?

    Eh, so a few guys drafted below him have been better. And his scoring is right in line with the rest of the guys drafted around where he was drafted.

    He almost certainly has more athletic ability

    Doesn't seem like that huge of a miss, honestly, considering the situation he's had. When he's been given the keys he's looked great.

    Scoot has 2 guys with more points per game and he's tops in assists per game. And they have more minutes. Same thing. He's had stretches where he's looked real good.

    Scoot and Sharpe need the keys.

    Now everybody agrees we should get our asses handed to us the next two games against the Wolves right? Should come as NO surprise right?

    There isn’t currently a single guy to feel great about. Not a coach, a front office guy, not a player, and not the owners. You could legitimately say this team has the least promising future of any team in the nba. Boston would not trade Payton Pritchard for Scoot.

    Not only do the Blazers have no talent. Now they have no talent that has been scouted!

    Enjoy what you can this season folks.

    Go Blazers!

    Kjironman is a fan!!!

    Edit- Lottery Gods please be kind!

    Even in the worst years of the JailBlazers era we had much more talent on the team. Miles had insane athleticism we had seen over multiple seasons on the court, ZBo was an unstoppable force inside, Travis Outlaw had the athletic potential way above Jermaine Oneal, Martell Webster was young with a lazer accurate shooting stroke, even an underwhelming sophomore Telfair had enough untapped upside to be flipped for a lottery pick that became Brandon Roy. Those rosters had major flaws too, but there was real potential and talent mixed in with it.

    Those were some of the worst Blazer rosters since I've been a fan over the last 35 years. This current Blazers roster is nowhere close to the talent of any of those rosters unfortunetly. Today is truly the dark days of being a Blazer fans and I'm impressed with anyone that follows this team. My concern isn't for the next 3 years as we're obviously going to suck for all of them - its concern for the next decade and beyond as I question the leadership of this franchise from the top of ownership all the way down to the GM. Will they ever be capable of building a talented roster?

    Exactly my point - 100% of the roster, even at the start of last season, has been assembled by Joe Cronin.

    Thus your justifications of what "Cronin was stuck with inheriting" no longer apply. When Cronin did the Clippers trade? Ok, fine you can try and use that as an excuse back then. Eventually those excuses end and a GM gets judged on the multiple years of work they have done. We are certainly at that point with Joe Cronin.

    why should he? we're just fans here, speculating

    More to the point: we aren't being paid millions of dollars a year to make the best draft decisions. Olshey was; Cronin is

    That's not my job. Picking talent is the FOs job. There were red flags with Shae. I love his potential but he has to stay healthy and on the court 30+ min a game.

    Exactly. Cronin and the scouts are being paid handsomely to make the right picks - and they are failing. I'm being paid to do something else, and if I were doing as poorly at it as those people are in their roles, I'd be on my way out.

    That's silly. We have some solid players. This isn't the Sergei Monya/Juan Dixon years. Those were BLEAK. It takes genuine coaching talent to lose this badly. We actually had more on-court talent than the Grizzlies tonight.

    Looked like you were posting as if it was obvious that we would have picked other players and didn’t. My bad…..
