    it was all essentially one trade that included Allen going to Phoenix. Cronin could NOT have landed Ayton without Dame's salary as the primary ballast that allowed the Blazers to add back the 68M in salary they did in that trade. Nurk-Little-Keon was only 25M going out. Cronin coveted Ayton; there were rumors about him wanting Ayton for a year or two before the trade

    weren't there even some rumors about Cronin talking to Dame about Ayton and that Dame didn't want Portland to add Ayton, especially for Nurkic? If true, Cronin sure solved that problem...and created another it seems

    It's going to be good to get a glimpse of this team sans Simons for awhile.

    He's listed as day to day, so probably not long, or maybe even ever. I hope he strings together some good games then we trade him.
