    You must be forgetting Blazers legend Justin Minaya.

    He is the BEST signing for our tanking pursuits.

    Warriors have very little to offer and that was when I thought they might be a spot for Grant but Lauri is a better player then Grant so IF they did not have enough for Grant and Ainge is not a fool then Warriors are dreaming unless I am missing something.

    I don't get it.... he's a nice player but he's not worth what Ainge is going to be charging.

    Lauri will need to be extended soon and I suspect Utah doesn't want to pay what he will command. That's why I suspect the high asking price is just a negotiation technique

    Klay Thompson getting replaced by Grant is basically a lateral move at this point. Probably even an upgrade.

    WE were, it just turns out that JOE and before him NEIL either were not or just really suck when the pressure is on.

    Panic mode got us Roco and Nance for 3 first round picks.

    Yeah and that was with the guy we've got steering the whole fucking franchise as the number two guy in charge. They panicked by trying to plug leaks in a sinking ship with plugs that were nowhere close to being big enough to keep it afloat. Olshey was pathetic and hopefully his ego was so huge that what he did for years wasn't any kind of reflection of his second in command. Though I'm not very confident that Joe didn't have some hand in those shitty moves you just referenced.

    I’d take this post down. People have lost their jobs for less.

    We were in panic mode to get something decent around Lillard for several offseason and we completely shit the bed.

    It went from thinking we were going to put something good around him, to just re-shuffling the deck for 3 straight offseasons.
