According to Quick's new column: http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/index.ssf/2011/01/trail_blazers_big_changes_on_t.html
Al blew it when he traded Bayless, so he is defensive. Trading older for younger or picks is great though, and I am glad he is at least understanding that this team will be average at best the rest of the year.
Wow lotto for next 5 years has been decided. Let's see how u all feel when we are year 3 of being the new twolves.
Seems like he has his head on straight... He should be defensive about that Bayless trade though. That was straight up dumb.
So since cho is blowing it up..... I guess wins no longer matter. Therefore us concerned about batums MRI was all for not. Nobody should care about wins. We are in the 8th seed but obviously cho has decided that winning is not that important. Why should fans spend money on a garbage product?
Doesn't bother me. I'll just look at it the same way I'm looking at it now... The timing wasn't right. The Thunder were able to rebuild through the draft. The key is having intelligent people in your front office. We would be a contender right now if our guys weren't injury prone. It was a risk that KP took, and it worked out in the short term, but now we're seeing the consequences of those decisions. I'm not going to get bent out of shape or stress over this team anymore. Sports are meant to be fun, and getting in a funk because the team didn't live up to the hopes and dreams of this fan base is just shooting ourselves in the foot.
Fool. It wasn't hard to see that they'd be a playoff team with CP3 back from injury. You were looking at the 15th pick at best and I'm sure 15-18 are going to be occupied from the bottom playoff teams in the east. Not expecting anything great back for Miller/Camby/Joel if they are traded, which is a big negative.
Re: So since cho is blowing it up..... Now that's a stupid, reactionary, no thought applied post - about normal for you i guess. I like a GM who does not focus on a "quick fix" for a few more wins this season when we have no chance in the playoffs and it would be at the likely expense of not trading for assets to helps us have more wins over the next several years. Get a clue Mixum.
Do tell, good sir. I'm curious what you've read in the tea leafs about my inner workings as a human being.
If the being in the lotto for 5 years goes the same way your "no playoffs" prediction did last couple of years - it does not bother me one little bit.
Sorry I don't wanna be the fucking twolves. All you fools drinking the cho kool aid will be crying to fire cho when it's year 3 in the lotto. I saw this exact same plan with John Nash and the same fools bought it then. You need amazing luck to get out of lotto hell. And winning while retooling should always be the choice. This plan is for bad gms with non trading skills and pansy ass fans.
