    Oh no! Politics! It's like kryptonite to some people. It's just the future of the country for others. Lol

    Do it across the board then. Period. I'm tired of the relentless pro Dem stuff and anyone outside of that or pushing back on the gets censored.

    Kinda funny how Dame being talked into sitting out games has resulted in him requesting a trade.

    It is banned. It's fine to do it there is an OT section for it. For fucks sake the thread about the biggest Blazers news in decades does not need it... on either side.

    Saying this for years
    I don't recall saying that. Please stop trying to mischaracterized.

    You said Dame wanted veteran players, the implication that the Blazers weren't doing that for him. I pointed out that we did a lot of that for him, and you immediately moved the goalpost to something along the lines of "that was then, this is now." I responded that Dame's method was part of the thing that got the Blazers and Dame into the situation they were in.

    I didn't have a problem with making a trade involving draft picks. I have a problem with trading multiple draft picks for Robert Covington-level players. If you can't understand the value of picks and the importance of the team over the player if that's what it comes down to, all I have to say is I hope you aren't making personnel decisions anywhere.

    He did no such thing. This dude put his time in like nobody else for not only the franchise, but the damn city. No hate should be tossed his way.

    since Cronin and Schmitz took over, they think they're some type of Draft Gods. They spread lie after lie after lie. Used a sales pitch strategy to make fans believe losing on purpose would instantly bring winning basketball back to Portland.

    Cronin casually skipped the common knowledge part, it takes NBA teams 5-6 years to rebuild through the draft, if they can ever even get it to work.

    Cronin & Schmitz wanted this. They wanted a losing team and lots of lottery balls. They wanted a clean slate. They were sick of Lillard being grumpy. Dame throwing hints at the press that Cronin sucks, was poking holes the PR web the Blazers had spun describing the Blazers being a few pieces away from contending.

    The owner doesn't give a rats ass in all of this. Jody is too busy cashing Blazer checks and purchasing rare penguin skulls on Ebay.

    I completely understand that a full Blazers rebuild was eventually going to happen. I am slightly perturbed the Blazers front office wasted a full year of Lillard's prime with an over the top fake narrative just to sell tickets. Portland acted like they were better then the other bad teams, because they were "building a contender with Lillard."

    The snooty pretending to be good Blazers team is finally over. Now Portland can suck for years, draft great rookies, and hopefully sell this team to a new owner that can remove the Ponzi scheme managers and fake head coach.
