In my opinion, at least half do. And I'm not saying "negotiate", I'm saying hire them and advise. There are plenty of people who have negotiated with Pat Riley before, plenty of people who are media savvy (and who can win that war), and plenty of people who can help get out our message. It would be foolish to put it all on Joe. I trust him to manage the cap and evaluate the talent.
I'm intrigued. 12 hours after, where do you guys stand on this. If Dame were to say "I'm coming back to Portland" would you forgive and forget? Personally, I'm ready to move on and it'd be a slap in the face if he just did that.
Why not? He’s not old. He’s a really good defender. If his deal isn’t bad, I’d keep him just as an asset that could be traded.
fake 20 is the only real one. Also some of these fake ones just wait for the real one to post and then post something similar
What do folks think of this trade. I think it gets us a Lillard worthy haul. I like Jovic and Duncan Robinson is reasonably young. Simmons can help us tank for a couple of years and then he's a massive expiring and required for the Nets to take Herro, I considered getting two 1sts from the Nets but thought that might be greedy. It might be worth it to them to pay a 1st just to dump Simmons. They have F tons of 1sts and they'd get some cap relief here to boot along with Herro. All those 1sts sure look juicy.

how about we get 5 really good players from 4 different teams, then package it up for Joe to send Dame where he wants to go? If anyone hasn't been following this team, Cronin is on a different level of terrible managing. If an opposing team wants a good Blazer, just toss some cash and draft picks in Joe's direction.
That kid is gonna be a Superstar, I've been saying it since last summer. Love him and I need to change my Avatar although Dame waving goodbye fits for now.
has anybody bothered to check Amick's credibility? Last I remember he was considered to be kind of a hack
I love redemption stories and understand mental issues that mess with mindset, so while I would love to see Simmons get an opportunity here, I really think this team needs shooters who play defense. I think he would get in the way of Scoot and Sharpe driving in the paint. Duncan can shoot but can't play defense. That's a rough duo for this teams needs. I would prefer to see a Cam Johnson + Picks, but Dame said no.
