Had Dame not been shut down, and Grant as well , i clearly doubt they wouldn't have at least made the playin.
#3 pick is the 2nd highest pick the Blazers have had since 1984. That's a great opportunity to take a swing to knock it out, fastball right up the middle. Trading it for a veteran single isn't what this franchise needs.
They Tanked as a purpose to add assets to become more competitive. I Said PLAYERS, plural. And add a tweak , here or there. Meaning what Joe and his Staff are trying to do.
Yes, i meant Playin. As in you have a chance to get in the playoffs. Add a few PLAYERS, plural, and a tweak, here or there, and maybe you can contend. You're going to disagree no matter what they do, unless they trade Dame, and pick some draft pick to change the fortunes.
What. He will be 23 to 26. Not 35. There is plenty of time after Dame retires for Sharpe to be built around.
Sure doesn't seem that way since you complain about people talking about trading Dame. Seems like we live in your head rent free.
At that point, you will wast another 5+ years trying to get picks and develop them, when you could have had Scoot or Miller forming a dynamic duo.
The sad part is these people get so emotional about Dame, and Dame could care less about them LOL. He’s made half a billion dollars and will be happy no matter where he end up.
want to make it clear, I'm guilty too... ...but damn this fucking place. nobody is saying anything new. Everybody has staked out their positions months ago and are just recycling the same fucking talking points, over and over and over and over it's not any form of a discussion at this point. Just a bunch of keyboard clowns trying way too hard to win dumb pointless arguments. Nobody will convince anybody of anything. All we're doing is pissing each other off by crossing goofy lines drawn on wet sand there has been lots if discussion about what threads should be and what threads shouldn't. I think there should be one thread reserved for tweets and such and all posted without comment. Leave all the arguing and food fights for other threads, and just have one where there is new info and rumor and speculation by people other than posters here....a thread with none of this godawful endless back-n-forth
What the heck are we supposed to do? There's nothing anyone can do right now. The draft is 3 days away. Should we have Sly take the site offline until Thursday?
So has Joe not been trying to do this the last few years, or is he/staff incompetent? It's odd you expect basically the same strategy to suddenly have a drastically different result.
didn't say shut it down. I just said I'm finding the tone and direction of threads to be unpleasant right now
