Well, I think it has been less than one year since Cho was fired. And I don't know that firing Cho saved a future owner any money or increased his/her flexibility. You can fire the GM anytime. And sometimes teams implode even when you don't want them to. Still, it could be true that the team is about to be sold. barfo
I feel like it's not as simple as does PA want to sell the team or not. He's an impulsive man. Somedays you can tell he's disinterested, other times he's engaged. Remember, he didn't have to get Crawford. He went for it, and when they were 7-2 and people were talking WCF he was into it. I still think he's hoping for one last ray of hope. If they hit a HR with draft picks/FA/Trades this summer, I think he's all in again. But if we don't. If we somehow get the 8 seed, and NJ either keeps (top 3) pick or we get their pick but its not as high as we like . . . If we don't end up with high lotto (s), and don't make. FA ot trade splash then I can see him waving the white flag and selling.
God, you're such a fucking troll, I don't know why I even bother to respond to your fabricated bullshit. You just make shit up and hope people will accept it as fact. Well, here's a couple facts that prove what you just wrote is total bullshit. Larry Miller was hired on June 20, 2007. Brandon Roy had just finished his rookie season and was still over two years away from being eligible for a contract extension (August 9, 2009). So, if Larry Miller was hired to prepare the team for sale, and PA already knew Roy's knees were bad, why did they sign Roy to a 5-year max deal over TWO YEARS AFTER MILLER WAS HIRED? You're so full of shit. When Larry Miller was hired, the Blazers hadn't even drafted Greg Oden. If Miller was preparing the team for sale, and PA knew Oden was toast, why did they draft him? Why waste the number 1 over all pick on a guy they knew was toast. How does that make the team attractive to potential buyers? Right, see above. Roy's 5-year extension, Aldridge's extension and drafting Oden weren't moves to better the team's performance? What about signing Camby to a two year extension and trading for Gerald Wallace and his big contact? Pretty much every move the Blazers made from the time Miller was hired until two days ago was done with the intention of improving team performance. Hard to believe anyone can be so wrong for so long and still think they are right. Finally, after 4 - 5 years of trying to build a contender and being thwarted by injuries, they decided to blow it up and build for the future. To say they've been cutting corners for 4 -5 years is just asinine - at least when you examine the actual facts, not the made up ones. BNM
What kind of calendar are you using? Cho was fired less than 10 months ago on May 23, 2011. Again, you just make this shit up and hope no one notices. BNM
Uh oh Maris...... doesn't look good FAMS! This is like the very end of those old Perry Mason episodes when he busts out all the evidence.
