    This is the thread for the 2026 draft, right?

    I’m highly satisfied with the 2846 draft. I think that Blorg from planet Blaaargoo will really stretch the floor with his stretch Armstrong like arms.

    You can't predict things that have already happened.
    You can't react to things that have not yet happened.
    So yes, those things are, in fact, mutually exclusive.

    A thread topic is something that's happened...we disagree. I agree with you about part one although I think predicting is also a reaction to circumstances even if those are self inspired. but it's all good.

    The thread topic is specifically about the draft and about free agency. Neither have happened. Thus, one cannot react to those specific things.

    It's really not that hard.

    As a sports fan who has accrued more posts than I care to admit since the late 90's, been a moderator on several sites, and watched boards come and go.....

    ....I have never been a member of a site where so many people answer or respond to a question without quoting. By the time they post, others have posted before them and we have no fucking idea who or what they have responded to. Seriously, it's like 10x more than I have ever seen. Oh well.......

    Nah--I'm quite certain @Fairly-Hard understands the difference.

    It's about satisfaction and disappointment from what I'm reading. And I can and did react to the thread title without speculating on how I'll feel after the fact...it's simple really. I'll leave you to your interpretation of the rest of it. It's all good as I said before.

    Since the change in management, I have been satisfied with the decisions made. Therefore, I assume that line of thought will continue...

    an interesting puzzle of multiple expectations

    1) We can tow the company line:
    Blockbuster trades to renew playoff spirit, with Lillard doing max damage in a winning program.

    2) minor improvements, make the playoffs, probably get crushed, with fans cannibilizing each other over the tank or not to tank strategy.

    3) stealth tank, my preferred option. A team with awesome shooters that destroys the stinky teams, but isn't good enough to beat stronger competition. A .500 ballclub with a GM patiently waiting to pull the pin, make whacky trades, and create a tailspin towards another awesome rookie.

    4) Full rebuild, Grant walks, Lillard gets traded, make it rain ping pong balls in Portland.
