    CJ and Dame are tighter than an Italian tenors trousers. If that's his plan, fire him now

    I just don't think we will go into next season without a shot blocker in the starting lineup.

    Turner was a starter on a very good team. The Cavs turned it around when they totally benched Mozgov.

    I actually quite like Mozgov, but he's kind of a dinosaur. Turner is the picture of the new NBA of all-interchangeable-parts.

    This reminds me a bit of when we signed Wes. EVERYBODY thought he was RIDICULOUSLY overpaid.

    Welp, such a farcry from what we were interested in (Whiteside, Howard, Parsons) to this. I mean I feel bad for Neil because this is how it will always be for Portland, even if they have a championship contending team, but at the same time, the answer is not to overspend for medicore players. So for that Neil is probably not the right guy.

    Yeah, I agree. The price tag is a shock, but I like the player. I have to wonder whether this means Crabbe is gone? They seem like they'd demand the same backup minutes at SG and SF. He played some PG for the Celtics, but I don't think that's his best position.

    I was hoping we could sign Fournier, so in the vein of Run TMC, we could be FML

    I don't blame him AT ALL for guys not signing here. I blame him for thinking they will, and blame him for giving a guy like Turner that much money. Crabbe and Harkless are at least equal to him

    And Crabbe and Harkless.

    How the fuck can you offer someone like Turner a starting job before training camp.
