I’ve posted about this before, over the years. The amount of deals that do/don’t get made that the GM truly is not responsible for is much higher than fans think. Much much higher.
It's also been explained to me that the #1 duty of a GM is managing the owner. So in a sense it's the GM job to get the owner to allow you to make the correct decision.
I hope not. That is the one person buying the Blazers that might make me turn in my fan card. Fuck Oracle.
If the pick is dealt for a band-aid like Grant it’s 100% a Bert move. Cronin is the puppet who’ll take all the heat - like Neil. The purgatory is as much his fault as it was Neil’s Be afraid - we’re still in shitty hands until we get new ownership.
I fully expect them to give away the 7th for grant. The team is run the sister of a genius. She aint the genius. Sell the fucking team already Jody and give us all a break. Clearly running all of Paul's passion projects right into the ground. In a matter of a few more years fans will stop supporting the teams. Seahawks and Blazers games will be peppered with booing from here on out. She is clueless.
