    They might as well not televise the rest of the Blazers games this season

    "The Blazers traded two first-round picks and Trevor Ariza for Robert Covington. The Blazers traded Gary Trent Jr. and Rodney Hood for Norman Powell. And now all the Blazers have to show for those two trades is a Keon Johnson, J Winslow, a couple months of Eric Bledsoe."

    yeah what a steal by portland. Bledsoe will never play a single minute with Dame, and the others probably won't either for that matter but for different reasons entirely: bench mob

    I haven't seen a guy try to get fired like this since George Costanza donned a bodysuit and pretended to run naked around Yankee Stadium.

    The Blazers will hire a new GM in the offseason and let Cronin be their scapegoat for this.

    For people who want to tank, this is how you do it.

    The Dolphins wanted to pay their coach to lose games....

    I wonder if we're paying Cronin to lose games?

    Did the Blazers really get Dame's signoff on this?

    No. You acquire assets, usually in the form of draft picks.

    How about we fire the fans who are acting like it's the end of the world and going into a complete meltdown -- kidding but geez everyone needs to take a deep breath and calm the F down

    You would have thought Conin did this trade only sub out Norm and Cov and insert Dame but he did not he got rid of an expiring contact and another contract that did not fit with THIS team anymore.

    Dude..... Norm is on a great contract and he's a solid player. This was a flat out horrible trade. I'm sorry. He was an asset. We gave him up for nothing. Literally nothing. Straight up trash. We traded GTJ for him and we got trash.

    It's not even a question. We got fleeced. Taken out back behind the shed and spanked.

    This is why you don't allow interim GM's to make significant trades.

    But with Jody's awful leadership, it's the blind leading the blind. We sat down at the pro table for Texas Hold'em and got taken to the cleaners.
