FIRE CRONIN

So far, trading 3 starters for scraps, picking up an inefficient small PF, and overpaying for Ant when only the Pistons and Magic had the $$ to offer more....and neither team was going to do that.
Not off to a great start....hope it gets better SOON.

 

Ilgauskas was a two-time all-star; Ben Wallace was 33 but a 4-time all-star, the last being a year before he joined Cleveland. Verajao was 2nd team all-defense

 

i just don't understand the blind trust people have in him.

i dunno why were expecting more. we hard capped ourselves for a guard, and destroyed any flexibility he touted.

the clipper deal for bledsoe's contract will end up being another waste of time. and don't talk to me about keon. he's gonna be playing more in the GLeague this year because there are no guard minutes on this dumbass roster build.

 

I mean he was a long time Olshey protege. It’s starting to make sense now.

I wanted Ainge.

 

fuck that. i just wanted an adult in the room to supervise him.

 

?

 

i don't like ainge. he's highly overrated and players hate him.

i wanted someone like barry to be the president of basketball ops in a position above cronin to assist in negotiations and not make stupid moves.

 

I like Barry.

I think Ainge’s resume is on point. Both in draft and trades. He can recognize talent and has the balls to make big deals.

 

cronin has the balls to make trades too. he gave away half our team for flexibility, but then used all of it on gary payton.

not saying much.

let's just agree to disagree on ainge, though. don't like the guy.

 

This is hilarious....Like listening to the Fox News evening crew talking about Biden. Just a bunch of miserable sods finding ways to spin everything as negative. Looking forward to the season!

 

Bump

 

I second the bump. I don't feel like the remaining games this year will be much fun.

 

WHY?

 

WHY??

 

Desaster of a GM

 

Because it will be more of Dame playing waaaaaay too many minutes to single handedly win every other game.

 

Cronin was very up front this summer that this is a multiple year fix. WTF where you expecting to magically happen today? We actually got better for the long-term, easily.

 

POR picked up players that are useless and got a FRP. Just not that impressed. Nurk needs to go. Ant needs to go. That would be progress. WTF would anyone want to pay Nurk all that money when his vertical is 4 inches and he refuses to play strong? The antithesis of the modern athletic big. The team still has too little size and zero bench scoring. Do you expect all of that to magically materialize in a year from now?
