    I wonder what teams have got less in return for all their 1st round picks over the last 6-7 years?

    that's not the same thing as picking up the slack. When Dame plays great, Portland usually wins at a pretty high rate. That's not true of any other Blazer player. That would be the slack that's not picked up. I guess it's another way of saying Portland lacks another elite talent

    I m usually the one to complain, but right now there is so many players underperforming. Basically 3/5 starters are a shitshow compared to what we expected. There should be some kind of correction coming.

    But fuck Olshey. He has kept this job for far too long always blaming other factors for his failures

    The moves made around the margins will soon take hold.

    Pretty unprofessional. You can threaten legal action against writers and have them rescind stories if there is something wrong in the article.

    If I said f you to a reporter I would get fired.

    Doesn't make it right. Many of us don't have that luxury.

    Saying fuck you to a reporter doesn't sound like smack talk. Sounds like it has become personal, hence unprofessional.

    I've been called every name you could think at work. Guess what? I don't retaliate because I would get fired.

    that door swings both ways...does a reporter get fired for lying in public or slander concerning an athlete? maybe a Dame Lillard? I had a coworker get in trouble for being a bully and having anger issues in the school system...that person was required to attend counseling once a week and make amends to their coworkers on probation before continuing....there are human relations dept laws that are safeguards from abuse in the workplace but athletes say fuck you to journalist all the time...no, it's not good but it's not rare either....I've never had issues in all my life with confrontations or work....we both have that in common ...road rage however is still part of everyday life and people get targeted by assholes for no reason as well. I do think he'll get fired or quit.
