If Neil acquires a decent front court player with playoff experience, some will change their tune, just as some will if he doesn't get anything done.
if a gm lets a guy go for lux tax purposes, it is 100% on the owner not the GM. what GM sits around and tells the owner, "listen, I know you don't care about paying luxury tax payments but I do, it really keeps me up at night". So if you think that Ed Davis is gone for financial reasons, direct anger at ownership.
Except the GM put the team in that situation in the first place. Your argument doesn't hold water here....
Actually it does. It is not excusing how we got here - Neil. But now that we are in this lovely place, going forward, if Neil wants to do something and he is told "no, we aren't paying for it", that's Allen's decision.
But why is he allways talking "we have a very aggressive owner" ? Why these contracts in 2016? All moves portland made since 2016 were to safe Money
again, previously we've waited over a week etc and all we got was an extension for meyers and ET being signed for more than he ever should have. im not sure time is the issue here....
Yeah i bet he is the reason. It's all about his fucking Money. I mean, look at Okc, they don't care about money. But our owner who is rich as fuck of course does

1st of all, ET was a day 1 signing. 2nd of all, there is value in waiting. Ed Davis was later in free agency. Mo Williams took nothing to play here. Last year Tyreke Evans signed for nothing with Memphis.
Time has change . Look at their payroll now. He want's to Keep his Star Player Happy and they make moves, while we signed fucking Stauskas
You are acting like this is Euro soccer where teams can just do whatever the fuck they want. Free agency is not and never was going to be the way this team improves this summer.
Exactly. I've been a huge Neil supporter his time here. I gave him a pass on Afflalo trade. Meyers and Turner we're terrible moves but I still wanted to see what he did next. Now he has made no improvements since. I'm starting to side with the fire Neil side, questioning if another GM would make better moves.
