    No, because as of now he hasn't signed with the Thunder and even if he does, that has little to do with the Blazers. Losing McCollum and George walking at the end would have set this franchise back several years.

    Why does PG13 staying in OKC mean he would've stayed with us?

    What we offered is completely different than trying to say that they wanted a specific package and we turned them down.

    That would be fine. Sign in OKC. At least that "Super Team BS" can go away. The LA coverage of Lebron is comical. Probably getting updates that he just took a dump.

    So if one hypothetical is true, can we base another hypoethtical based off a different situation so that we can complain?

    Lmao. Who knows if he stays in Portland. If he stays in OKC that doesn't mean he would've stayed in Portland.

    Set us back from what? Mediocrity? It would of been the best thing that could of happened! He stays we have 2 legit stars, he leaves we drop below the middle of the pack for a few years and stock the roster with lottery picks. Both better options than first round exits every year.

    Where is the link that says Indiana asked for CJ?

    I doubt there is one but considering the value of the players at the time that they ended up getting for PG I find it hard to believe they don’t take CJ and a 1st instead.

    Well then I guess my answer would be.....No, we did not blow it, since it was never an option. We have no clue what KP's motives were. "Common sense" could just as easily tell us he did not want to work with us in making a trade.

    You think a gm in the NBA would be so petty to turn down a BETTER deal strictly because it came from a former employer? Ok

    There is no common sense with Bones... if he doesn’t see video proof he won’t believe it... he probably thinks OJ is innocent

    I love how the dude crying about multi-faceted hypotheticals (with no evidence to support them) thinks he's using common sense, and then compares a trade/free agency scenario to a faulty murder trial.

    You can't make this stuff up.
