    Why would NO do this trade?

    With the new cap, an uneven trade is almost impossible. Teams don't need to dump salary. The Blazers only chance is to have CJ turn into a superstar. It's so sad to see the team to the south as reigning NBA Champions with the NBA MVP while the Blazers are in the cellar. The Blazers had a higher seed in 2014, and advanced a round further in the playoffs. To me this is Olshey's failure. How do you let all of this free agent talent walk away, and get nothing in return?

    Who did you want from the Knicks and Mavs? Those are the only teams we could have done a sign and trade with, And that's if the Blazers or either of those teams wanted to do one.

    Why would NO want to get younger?

    If you're convinced that Davis would walk away from NO in 2021 what makes you so sure he wouldn't walk away from the Blazers?

    If Davis were suddenly available don't you think NO could get a lot better offer than Meyers and Noah?

    Should've traded AAA and RoLo for Melo and then Wes for Dirk.... #FuckYouOlshey

    I wanted to trade them last off season or before the trade deadline.

    So we have no hope yet you think Meyers and Vonleh is enough to get Anthony Davis.
    And what would you have done?

    I would have traded Nic, LMA, Wes, and RoLo for great value before the start of the season.

    Why would you have wanted to trade Wes before his injury? I don't understand that...

    I guess it should be called trade agency, then.

    So if you were GM you would have traded the entire starting line up of a 2nd round playoff team because 3 were entering free agency, one was Batum and it's not fair to keep Lillard on the team without the other 4 players.

    I hope the Kings have a terrible season. However, the Lakers have better tradable young assets with Clarkson, Daneglo, and Randle. They sent offers to Karl when they found out they wanted to trade him.

    You're giving his post way too much credit. We all know how much of the bullshit post that was.

    People..... We're giving this guy's statements way too much credit. The things he is posting are way too idiotic to deserve intelligent responses...

    "The Realist" is a good name for a pro wrestler. Definitely a heel.
