    A blockbuster will make it an easier transition for Billups — Canzano & Co. will be relentless on the whole rape situation, even though he wasn’t charged/convicted.

    What say you?

    I know John Canzano.
    F John Canzano....

    However, more to your point, I'm definitely hoping CJ for Ben.

    Dame is fucking our leverage by putting out shit like "Dame is antsy."

    Guess what that does?

    It lets the other GMs know that we're desperate to make a trade.

    Ask the owner, I am sure her team is well versed in positive PR spin for sexual crime "allegations" :dunno:

    It's not the job of fans to ease the backlash.

    you ask every single fan base if they think the refs fuck their team over and the answer will all be the same.

    Blockbuster trade to shift the focus.

    Neil, get off your high horse and do something :blink:

    That's pretty cynical on two fronts.
    1. That isn't confronting the issue, it's deflecting
    2. You're hoping it will get what you want anyway.

    I think Neil should "address" the scandal by giving me a couple of million dollars.

    Because there wouldn't be any backlash in Seattle. Clearly.

    LOL some backlash!!! 5 of the biggest news outlets in the city and not one of them ran with a headline even coming close to suggesting anything "backlashy". For god sake, EVEN THE WILLAMETTE WEEKLY hasn't bothered getting outraged by it. You literally have to go to John Canzano's personal page to find a headline that's even remotely negative -- and I'm sure we're ALL shocked that he went that route. If your definition of backlash is a bunch of social media handles complaining, you haven't spent much time on social media.

    I think all but the worst among us can agree that abusers of women, children, the elderly and animals are scum, plain and simple. If I knew with absolute certainty that Chauncey did what he's accused of, I wouldn't be in favor of his hiring, no matter how long ago it was or how good of a coach he is. But the fact is that there's really not much to go off of, aside from an accusation that never went anywhere. I'm all for believing women, and I'm also all for cancelling that which deserves to be cancelled, but I also do not think you can hold something like this against someone half a lifetime ago. Is it a footnote in his candidacy? 100%, it bears looking into and acknowledging, and I'm sure it'll be mentioned in every article from the above outlets. But without more to go on, it can't be something that disqualifies someone for the rest of their lives. He's had no issues since the incident and by all accounts appears to be an upstanding person.

    it's disgusting, does anyone actually even read his garbage anymore? I haven't read one article from him in over 10 years or more.

    “Brenda is triggered by the hire of Billups after her own sexual assault 20 years ago but let me go to her to relive her trauma everytime someone sends a text just so I can get a quote and a new article out of it.”

    Fuck him

    And the end of the day, we are making a bigger picture about what Blazer Edge, Twitter and John Canzano has to say. Just a small percentage of people yet we are highlighting it more than we should. They can go cry a river. Who gives a fuck the opinion of these people.
