I think people are overreacting to the last couple days

Once again, I will form my opinion on what actually occurs and happens in real life instead of just assuming there is no way it's possible.

 

To be fair, injuries the year before also contributed to why Portland was only 8th. So, this team is clearly a playoffs team - and clearly not the 3rd best team in the conference.

 

I give him to the trade deadline of year 4 of his rebuild.

 

That’s fine but when nothing happens AGAIN let’s chill on the excuses for Neil.

 

We didn't get worse last year. We went from 8 seed to 3 seed despite 6 game home losing streak and late season dive.

 

That is hilarious.

 

For fuck's sake, how many fucking times do I have to fucking say that I'm right there with you if things aren't better by the time the season rolls around?

 

You have never said that to me, and I don’t read every post ever written,

 

It does look like not retaining Davis could end up being a failure but I think Dame is the heart and soul of the team and the leader and everything else physically possible for one man to be.

 

Personally, I don't think so, but I do still think it's in doubt as to whether they'll use the Crabbe TPE. There are currently a full 15 players under contract for next year, as well.

 

If he's the best backup big in the league, why did he only get 4.4 million from the NETS? He's a good player, but Collins and Nurkic have more potential and should be getting the minutes. Not to mention we have a second year Swanigan who is a very good rebounder.

 

And did you really want us to offer Wes what Dallas offered Wes? After that injury? With CJ waiting in the wings?

 

Swanigan is no where close to Davis man. No where close. Swanigan is a fringe NBA player. Not every 1st round pick has potential.

 

How are there 15? I think 12 including PapaG

 

There are injuries to every team every year including our team. 3rd is 3rd is 3rd. Or if things are counted out because of injuries, then the Warriors haven't won their last three titles:

2015: No Kyrie or Kevin in Finals
2017: No Kawhi in WCF
2018: No CP3 in Games 6 & 7 of WCF

 

Last Year: 15
-Pat
-Ed
-Shabazz
+Simons
+Trent
+Stauskas

= 15

 

Dame is the leader and has plenty of heart. But your heart and soul is usually your enforcer too. Dame ain't that.

 

Give him time. I didn't say he was close to Davis. I said he was a good rebounder. He was pretty awesome in regular season home opener vs New Orleans last year. The potential is there especially with more minutes.

 

Correct. I forgot the draft picks + Quick Nik. Shows how much these meant to me.

I am not certain that PapaG is guaranteed - and of course, we did not sign Trent and Simons yet - and the fact that Trent was not even in the conference makes me wonder if he is going to be a part of a trade. Who knows.
