    Eh, I'm not all that disappointed with this series loss.
    Yeah it sucks, but the team overachieved and grabbed the 3rd seed.
    When many believed Portland would be on the outside looking in.
    Even people with in the organization thought that way.

    Would have been better off not showing off and overachieving

    Sorry Lukee but that is just a ridiculous statement.

    No team has the room to clear out that much money.

    Why jump off a building this year when you could jump off a cliff next year!

    It can absolutely get worse than this. Ask Detroit fans if there are any. Look at the Sacramento Kings. There are others.

    CJ and ET to another

    Kings fans don't get heartbroken though.

    Detroit fans, I guess. They have no picks. But for us, I think this is rock bottom, whether we get better or worse.

    Yeah, Bones is right. You can't just dump that much salary on teams realistically. Maybe try coming up with some logical scenarios.

    I’m sure with some creativity out of a competent gm there are some 3 way trades that could accomplish it, I’m not the guy right now however.

    LMAO, I usually enjoy your posts but you are basically asking a GM to do something that borders being impossible, at the very least improbable, and then if he can't accomplish that then he isn't creative enough? Get real man.

    They don’t have to get rid of every bad contract, if CJ/Dame/ET we’re off the books who gives a shit about the 20 mil for Meyers and Hark, they can stick for one more year until they are expirings. Let’s not get greedy

    I'm no Danny Ainge, but do you think Chicago and Phoenix give up their picks in this year's draft for a deal like this?

    Not advocating, mind you; just suggesting that it might not be as impossible as y'all are suggesting.
