Or... we traded an asset that was going to be worth NOTHING to us in June for a project and another asset that could help us in a trade tomorrow, June, or next season....
These same people complained that we should have traded Aldridge for anything before we lost him in free agency. Some people just want to be mad at everything.
I mean...... LMA was one of the best bigs in the game. And we weren't at the end of Dame's window. Totally different scenario.
I wish I was privy to that. But I’m sure there’s other teams that hold Simons to a really high regard.
Why is it always this excuse for Cronin? Ainge is over there schooling the league and our guy is "welp he tried his best."
What I'm sure of is that people here greatly over-value the players on the Blazers roster when it comes to trades. I agree with you Ant/Hart would net a nice player in return. Would that nice player make us better at a significant level? Unlikely in my opinion.
I'm sorry Nate, but before this trade, you were complaining about a lack of trades. Portland make a trade and you're complaining about the trade and I'm pretty sure I've seen you say that Hart would get traded and the Blazers needed to get something for him instead of letting him walk this summer or overpaying I'm also sure you have said that Olshey trading 1st round picks for role players like Afflalo, RoCo and Nance was a big win for the team receiving the picks and a loss for the team receiving the role player. So the Blazers trade a role player (on an expiring contract they almost certainly wouldn't re-sign this summer), for a first round pick, and suddenly trading a role player for a first round pick is a win for the team receiving the role player, and a loss for the team receiving the pick.....hard to keep up and by the way....fuck all the nostalgia for CJ. It's nuts and a hilarious irony coming from all the people bitching about mediocrity.
It's not about making trades for the sake of making trades. Come on man..... do you guys seriously think I'm that fucking stupid? It's about not wasting Dame's prime. The guy dropped a fucking 30 point trip dub tonight. It's about making moves that fit this window, and I really don't see how this move fits our window unless there's something else coming.
It sure beats pissing and moaning about the sky falling over a marginal trade that anyone who pays attention to the league, should've realized was coming. If you thought Cronin was going to trade Hart for a guy that was going to put the Blazers over the top, you are living in an alternate universe.
