    yes, you said "whispers." And "Powell's name is swirling."

    I could have told you there are more than whispers and similar stuff just based on every article out there.

    That's not really much of a hint.

    We got nothing for 2 people who had positive trade value. There's no positive spin on this. We could and should have gotten at LEAST a solid rotation player OR at least a 1st for this year or next year for 2 players who can offer a bunch to contending teams.

    But we skirted the tax for someone who had one hot month and an inconsistent center who needs outside motivations to get him to play well.

    Fucking stupid thinking from a GM. He better have something in the works or this as a stand alone deal is fucking moronic.

    There is no silver lining.

    I feel like if the team could have traded RoCo and Norm for cash considerations, they would have done that.

    Can people do math in this forum cause the way I see it and let's to keep things SIMPLE l-- Bledsoe's contract is for 19m and only 4
    • 2022 $3.9 million guaranteed , fully guaranteed on 6/29/22
    Do your research before saying it's only 6.3 cause that means the Blazers free up 15m

    This info comes from Spotrac.com

    Reckless GM's should also be held accountable. Cronin has clearly demonstrated that he should not be permitted to be behind the wheel of this tank.

    Everything we got is so bad that it doesn't make sense for someone to want that honestly.

    i would hope so. maybe the ridicule on social media would have prevented him? Or maybe enticed other teams to give up second rounders that aren't 3 yrs away?

    This isn't a positive. Ant isn't proven beyond one month and Nurk is way too inconsistent to count on when we need him.

    Nothing positive came from this. Accept it.

    No excuse for this bad a trade. He has the keys and this is what he does no matter what the circumstance this is one of the worst trades any team in the nba has made in years. Among everything we made made the Clippers better a team we would have to go through in the west. 6 days before the trade deadline and this what happens. I think we should be scared and worried if this guy does anymore moves if this is what he thinks is a solid move. Keon Jhonson is another guard who is shooting 27% from 3....

    Do you understand the math behind the 6.3M number that was referenced? Perhaps you should take the time to fully comprehend the opposing position before you use the "do your research" line.

    Well, this is the most interest there's been in the team this season... All publicity is good publicity, right? Right??

    My point is wait and see what else happens before going into a complete meltdown cause i agree talent for talent this trade is garbage and I will admit even if this does HELP a rebuild and free up salary we just helped a rival get better so that is the biggest bad thing about this trade ( at this time )

    maybe if you would have been more straightforward, we would have prevented this abomination by embarrassing him.
