Yeesh. That's really, really, really bad. Even if you are getting cap relief ... I don't know Bledsoe's status ... who are you going to be able to sign as a free agent to accentuate what's left of this roster? You have to get someone back who can help you. Would have been better trading Norm and RoCo in separate deals, I have to think. This make me mad.
The word is worse not worst when it's a comparison but yeah, as fucking horrible as Olshey was, I can't imagine him ever giving away two starting players with great contract situations for this shit... I mean a 2025 second rounder?!?
Then you jettison Lillard the hell outta here. No team is being sold until the new tv contract comes in a couple years and significantly ups the value of franchises.
The commissioner HAS to come in a put a stop to this, right? This is more lopsided than Chris Paul to the Lakers in 2011.
Yeah, just because Cronin is looking worse doesn't mean that Olshey was good enough to keep this job.
Perhaps the worst trade I have ever seen. No exaggeration. This is what I said about a bad GM setting the franchise back years. Olshey made trades to compete. We didn't even get an asset back in this deal. I can't imagine what is going through Dame's head. The least we could have gotten were first-rounders to move in other trades. Once you move assets, it limits how much better you can become. Truly awful.
And how you fill in the rotation if you have no assets? After this trade we almost lost all our trade chips and still didn't get a good player. You think he couldn't salary dump Powell for something better than this during summer?
lol, this trade looks terrible on the surface, so im trying to make a theory why the blazers made that trade my theory is that they liked what they saw from ant & little and are sure they are starters going forward, im guessing they also like nurk recent play and want to re-sign him and that leaves power forward and it looks like the time without dame, cj mccollum & powell really showed them something about how good the team looked on the floor (not in terms of talent of course, but rather much better fit, much more cohesive team)
Holy shit. Just blow everything up. This is so bad. Hahahahahahahaha. At least we don't have to read posters saying give Cronin more time. Everyone sees this as awful. Fire him immediately.
I'm usually a glass half-full kind of person, but.. I think I'll be tossing out my water for beer on this one.
Thanks for the info. I was posting when I first heard of the trade and had no idea what the salary implications were of the journeymen ... I mean players ... we acquired.
