    It's really sad that this is the biggest win of the season.

    Glad to see Neil saw that this team was horrible and is trying to fix it. This team just isn't good enough... now at least we have some movement - hope more is to com.

    Fuckin a! Nurkic was the guy I wanted if we couldn't land a DMC-caliber trade. I'm stoked. He is a bruiser and a likeable character (for us, not opponents), he will be a fan favorite in no time.

    What if Ezeli somehow gets healthy this season? A rotation of Nurkic and Ezeli is pretty physically imposing. Of course it takes the two of them together to have one healthy set of knees...

    Ezeli being done for the season is the worst kept secret on the Blazers.

    The best kept secret is that Meyers has pictures of Neil...

    My problem with this team was getting attached to guys like wes and nic. I think the only one I am super attached to is dame only because he is the franchise player. CJ too because I don't think he is going anywhere. Plan should be this summer is to surround this team with good defenders, find that 3rd guy because we obviously can't get top FA's here. I think Neil realized that especially this summer and will use these 3 1st round picks and some of the guys on our team wisely. Don't even care for this season anymore. Still gonna watch and have fun with it but the best move is to not make playoffs, go from there. I feel like there is some real good moves coming down the pipeline later on. We can get a really good 3rd player and some defensive role players with what we have

    I kind of worry if we just ripped the heart out of this team. This will test the team's maturity and show if they've got the stones to be competitive in this league or if they just want to make friends.

    This team needs to learn everything can't be rainbows and flowers, san diego trips. I like mase too but it had to be done. Gonna be interested on how this affects their play more so than anything

    Pretty sure he never said anything like that about Aldridge.
