    Exactly. He has said he wants to play his whole career in Portland. Like you said, he doesn’t say something just to go back on it.

    My apologies for misunderstanding the scope of your "I can name 3 moves that would have made this team not just a little but a bunch better" statement. I apparently incorrectly thought you were talking specifically about the trade deadline.

    The point is not whether tanking was good or bad. The point is that Cronin did tank the season and the question is, did he tank it unintentionally or intentionally?
    I think a lot of people are wondering about this.
    Because if he really was trying to win until Josh Hart was traded, he did a lousy job.

    I can see the confusion. Probably more my fault than yours. I apologize for that.

    Please spell it out for me in clearer terms. I can't figure out the point. It's so elusive and confounding.

    It was over the line. My apologies. Deleted. You are a fun guy on the forum and I shouldn't have made that joke.

    I don’t mind people cracking on me, I give it out, and damn sure can take it. You don’t owe me an apology, just seemed like you were pissed at me.

    5 straight replies to a harmless crack. That too, in response to you calling him "maam."

    Are you sure you can take it?

    I apologize for the trolling. Not mad at you. Just taking out some frustration because I'm having a hard time dealing with the death of my great grandmother in a tragic water-skiing incident.

    I'm sorry for your loss. "the death of my great grandmother in a tragic water-skying incident." definitely caught me off guard and while it might be tragic for you and your family, it's pretty impressive that a great grandmother was water-skying.

    She wasn't water-skiing. She was minding her own business and a water-skier robbed her at gunpoint.

    Yeah I apologized for that. Didn’t realize calling him ma’am would be considered such an insult.

    Obviously not. He said she was robbed, not shot. He clearly robbed her and then took off on water skis, at which point her foot got caught in the tow rope, and she was pulled into the water and drowned.

    Context, people.
