    KP wasn't going to give Paul Allen PG13. Was never going to happen.

    Again. It was never going to happen unless we gave up Lillard or CJ. And we weren't going to do that.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Jesus Christ would definitely be the headliner of that deal, but I don't think the Blazers own His rights.

    Of course they are. If he is traded to Boston or Cleveland, I think his probability of re-signing with those teams is greater than him going to OKC.

    The Eastern Conference is literally just a JV league now. The talent disparity now has to be greater than ever before.

    If LeBron is smart, he will stay in the Eastern Conference. He can sit out half the regular season games, sweep his way to the finals every year, averaging 20 MPG in the first three rounds of the playoffs and keep playing into his 40s.

    The Eastern Conference has been carried, with only a small interruption, by two players over the last 25 years or so. Absent Michael Jordan and LeBron James, the West would probably have won every title since the Bad Boys Pistons' last title! (Obviously, an exaggeration--the 'Sheed Pistons won one too.)

    When you look at what it took to get Jimmy Butler and Paul George, it's disappointing that Portland couldn't have lured either of them. Sabonis and Oladipo???

    Supposedly we offered more for PG. Nobody is surprised that KP wouldn't de with us. He Pritch-slapped himself.

    I love the "Would Portland be the second best team in the NBA?" posts on Reddit. Talk about the corner of Desperation and Wishful Thinking!

    I do kind of enjoy how Quick is despised around here--unless he says something that reinforces a narrative that people would like to believe, then he becomes an unimpeachable source.

    I don't like Quick. Dont necessarily believe it. But if you read other tweets from other teams' beat writers, like the one I just posted, you can believe the narrative.

    So.... There's that. :dunno:
