    This makes me irrationally happy. Think I need a life. Gonna shut down from Blazer land until the season starts, once summer league is over.

    Can we move this thread to OT please?

    I don't give a fuck what players the Lakers were spit balling about. It has nothing to do with the Blazers. Move it.

    Thnx

    I think the Lillard trade talks have some legs. His value will never be higher and we sure are taking on a lot of guards.

    Ingram averaged 16ppg as a 20 year old, so I could see that. I'd still need at least him, Kuzma, Hart, and probably some picks from after Lebron retires at least if, IF Lillard said he wanted out. I'd still definitely look at every other team to see if I could get a better deal first though before I gifted the Lakers a player like that.

    Sending Dame to the Lakers would be suicide.

    If Dame were traded which I hope never happens....I'm talking to Boston and wanting Tatum and a lot of great players and picks in return...if Dame's on another team....I want to see him in the finals....he'll get there easier in the east. Stevens is a coach I really like.

    If they paid me >= what I make now I would be their sports writer and I actually cheer for the local teams. While I may be emotionally attached to much at times least I would genuinely want the team to get better. Instead of tear them down constantly, get pissed off when I don’t get my way. I’d vote for a number of posters on this site to do a better job as a journalist for this franchise then most of the sports media type we actually have.

    I imagine from the paper's standpoint, it's better to have a non-fan(non-biased) individual covering the team.

    The problem is some of the best analysts and writers on this board probably earn two or three times what a typical newspaper reporter makes.

    Non-bias doesn’t exist, the bias is they don’t care if they get better or not. From the papers perspective all it does is drive clicks because they write things that piss people off.
    It would be great if the local media wasn’t actively pushing against all the Oregon teams all the time. All markets have their fair share of “critics” but I think few markets have such a crappy home field disadvantage from their local “journalists” and media personalities.

    We are talking about Joe Freeman. All the other writer, personalities are pretty inept if you ask me. He is solid. Doesn’t ever make shit up, tells it like it is. Doesn’t make the stories about him. Trust me, he’s the most respected local writer.
