More like 4 or 5 picks, Batum, Matthews and Rolo all could have netted picks. LA would have netted a nice haul. I knew LA was not coming back, so gambling last year was not a risk I would have taken. We went for it and there is nothing wrong with that but because of it we lost several assets for nothing.
It's self serving look-at-me rosterbation fantasy. Coming off the most successful season in a decade, with your star player saying "I want to retire a Blazer!", and high hopes on making a deeper playoff run to the WCF, you trade everyone for draft picks? Seriously, give me a fucking break. It's pathetic.
You mean your second best player at the time was being coached into saying he wanted to retire a blazer. It was a ploy to attract free agents and we netted a hell of a haul getting Kaman and Blake. Play it however you want we gambled on that roster and lost badly
I didn't need to vent. I was just pointing out how ridiculous it is to point out "Look at me! Look at me! Look at how right I was!" It demonstrates a pathological insecurity, and I just wanted to point it out.
Wrong. The cap space from those players and Batum trade got the players I mentioned. Do you think we get some Monopoly money to buy the contracts?
Dude, the man is stuck in a God forsaken shithole for no valid reason, getting his ass shot at while we sit here fat, dumb and happy, whining about a spoiled, overpaid entertainer who didn't show us the proper love. Brian from Wa is one of our pack (even if he is from WA). His service and sacrifice deserves acknowledgement, especially on this of all holidays. I am a veteran who didn't do d-fucking squat so I don't need a thank you. But guys who have been thrown into harm's way should get one whether they want it or not. Because he is there, we don't have to be. Just sayin'.....
sorry sly but for some of us fans ,its kind of difficult to take the in your face gloating/of a nariscistic individual whom in past posts has admitted to rooting for the blazers to lose just so his position can be justified and to again gloat and insist that his position/opinion is the only relavent one in any dialogue here on the forum.
Attack what he says, not who you think he is or might be. If you attack what someone says it invites discussion and debate, the cornerstones of a good forum. If you attack someone personally it just causes an insult trading fuck fest and a lot of hard feelings.
