The hate for Neil is real

If we're going to count that as a win, I'm going to count extending CJ as a loss.

 

where's Pau Gasol?

 

I wouldn't dismiss it as nothing.

 

I'm conflicted. If we didn't have CJ on a big contract we wouldn't be able to fantasize about trading him for Ben Simmons. Does that make it a win or a loss?

 

I mean, has there been any other interpretation could you come up with?

Answer: there isn't.

But I never said he demand(e)d a trade. He just gave the ultimatum.

 

It's cj and it's Simmons. It's always a loss no matter how you look at it.

 

All of it is just part of a bigger problem which is his evaluation of CJ as a player. It's all connected. If he wasn't so attached to CJ, he would have traded him earlier, back when his value was higher, and would never even have had the chance to sign him to that extension.

 

You both sound absolutely insane. Because he used "pleased" for Jusuf and "excited" for the draft picks it means that he was decidedly more enthused about the draft picks? Perhaps to Neil being "pleased" refers to the presence of a player rather than the lack of presence that a draft pick provides. Perhaps it's hard to be pleased with a draft pick because you don't even know what it is. Perhaps he doesn't see a distinction at all and could simultaneously flip the words around with no comprehensive loss of meaning.

 

Guess you weren't around when Walton left or when Drexler left. Just because you read about it on pretty much every platform of social media because people want to act like they got an inside scoop doesn't mean this situation has much down side.
Lillard will play this season and most likely next for the Blazers. If he doesn't the Blazers will get a boatload of options, players, and or picks for him.
Go back and look at what the Blazers got for Walton, Drexler, Bowie, Oden, Roy. When you check all that out I hope you start to feel a bit better. If not then you are simply swimming in your own frustration.

 

Fuck Neil

 

If Neil was done, we would have already had a press conference. I keep telling the crazies here, he ain't done.

 

You mean to tell me everyone here isn't level headed and completely correct in their analysis?

 

Happy belated birthday River!

 

I'll wait before declaring my outrage for Neil and asking for his resignation.

 

OK, so he makes one more almost meaningless minimum wage signing. Whoopee!

 

there wasn't one last year introducing Jones/Roco/etc

 

Covid

 

LOL...till when?...the trade deadline?
