    Actually nobody knows that. In fact in all my time as a Blazers fan I can think of maybe a handful players who "loved" the city: Duckworth, Kersey, Porter, Briant Grant, and Channing Frye. For all we know Nic just likes to say nice things about wherever he's at -- which is a pretty good policy.

    See he's damn liar.

    In the article he says he didn't know Dame would be that good right?

    In this interview he says he knew it after their 1st practice.

    People who talk out of both sides of their mouths are liars.

    This quote was in this year, after he signed his 120M contract. Seems like a bit much if he didn't really enjoy the city.

    Or he legitimately likes where he happens to be. Most cities are nice if you're young and rich.

    That's not spin, those are facts. And you one of the whiniest posters in here have some shit to say about me... when you post it's like James Harden flopping...

    But the bottom line is we traded for afflalo because we were number 3 in the whole league. Then Wes goes down and Afflalo gets injured shortly after. There goes our season. This is followed by TT quitting on us against the Grizzlies.

    The moves Neil made were right at the time and had the injuries not happened who knows how far we would have gone with that squad.

    Idk man. Lillard was drafted June 28th, 2012. Batum agreed to the offer sheet July 6th. Didn't sign until July 15th.

    It's possible they hadn't had a practice yet together.

    I've already addressed the Afflalo trade in multiple posts, both before and after his injury. There's really no reason to discuss it further. Regardless, that's not the only move worth criticizing, and not the only thing you're trying to spin either.

    I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't want them to trade Nico. I liked him. I was tired of his softness and settling. But this isn't what it's about. It's about whether or not Neil made a good deal and whether or not Nic wanted to be here. Stay on topic.
