    Maybe Joe was reading this message board about how overrated Sikam was.

    The rumor last summer was that Siakam wasn't going to sign anywhere but Toronto.

    I want the Pacers to win it all. They've been close but I like to see a first time champ and they are desereving. Boston has a million already.

    Yeah, he wanted a max deal that only Toronto could offer. Plus they were asking for Sharpe, #3, and matching contracts.
    Nonetheless, there were a few on this board who were clueless about how good Siakam was.

    I'm pretty sure he didn't want to play in Portland at all if I remember correctly...some of the targets fans wanted forget that these guys agents can just say...don't even bother

    It must be so hard to be a Kings fan. You coulda had Doncic. You ACTUALLY HAD Halliburton. And both of them moved because you committed to D'Aaron Fox who is...I guess pretty good?

    Mind you, Kings fans probably say "at least we're not Blazers fans"

    KP's firing got raunchy. Twisted rumors spilled out of Portland. I heard Tom Penn and KP were having orgy's in the Front Office.

    Could have had Damian Lillard to pair with DeMarcus Cousins. That was a no-brainer.

    In 2022 played it safe and took Keegan Murray so they could make the playoffs and lose in the first round. Didn't even make the playoffs this past season and were a 9th seed.
    I believe they helped out the Blazers again in 2022.

    Bottom line is this front office we have running this team has no fucking balls too take the big swing. The only guy Portland had like that was Trader Bob.

    Would you have made that deal? #3, Sharpe, and I believe Ant's salary?

    where's game 5 ?? Something is missing in my NBA schedule. Doogie Hauser had the worst series of his career, and Indiana still couldn't take a bite outta Boston.

    I hate you Pacers. You were my last excuse to pull weeds. Now i'm covered in slugs and dirt, and it's all Indiana's fault.

    Pritchard’s Pacers didn’t get any further than Olshey’s Blazers.

    Blazers had a halftime lead in 1 of their WCF games. Let's see what happened...

    POR shot 27% FG, 12% from 3pt in the 3rd quarter. Hey... it's just like the new Blazers !!
