I don't get this "The whole writing is on the wall were losing our franchise player and will be mired in mediocrity for years to come". It seems almost a complete 180 for you. one of those draft picks is going to be lottery picks in one of the supposed deepest drafts since 2003 giving us 2 lottery picks to pair up with LMA/BAtum/Mathew/Ewill and whoever we can entice in FA with our large amount of capspace. We did these trades to not be mired in Mediocrity for years.
Also how were these guys assets? Cambys play was horrible as of late and he was going to retire at the end of the year leaving us with nothing, Wallace was so inconstant he made Batum look as consistent as Duncan and was either going to be here next year for almost our entire capspace on a Body that is showing way to much wear and tear from his seasons in the NBA, or we were going to lose him for nothing.
I get the Coach thing, but everything else just doesn't make sense to me.
It's not a 180 for me. I've thought Paul Allen was the problem all along, and until he sells the team or gives up control of it (along with his lackeys), nothing is going to improve. I'm not even pissed about Nate being fired, since even I have said it was time for him to go (mostly for his own sake).
Godspeed to anyone who walks into this mess. The Blazers don't have a GM, and they have a coach who is the last of the Yes Men on the staff.
