    Yeah, when you're the MAGA-est of all NBA players, Portland is not an obvious choice. Orlando, on the other hand...

    I sitll can't believe MN didn't go after Brogdon. Conley is five years older and will be a free agent. All their guys are healthy and the games they lose are by a small margin. I think Brogdon would have really put them over the top. A perfect fit for them. Very disappointing.

    The Blazers have to be WILLING to trade Brogs and right now it seems like they need a blockbuster offer to even THINK about trading him. I could say more about the GM but will reserve that for when deadline is over cause I feel a epic rant incoming today if we do jack BEEP.

    Not that I do, but you realize that you are allowed to post the swear word that you self-beeped. You don't have to censor yourself. Especially in your inevitable post-trade-deadline inactivity rant. Seriously, go @#*%ing crazy.

    FTFY. :)

    You should change the title of that thread to " The OFFICIAL Meltdown Thread"

    I really think @kjironman1 hit a home run with that thread.

    I changed my mind. We should all post like Ned Flanders.

    What does Sacramento keep offering for Grant that we are rejecting?

    Garbage. They don’t have much to offer if they won’t include Keegan Murray.

    I think the majority of it was about his ability to successfully build/grow his brand, UNITUS. I could see how some might make a connection with politics, but that was not specifically brought up.

    Yep... not just a what if anymore we traded nobody, we acquired a scrub but we didn't trade anyone from this obviously very flawed roster.

    With Sharpe out, why risk improving the team when we are on a path to a pretty decent pick again.

    I just hope they don't fall in love with constantly getting picks and forget about actually improving the team.

    the Banton acquisition was made just so the Blazers wouldn't show up on this list.
