Well look at how long we kept players like Patty Mills, Elliot Williams and Greg Oden and the next one will probably be Allen Crabbe. I just said that he likes to see his young players blossom.
In this thread... Lillard for Conley Oden for Lopez LMA for Love Batum for Wiggins Wes for Vince Carter Ok, not really in this thread but it might as well be. Sign Pippen and MJ to come off the bench and the west is OURS!!!!!!
I understand the criticism with the OP and I agree with it. However, there are trades out there that could be made, that haven't. A good example is a Thaddeus Young trade. One Philly poster said that their GM has always been interested in CJ. It is reasonable to consider CJ and Young as the principals in a swap (Young makes $8, so we'd need to add other players). Young is a very good player, but he's not a shooter so it's a question of him fitting our system. Lots of possibilities to discuss!
Welcome to S2 Dduck . . . I think you just got a harsh but real taste of this board. Hang in there and don't take this stuff personally. Go Blazers
I wouldn't mind seeing the Blazers make a big move this summer, but probably highly unlikely. I'm guessing Blazers are done for the summer. Maybe the can convince a vet on a minimum deal and waive a young player. Trade deadline could be interesting.
Yeah, it would've been just as useful posting an R. Lee Ermey monologue. [video=youtube;71Lft6EQh-Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71Lft6EQh-Y[/video]
lol . . . when oldmangrouch notices this place is not very welcoming, I know it's not just me. Maybe you should rename yourself to oldmanpleasant
I never take "bigshots" negative replies seriously on these boards. These people wouldn't be quite so tough if we were standing face to face I assure you. Thanks for the post.
To be honest your post was incomplete. Who do you want to trade to get Love? What kind of lineup were you thinking about? I don't think LMA would ever agree to re-sign with the T-wolfs so that's not an option. Would the offer of Batum and Wes be as attractive as some of the offers they're getting from the Warriors and Cavs? I don't think the T-Wolves want Lopez. We're not giving up Lillard. What kind of a move did you want the Blazers to make? And yes, if you were to say that in a bar I think you'd get pretty much the same responses. No one insulted you. Some, including myself teased and/or flipped you a little shit but that happens in the real world all the time.
