    Would like to hear the Cronin supporters opinion then if your statement is true.

    Why did Cronin give him a 100 million contract when there were zero teams out there to offer him anything and he was a restricted free agent?

    Why did we slot him primarily as a SG for multiple years after Olshey was let go?

    I support him becoming the GM of the Lakers.

    Totally different players with different games. I think Harold Minor is a better comparison. Hope he does better than Baby Jordan did.

    The question in that poll was "Is Joe Cronin a good GM?" which 11 people voted yes. (edit now its 14 people!!!) I'd say if you think Cronin is a good GM then you are a supporter.

    Who would think he is a good GM but not be a Cronin supporter? Like they think he's good but they want the Blazers to have a bad GM instead.

    Yeah I can see your point. Seems like there's different degrees of support there... But I get what you're asking now.

    I voted he's a good GM. But I'm not going to argue about it.

    I’m not sure what the average GM tenure is. But I’d willing to bet it’s like 5 years. Generally it’s their one shot.

    You have to swing for the fences. Not play it super safe.

    A lot of these GM’s collecting draft assets 3 or 4 years out are collecting them for the next GM.

    We're at a point now where we should hope Scoot's at least that good.

    We'd have to throw in a 1R pick to get the chips.

    At this point I'd be super happy if Scoot was as good of a Blazer as Telfair.
