    I'm certain you have no idea what "concrete" means.

    If there is actually something happening maybe he can't until it is announced as to not betray his contacts.

    Though he could give better hints, i.e it's not a trade or it has to do with the front office, or the team itself(if it got sold).

    If there isn't anything, well that's fucked

    Scoot has been ready to start since he actually started for 5 games, led the Blazers to wins, had the best stats from the PG position anyone has all season, then got benched.

    Scoot might not have deserved to start last year or the beginning of this season - but he clearly deserves to start today.

    Instead he's backing up players that have zero future with this franchise.

    He also was saying it was gonna be a quiet deadline because of the new cba, and how difficult it was to navigate. And then a bunch of GMs navigated it, and we sat on a half win now, half tank roster.

    He also said that Cronin has never lost a single trade ever. So yeah - I'm not expecting him to ever criticize the people he basically works for.

    People are upset about having another whole year of Raymond Felton (Ant) starting in place of Dame (Scoot)

    If it's not Cronin, then it has to be Kolde and Allen. And like I said about Cleveland Browns' GM, when your owner wants to do something really stupid (in Browns' case trade for and sign Watson), then the honorable thing to do is to threaten to resign if they go through with it.

    That is how Joe has sounded since he got the job... if it's ownership just pass it on to them. Joe hasn't made one trade that's made this team better besides Jerami and he hasn't fully committed to a rebuild. That's abject failure. If he's being held hostage by this fucking not even ownership group... they aren't owners... our team isn't owned... we are part of a trust, instructed to be dissolved and donated to charity. Fuck our situation!

    Now, I either hope for the best tank ever or a bunch of really fun games for the rest of the season because I love this team and I'm not going to quite following them but fuck whoever is keeping us aimed at mediocrity.

    "All three win now players" when he said that, I told me something about is ability to evaluate young players. Or, he just likes to juice things up with crazy comments.

    He's ready *because* he was coming off the bench and wasn't playing well.

    He's playing like we wish he would have been at the start of last season.

    Maybe some of you guys should take time off from watching the team, because you guys are always pissed off about something and have a massively inflated sense of your basketball know how

    I think Joe is living in an NBA version of Seinfeld... Portland Trail Blazers, a team about nothing.

    I wonder if they realize how much it is going to take to really compete with OKC and Spurs over the next ten years.

    Yeah, the Toumani trade did nothing for the team, nor did the Deni trade.

    Just can't take you seriously if that's actually what you believe
