How's everyone feel about Smokin' Joe Cronin now?

Ooooh the Nets? Get dem young guns and picks!

 

this team got so bad, Cronin said eff it and grenaded the sucker at the trade deadline, in arguably the biggest single team trade explosion in NBA history.

 

He did Dame wrong? WTAF? Bro he sent him to Milwaukee to win a championship with Giannis and didn't bend to Riley/Goodwin. Man you got some just straight awful takes. Oh but I'm moving on now so no need to respond or rehash.

 

I'm starting to love Cronin to answer the original post's question. I am excited to see what we get from Jrue and I'm SUPER excited to see what Scoot, Sharpe and Ayton do together and to start the new era!

Gooooooo BLAZERS!

 

I think Jerami's contract is easily tradable between mid January and the deadline. There will be teams that need an impact player, a guy that can come in and start for them at either forward spot and those teams will have a draft pick, maybe even two. We will have featured Jerami heavily and I think offloading him won't only be easy, it will be profitable.

 

Jrue Holiday for Harden's expiring and 1 Philly first?

$$$ Jody cashing in on the Blazers tank $$$

 

You know that spouter Danny Marang ??
He was bragging about Cronin getting Giannis this summer. Hmmm... I wonder how the exact opposite happened and Bucks got Lillard ??
coincidence ?? or falsifying insider info ??

 

It doesn't matter. He won't be here long.

 

Joe, what have you done?



Ant is the only remaining player Joe hasn't traded yet

 

herro would have probably been broken up and pieces sent to phoenix for ayton—I'm not sure what was left would have netted a lot or been worth as much as jrue.

 

You still want to argue this? You have some awful takes too, from wanting to trade the farm for Ben Simmons to thinking the NBA is going to burn to the ground because of this Dame saga. Mine is based off what I've heard. You still want to scream at me and I want to move on. So lets move on.

 

Jrue is definitely worth more, just don't know if it's that much more to make a major difference between the packages.

 

He did what he thought was best for the team. That's it. Still think he did Dame wrong in the leadup. We disagree. Don't plan on arguing this anymore.

 

Anyone who thinks Blazers did Dame wrong after he got maxed out by Blazers more than he could have anywhere else… yeah, no.

Dame should’ve asked out prior to signing that deal if he wanted to do dick-ish things this off-season. I’d agree with his feelings if he’d have done it prior to signing that deal.

 

I'm OK with the moves he's made. You've gotta tear down the old building before you can build the new one. He's no worse than John Nash so he's not the worst GM we've ever had.

But all his blah blah blah about being committed to building around Dame and then doing the exact opposite in pretty much every move makes me think he's actually bad at his job. Either he really thought he could build a contender around Dame and meant what he said, in which case he's incompetent. Or he has been lying this whole time and has always wanted to rebuild.

 

It will be interesting to see if the article from Chris Haynes coming out today detailing the last few months (which he was promoting last night on NBA TV) will try to make Joe look bad. I think he used the word messy in describing the last few months. He essentially said Joe refused to take any of Miami's calls. That it was personal. My guess is that is an embellishment. (Maybe it happened once?)
