I went with nobody. Winning 9 of 10 leading into the trade deadline was the worst gift to hand to Cronin, Jody and Vulcan. They beat up on bad and massively flawed teams.
who didn't play in last night's game? a player who was involved in a pending trade, or even a maybe trade, 36 hours before the trade deadline would have sat. Looks like Clingan and Thybulle were the only guys who sat and Thybulle is pretty irrelevant. this deceptive winning streak could very well end up being the worst thing that could have happened this year. It's killed Portland's odds at a high draft pick and given Cronin cover to sit on his hands and do nothing at the deadline
I’m so confused why we would keep Thybulle at this point (I’d just take the second/s) but perhaps they’re actually making a playoff run
You're assuming anyone's offering something for him. I mean, given how many minutes we're giving to vets at the expense of young players, I can't believe that Matisse has been healthy all this time and they're just holding HIM (of all the players) out. And if he really hasn't been healthy this whole time, then what the hell is wrong with him?
I think Rob is most likely to be traded. I'm ready for Joe not to do anything even though as the coaches and players on the roster strive to be better, I wish Joe was striving to make the roster even better. I don't think it's at all out of the realm of possibilities that Rob, Jerami and Ant all go... it's just not likely. Also why would you put "Blazer(s)" in the poll question and not allow for us to pick more than one Blazers player??? Some of me thinks that Joe is doing a lot of posturing and he may have already been offered enough to move every vet on the team (Deandre, Jerami, Ant, Rob and Tisse) and Joe is saying no to those offers hoping for better but will circle back late tonight/early tomorrow and take the best offers he's heard. Or Joe thinks his shit doesn't stink, he's drinking the Kool Aid he mad and feels this roster can't get better but fuck, if that's his assessment we're in a lot of trouble until this guy is no longer our GM. I still don't think this team wins a 7 game series against any playoff team. I know the young guys could get a lot better but they'd have to in order for us ever to be competitive in the playoffs. No moves would make me pretty weary of what the next few seasons might look like. I have decided just to enjoy the wins for now. I'll be disappointed if no moves are made but prepared for it. That will leave me elated if any solid moves happen over the next 25 hours and 28 minutes.
The thing about waiting in hopes a better offer crops tomorrow is those trans may just go elsewhere, leaving us without possible destinations for guys like Grant.
Oh, Joe could be fucking this shit up a thousand different ways. I guess my post was just saying there's also a chance and I don't really see it, that Joe has this train on the right tracks.
maybe the Blazers know he's going to opt-out of the final year of his contract and leave this summer. And maybe teams aren't even offering a 2nd for him and the Blazers would have to add one to dump him
