Oklahoma City rebuilt their roster very quickly after losing three superstars. Portland, meanwhile, just limps along year after year, always in the middle of the pack, and never with championship potential.

I don’t trust Cronin. The draft picks he has made show a lack of judgement. Yang is only the most recent example of this. The only way Portland makes a really good trade is if Cronin gets lucky.

Don’t blame Murray for this loss. Sharpe took 25 shots and made only 10. He was 1of 8 from three. He shot Portland out of the game.

Portland is always “a couple of pieces away.”

Same thing. They got rid of him.

That’s one of the most embarrassing losses in Blazer history. When you can’t beat the Lakers without their 3 best players, you’re beyond hopeless. And doesn’t that Ayton trade look good!

Sharpe is worthless. If he’s not making shots, he has nothing to contribute. The guy can jump out of the gym, but he somehow can’t manage to average even 5 rebounds a game. Get him out of here. He’s a wanna-be superstar who will never be more than a one-dimensional player.

ESPN is now saying Billups might have informed a gambler about who would be playing in a Blazers game in 2023.

No worries. Chauncey can coach the prison team.

Sharpe is a huge waste of talent. He can’t shoot and he has no interest in rebounding.

Except the players we have aren’t very good. Every season a few pieces get shuffled around, and every season the team is mediocre. Meanwhile, in OKC, where they lost three superstars several years ago, they’ve already rebuilt and become champions.

Anybody can get rid of players. The best GMs figure out how to replace them with better players. Cronin isn’t very good at that.

Deals are happening all over the NBA. So many players are changing teams it’s hard to keep them straight. And yet the best our GM can do is trade one young guard for another guard that is 10 years older—and draft a player no other team would have taken in the first round. This is why the Blazers...

My God, that’s pathetic.
