So I ask again....
It all starts with the franchise not having a clear strategic direction. We should have committed 100% to a long term rebuild the day we traded Dame, and that meant trading all vets for whatever value they can have and only have vets like Timelord that provide good defense/work ethic/intangibles/etc - or vets that were sent here with picks.I am at a loss for words. Well, not really. I am afraid nobody on the organization knows where this team is heading. Chauncey instills in the fans anything but confidence. What is the team's identity? Shit? That would seem to be accurate. Wish they would just sell the team and clean house. Everyone should just be let go. Not a single reason to keep GM, coaches etc. Why? Could a team look any worse? It wouldn't be so bad if there was something to give you a bit of hope to say "yeah moving in the right direction".
I daresay if they landed Flagg they would ruin him and/or not know what to do with him. For example:
Scoot, a mediocre at best shooter, playing off the ball? Check.
Ayton taking 3s? Check.
Starting two guards that are allergic to defense? Check.
Playing vets over young guys on a tanking team? Check.
Outside of the Blazers netting a top 4 pick in this draft I don’t see a very bright future for the franchise.
The concerning part is even with a pick at the top of this lottery I'm not confident the Blazers will be able to put a good team around that player over the next 5+ years.Outside of the Blazers netting a top 4 pick in this draft I don’t see a very bright future for the franchise.
I was a bit miffed by the Clingan pick but he's blown my expectations away.
No sane fan cares about saving their franchise money. Yeah those sane fans might worry about overspending on player salaries because of cap ramifications but no one should ever worry about saving the franchise money overall.Hopefully by the time POR gets all 4 2028 and 2029 FRPs they will have some direction. They don't have a franchise player. No sane NBA fan would want to keep Cronin or Billups for any other reason than to save money. Billups will ride out his contract here you can be sure then become an assistant somewhere or a college coach. He will never lead an NBA team after POR.
Hold on FAMS…..we were told he was a “CHAMPIONSHIP LEVEL TALENT”Deni is fine to watch but he's not the type of player to change an unwatchable team to watchable.
He's a great side dish, but that's not helpful when the main is crap.
That'll be $30The reason to go to games is those scrumptious cokes and hot dogs.
I feel the same about you and your posts here. Have low expectations, yet am pleasantly surprised by you daily.I was a bit miffed by the Clingan pick but he's blown my expectations away.
Painful to watch but I’ll still tune in to watch Sharpe, Scoot and Clingan.
Clingan was super fun to watch early this season. Also a couple games of Timelord were great - he's the one vet I'd be super happy to watch too.
I also loved seeing our defense when we had all these huge wings out there trying hard. Ayton and Ant both turned the defense to unwatchable shit though.
Sharpe has had moments. I don't have much hope for Scoot but will enjoy watching him in a bench role if we get rid of the vets.
Think we’ve all noticed when Sharpe feels like he is the guy his game assertiveness goes way up. I still think he can be the star but this deferring to other players needs to end.
Quit watching regularly two years ago. Never started watching this year other than a few games when nothing else is happening.
I think if vets are traded and keys handed to young guns you’ll see them play way more aggressively. I still think PG is hardest position in basketball to play so I want to see a full year with Scoot running it. Decisions need to be made soon especially if we are top 5 in next years draft.

I don’t think that’s an actual picture of him FAMS! No wonder my packages are always late….. sigh^ this guy gets it and he only needs one eye to figure it out.
Sharpe is the future. The present is meaningless. Get rid of the vets and showcase the kids.
