Another let it bake article

I hate that trade so much... This season would've been so fun with t-rob and Barton.

Yeah. That trade was really Neil's only mistake. Trob, Barton and pick. Blech

It seemed like an okay idea when our window for winning was LaMarcus's and not Lillard's... now it looks foolish for sure, but only as a symptom of the foolishness in catering to LaMarcus in the first place.

Yeah. The big mistake was not trading that tool when we had the chance.

I disagree with the article. The only young player that we might have to give up is Leonard and we would still have Vonleh, who could become a better player than Leonard. And as far as him saying the free agents out there are risky, well I certainly don't think Mahinmi and Horford are risky and I would go after both.

Yup... the cap space is definitely a "now or never" situation. With Dame kicking in, and then CJ/Plumlee next summer, and most likely Crabbe/Harkless and possibly Meyers.... there won't be any room left.

So this part of the article isn't true?

"General manager Neil Olshey can simply ride the roster he has right now if his preferred targets are not available and likely still make the playoffs. That's a luxury not a lot of general managers have. Then, next offseason, he could go after one of the many high-caliber players that will be available in a very deep free agency class."

Yeah, Dame's max contract makes that statement impossible.

Charles Barkley was adamant that the Blazers have to sign Meyers (and Crabbe). He said it like three or four times. And Shaq and Co. didn't tell him he was a dolt. Apparently Charles sees a significant benefit to the team in Meyers' skill set that a lot of posters here do not.

Not that this really needs to be said, but it's Barkley. I was recently listening to sports talk down here in the Bay Area and on came former Kings coach Eric Musselman. He spoke of sitting in with the TNT crew one game night. He relayed watching the first half of the game with the guys, but that Charles was screaming at the TV in the adjacent room with some of the production guys watching pro wraslin'. When halftime rolled around he rejoined the set, glanced at the box score & then proceeded to do a majority of the talking breaking down the first half's play w/Musselman unable to say much more then hello.

I hope they make a run at Ezeli

This does not surprise me. I've said many times in the past that I doubted Barkley even watches NBA basketball. For some reason I got the impression this year either I was wrong or he's been paying more attention. It couldn't be because he's saying what I like to hear, could it? Haha.
