Isn't it a well known fact that Denver made us pass on faried if we wanted to get Andre Miller?

Yes it's an established fact. But facts have never stopped anyone on this board from bitching and moaning about moves that were or were not made. :biglaugh:

Houston do not realistically have the assets to trade for Paul George. The earliest mildly valuable pick they can now send is 2020 first round pick, they have almost zero players to give away. Eric Gordon and Clint Capela are probably their most valuable players they could use and even then that doesn't exactly move the needle for Pacers, I bet, and they would be left without center if they use Capela.

Players like Ariza and Onuaku will not get you anything serious. Ryan Anderson with this contract has negative value. It's funny how virtually every single big contract given to a non-elite player last season turned out to be garbage. Whiteside for a max was a no brainer and players like Drummond and Durant were obvious and were still getting incredible deals without cap increase anyway, but out of Biyombo, Noah, Anderson, Crabbe, Turner, Bazemore, Fournier, Deng, Mozgov, Mahinmi and Teletovic - all signed at obscene money just because teams had cash available - not a single one has proven anything but a terrible, terrible disappointment.

How was Crabbe a terrible terrible disappointment? Did anyone expect anything more than what we got? 10ppg and third best three point shooter. When we matched Brooklyn's offer, it's not like that meant we expected him to be a better player than he is.

They do. The dude that used to post over here, marang or whatever writes over there now. I ranted about how i dont like blazersedge and didn't particularly care for his work, so he came back and posted in a defensive manner.

Tunchi used to do that shit too. Rip off comments made here by others, and post them over there as his own. Until, that is, they banned him for it.... Lol
 
Probably gets more then we want to spend on him but this would be a good guy to have on 3rd string (that never plays but practices well). Much worse players riding the end of the benches for teams.

And i swear, everyone at the fucking time knew it was the worst pick, especially considering Kenneth FUCKING Faried was next

What makes it even worse is that prior to becoming GM, Chad Buchanan was our head of college scouting. The fucker should have know Nolan Smith would suck ass, but that was his pick. Did we even land ONE decent college player while Buchanan was our GM? Even though he got the pick from NJ for Wallace, I'm 100% certain if he had been running that draft, he would have fucked it up, too.

He also passed on Eric Bledsoe and Avery Bradley to take Luke Babbitt (via trade) and passed on Trevor Booker to take Elliot Williams - when it was already known at the time of the draft that Williams would need surgery on BOTH knees before even playing his first game in the NBA.

On the bright side, the fucker owes us. Come on Chad, old buddy, how about sending PG13 our way...

The optimist in me wants to believe Chad Buchanan as IND GM makes it more likely for Neil to work a out favorable trade at some point. After all, the more incompetent GMs there are, the better our odds...

The realist in me is resigned to the fact that all it really does is exponentially increase the likelihood of Danny Ainge fucking somebody over.

Stein says Suns are meeting with Blake and Millsap July 1.

Wonder where Neil will go on July 1
 
Since we only have mini mle he would be better off waiting until the free agency money dried up to hopefully snag a guy that wanted more but will settle for less.

So ya, he should hit the beach other than trying to make a trade or two.
 
I wonder if an offer of lottery protected 2018, 2020, 2022 picks along with Harkless, Vonleh, and Aminu would be of interest for Indiana when it comes to Paul George.

I doubt it, especially with all the picks being lottery protected.

Prepare your signs to nail to street poles reading:

LOST SHIT! PLEASE HELP!

I lost my shit in late October and haven't seen it since. It was last seen in downtown Vancouver, WA. I'm having a hard time functioning without it. It turns out that the human body kind of needs it. Will offer cash considerations for any tips.

Call @Cippy91 immediately.

Thanks in advance.

Pretty much. I just can't stand Meyers. I hope Zach collins replaces him as the great white hope on the Blazers and we can erase the memory that was Meyers. What a shitty 5 year ride
 
By the way for anybody who wants to listen to the Lowe podcast from today...

We agree on this. In some way, Meyers is the great uniter of this forum. No matter someone's political or social opinions, we can all unite around a dislike for Meyers. He is the nails and screws that hold this house together.
