Blazers sign Tony Snell

[Sheldon Shape]

These signings have Hezonja/Tolliver vibes

In that they are minimum deal guys, sure. Every team has them. Now hopefully we don't have another incompetent coach like Stotts giving them playing time over other guys that deserve it.

Frank Ntilikina I would have preferred to McLemore

Do we have a SF right now that can effectively shoot the 3 better than Snell? I think most teams want Little included in any trade. I can see the need for Snell.

my bad I meant to write McLemore, NOT Snell

I’m glad you can enjoy a good quarter. We have a few of those every season, and then we always say, “Wait till next year.” Been doing that for 45 years.

I've enjoyed the team for all 45 years...enjoyed them this season too..I don't meltdown when they don't win a ring year after year...I wouldn't be a fan if I didn't enjoy the Blazers. We've had contending teams over those 45 years...we made the WCF in the west just two years ago with a one armed Kanter as a center...all that with out multiple allstars on the roster...that was fun...now with a rookie coach I think it'll take more than one season to get back there but I hope they surprise me.

Really?? You sound like one of those Blazer fans who’s been mired in mediocrity for so long that you’ve lowered your expectations. This team has not won a title since 1977. Nothing short of that will ever be a successful season to me. I’m sick of watching teams like the Lakers and Celtics and Warriors and Heat win multiple titles while Portland limps along like an also-ran year after year.

There are 1o teams of 30 that have won championships over the last 40 plus years? and we are ONE
Its about TV contracts and fan forums that feed the NBA beast thats a marketing machine.

Wonder why this isn’t official yet
