Cronin deserves to be fired for not taking the New Orleans pick. (4 Viewers)

Solid guess. I have a gut feeling Cronin stays and Splitter goes

Seems reasonable. If we’d missed the play-in they both would have been gone. If we miss the playoffs, that’s on Splitter. If we make the playoffs, they probably both stay.

Catching strays. What the actual FUCK!!!!!!

Sly, handle this unabashed personal attack

Sorry man. I said you were critical. Not negative.

Being critical of something doesn't mean it has to be negative. Some people just view it as so because they can't handle criticism.

Ya that can happen too. But I think it’s more the latter IMO

sure....but it's impossible to gauge by won/loss records because of the blatant tanking. Eyeball test says yes though

I just didn't agree that the 'rebuild started when Dame was traded. It started well before even though the Blazers never leaned all the way in. Bet-hedging and fence-straddling is a blazer way of life

If they didn't lean in, then by definition it wasn't a rebuild.

They basically tore the team down to the studs.

And that wasn't until they got rid of Damian. Before that it was trying to tinker. You could argue, successfully I might add, that they SHOULD have started it sooner, not that doesn't change when they finally thru in the towel.

Like look at the Bucks. They haven't started their rebuild yet, even tho this year was atrocious. It won't start till they jettison Giannis, otherwise it's not a true rebuild but just moving the chairs on the lido deck as the boat angles towards an iceberg.

One of New owners (possibly the Panda Express guy) specifically mentions China and Hansen Yang in the introductory press conference. I think there is a good chance ownership looks at this very differently than some fans do.

Purely for money reasons. Also, Cronin and/or Splitter should for SURE be fired for not losing that game to LAC.

it was a rebuild....I know it, so do you though you won't admit it now

that Portland was half-assing their way thru a rebuild doesn't make it 'not-a-rebuild'
