Simons is purely a scorer. He’s a not as good version of Lou Williams. Quit apologizing to us.
Would like to hear the Cronin supporters opinion then if your statement is true.

Why did Cronin give him a 100 million contract when there were zero teams out there to offer him anything and he was a restricted free agent?

Why did we slot him primarily as a SG for multiple years after Olshey was let go?

Who is a Cronin supporter? Are there any?
 
I'm not sure if just saying he's fine as a GM would make somebody a supporter.

Seems like an average to better than average GM might make those decisions for various reasons...
The question in that poll was "Is Joe Cronin a good GM?" which 11 people voted yes. (edit now its 14 people!!!) I'd say if you think Cronin is a good GM then you are a supporter.

Who would think he is a good GM but not be a Cronin supporter? Like they think he's good but they want the Blazers to have a bad GM instead.

Yeah I can see your point. Seems like there's different degrees of support there... But I get what you're asking now.

I’m not sure what the average GM tenure is. But I’d willing to bet it’s like 5 years. Generally it’s their one shot.

You have to swing for the fences. Not play it super safe.

A lot of these GM’s collecting draft assets 3 or 4 years out are collecting them for the next GM.
 
Totally different players with different games. I think Harold Minor is a better comparison. Hope he does better than Baby Jordan did.

We're at a point now where we should hope Scoot's at least that good.

is it reassuring that he's clearly better than Nolan Smith?

Some of the players Scoot compares statistically the most similarly to from age 19-21;

Emmanuel Mudiay
Dennis Smith Jr
Dion Waiters
Elie Okobo
Tony Wroten
Archive Goodwin
Blake Wesley
Marcus Williams
DeShawn Stevenson

For every Chauncey Billups or Steve Nash that developed a bit late as a PG there's a couple dozen of these guys.

Was it Coach K who recommended him so strongly to McMillan that he had to have him? Or have I got one or both names wrong? Don't really trust my memory on this one.
