Powell's last tweet was a retweet from Powells books thanking him for a donation

The one before that was a pic of him sitting on the pinwheel at the PF.

Hes been working with Elleby all summer

No other team of signifiance has $.

We need to stop freaking out. It's gonna happen

I think the freak out is mostly because if he is gone then Dame will be gone too as we will have no other way to improve. But yeah competition for his signature is non existent now
 
So I havent been following the Blazers or NBA in general. What is the thinking on Melo/Kanter/DJJ

Are they coming back?
 
One more theory for the delay. They want dame on a call with the FO and Powell and he prolly just woke up an hour or so ago in Tokyo.

Melo is gone to either LA or NYK

Kanter is a ?

DJJs option was picked up. Could still trade him
 
Kinda odd all the teams that had cap room to sign Powell have basically used it all and he still hasn’t been signed..

I read where the deal needs to be hammered out to be for four years so that the average cost works better cap wise. May take awhile to come to a final agreement.

Nope. I don't blindly follow a shitty gm and wear rose colored glasses with everything the Blazers do like some.

He sucks as a gm.

I don't either. But i don't make it personal like many either. I mean, there are plenty of signings, and trades to be made throughout the league still in the days to come. It's not like tonight's it! No more deals allowed.

Video makes him look like a good shot blocker but has only averaged .6 and .7 blocks per 36 in his last two years.

Well, you know how it is with highlight vids, guys ALWAYS put in plays where they look like schmucks.

Its not personal. It is business. If you suck at your job you gotta go. As easy as that.
 
Duncan Robinson salary is the same as Norm

I don't see him as being awful.. Maybe to careful at taking a chance, or flyer, but he's made good deals as well. I don't blame him for LaMarcus. But his teams have been competitive. And dealt some bad breaks. But he ain't terrible.
 
Powell signed for 5 year 90 million?
 
Yes and at the money i had predicted was good.

Evan Turner was terrible. Zach Collins was terrible.

Too happy just being in the playoffs. Olshey is like a 15-20 general manager. That is fine if you are on a team that attracts talent because of location. Small market teams need a top 5 gm.
