We were down 4 with 7 minutes left.


Just a glorious tank job.
 
You know it's full tank when you lose at home by double digits to a magic team trying to tank.
 
This is going to be hard to watch for the next couple of months. It's one thing if you have some young guys that you realistically think will grow into being part of a rotation on a winning Blazers team, but -- apologies to the GB3 and Watford fans -- there is no one on this roster that fits that description.

In two years, you might have two guys that were on the floor tonight with the Blazers still with the team. I suspect it will be fewer than that.
 
Embarrassing ? really

This is a lost season and outside of seeing what we have with a select few players we should be losing like it's cool to get the best draft pick possible

I know it sucks to see the Blazers in this spot but that is where they are at and only chance maybe to get out of it is through the draft and other moves.

If we actually got something useful back out of those "other moves," that'd be applicable.
 
Dame should recruit his Olympic Buddy Zach Lavine next season
 
I am not going to debate the other moves til after the deadline and the draft til then -- I see the moves as a gamble that if it pays off great but if not then -- be prepared for some dark dark days in Ripcity

I know it's scary to take such a gamble and Cronin might go down as the worst GM of all time IF the gamble does not pay off but at least he was bold and did something that NeO was unwilling to do.

bold?

giving up starters for little to no value is not bold. it's easy.

Blazers out tank the worst team in the league! We'll of course talk more about the CJ trade from this morning and where the Blazers are going from here. Come join us!

Nah Olshey does. The risks had to be taken BECAUSE of Olshey. That's not all on Cronin.

I mean this is a chance for Nurk to show he can be the man and he doesn’t care.

It doesn’t take much for Nurk to turn into baby Nurkic. If he really got told no on in the core would get traded before trade deadline, that’s probably what’s happening.
 
How about Bledsoe for Siakam and we make a favorable second trade with Toronto sending Nurkic and a couple 2nds for Boucher?
