I agree. He can only do what is actually possible. Getting the team under the tax was the smart move. If you are gonna go over? Do it when you at least have a chance to make a run.

Or to keep a real key player, like Nurk (next season).

After next season, ET's deal turns into a huge asset - a $18.6M expiring contract.

It's being over continually. He avoided that this year. In the next 2-3 years they will have to make the decision to pay for a contender. Neil constantly says Paul is not afraid to pay for a winner. But being smart is still being smart. Why pay this year? They are not going to make it past the second round at the very best. Heck there is a chance they don't even make the playoffs.

Paying this year would have been a massive mistake. One that a lesser GM would make.

I'd pay it if we had to because Nurk needs to get paid. He's still got a lot of potential and is our 3rd best player. Our chances of becoming the winner worth paying for would drop drastically without him. IM
 
If i don't watch out here the "Meltdown Thread" might actually be about basketball?
 
Pretty sure Lillard was asking to become part of the Meltdown thread when he was negotiating with Paul Allen in his private meeting.
@SlyPokerDog have you received any new messages from Paul about this? Whatever it takes to keep our All-Star happy.
 
Here is an even better Meltdown topic.
I just got sent an add for the up coming GS game. Ticket prices start at $67. Also on the add they has the Sac game with ticket prices starting at $9 followed by Minny at $11. This seems to be the problem with the NBA. If they really wanted an even playing field they would not help super teams by allowing for higher prices to their games. I do understand the whole availability thing but go look for a 300 level seat and you will pay much more for GS than Sac. That my friends is why it's tough to knock off the best teams. They can afford to pay and stay over the cap.

Charging more for a Warriors game rather than a Kings game is more money that goes into the home team's coffers (Portland's, in this case). Golden State isn't enriched by that. The Blazers (and every other team) are making more money by charging more for the Warriors games.

Golden State is enriched by how much they can charge for their own home games.

Nah that is not entirely correct. Each team receives revenue from "Game Receipts" otherwise known as ticket sales and boxes from home and road games. They charge more for teams that have star players because those teams demand more and fill the seats.

Can't i just change the name of this one? Wouldn't that save the carbon footprint of making another "Meltdown Thread".
It would be like people would HATE the haters thread for just being there? This is Portland after all. They fucking filled the Willamette River with Kayaks made from petroleum to stop a ship that was going to go set up drilling rigs. And yes all their Subaru's ran on gas to carry their Kayak's to the river.

Yeah, but then I cant start a Haters of the haters of the metldown thread if you just change the name....
 
Warriors fans? Calling all Warriors fans.
This is where you go to talk about the refs missing every call on KD and Curry last night.
You can also spew all the hate for Damian Lillard here.

By the way how does Evan Turner look to you guys now? Wanna take a flyer on the guy?
 
Hey Warriors.... Come out and play-ee-ay
 
This is the most Portland Trailblazers way I can think of to end the season. What a shitshow. Every fucking PTSD fear about being a Blazer fan is staring us in the face. The only one out there that looks like he gives a shit is Nurk... who thought they'd say that a month ago?

The 15 game winning streak was a fun ride, but that team apparently packed up and went home early. No urgency. Even with a win against Utah, they'll still be backpedaling into their 1st round matchup. Whomever they face will be licking their chops at the upset potential.

Sigh.
