Which is why moving up and drafting someone at 10 who MIGHT be good in a year or 2 in a loaded draft is ridiculous.

Everyone available were "might be" or "might not bes". You're acting like there was a sure thing in that point in the draft but there wasn't.

You're acting like because he has long-term potentisl he's not good...

You've probably never successfully baked anything before because you couldn't see past what is was before it was supposed to go in the oven.

There were certainly players who were more of a sure thing than Collins
 
OK Here is my Meltdown!

Time for the dreaded "Players Only" Meeting!

Obviously this is conjecture. But there have been a couple things that have happened recently and then we see major problems on the court. Lackluster play and a feeling of just overall lack of team unity.

First you have Jason Quick doing a story on Harkless and it pretty much has him throwing his team mates under the bus for his lack of effectiveness and poor play. This was followed immediately with his benching. Quick for all his awesome ability as a writer has gone the way of easy street video and now seems to simply be a poor man's Canzano. Stirs the pot to get the next juicy morsel.

Then you have the Boo Birds taking 5 years of disdain out on Meyers Leonard for missing a shot in an 8 minute shift that had very little to do with a loss. The fans had starters coming forward unprovoked to say "It was Wrong". It was wrong and totally classless. These are not the best fans in the league any longer if this is the way they are going to react.

Speaking of fans. Has there even been a sellout this year? Not sure on that? But i have noticed a lot of empty seats. Then there is an issue with the ones that actually do go sitting on their hands for three quarters trying to figure out how to make an $11 beer last? Not to mention trying to understand why anyone would name their arena "Moda". Even the name of the place is bad.

The Blazers are not just playing bad. They are not playing as a team. The players look to be uninterested and don't seem to care. My feeling is a combination of Quick disease and Boo fever plus just an overall lack of talent is the problem. You cannot make up for lack of talent without a bunch of hard work. Right now they are not working hard together.

I love my Blazers but they are sick right now....

Kjironman is always a fan!!!
 
Is the weave the only way Terry can get these guys to move? Holy shit, do they look awful on offense. There are no forceful cuts to the rim, no conviction with any of their movement. And most of the passes by anyone else outside of Dame/Nurk seem forced, almost as if they're obliged to make a pass because they shot the past three times. Guys just aren't playing free. That is on Terry and Dame to get back on track.

I hate scapegoating coaches, but this looks so stale. Guys need a jolt.
 
My take...the guys know somebody is on the trade block and the team is pouting, knowing changes are coming.

Dude... The best case scenario for Smith Jr. Is to be as good as Lillard. Why would we trade the face of our franchise for somebody who is likely to never be as good? That's ridiculous. Fuck.. the forum is going down the drain with stuff like this.

Because he is 8 years younger and we win nothing with Dan

Because Smith is much younger, much cheaper and with Dame we win nothing. We are Stuck in mediocricy with the 3rd highest payroll. We probably make the playoffs and then get sweeped by the warriors or rockets, and next year again, and then again, is that what you want? I don't like first round exit's anymore

Sorry, couldn’t resist.

No need to apologize. It was funny.
I just think it's good that he is still positive. This team needs some help and staying positive is going to be important.

Well we disagree on that. So lets just say my opinion differs. Like i said. You had multiple players coming forward unprovoked to defend the guy. The whole team was shocked by it. Certainly if you have Dame making a personal statement to address it. The fans in the Moda lost some respect from the players on the team that night. It is showing in their play. Seems like they are all the sudden playing for money and who really cares about anything else.

No, they are showing in their play what they already are... not that fans rightfully booed an inconsistent player.

In fact, they should boo Turner, too. So really, they are slacking.
 
Meltdowns many today there are....
