Merged: |0fficial| Trade Deadline

[OSUBlazerfan]

RELAX. We didnt hit on our offseason FA targets, because we are Portland Oregon, therefore we had to retain any assets we could (even with an overpay) so don't blame Olshey for that

 

[tester551]

You just said how stupid we were for matching. Now you are saying it is stupid not to dump him if we want someone else instead?
We lose nothing by matching Brooklyn, as long as we can get out if it. And I still believe we can.

It's going to cost to get out of it.

 

[SwissBlazer]

Booooooooooooooooooooooring.

I'm just saying man, people don't understand how bad Olsheys fuck ups in the summer have hurt us all because he couldn't let his draft picks get away in Meyers and Crabbe specifically and overpaying for Turner. I don't know what else they tried but it seems we just wanted to get rid of Ezeli. The defensive big you needed was sitting there all along at 22 years old and people like me and others here have been wanting that trade for months but whatever make up for it in the draft. I just absolutely despise Meyers, the Crabbe decision, he is inconsistent. I just don't know anymore. Never know what this organization will do

Atleast were not the Kings hahah

Cousins
McDermott
Gibson
Ibaka

Cousins: the way Sac handled it most of the league had no chance
Gibson: a 28 game rental and then a UFA - we missed nothing
Ibaka: another UFA who is goin to get a huge payday and probably would not sign here anwyay - no miss there
McDermott: a meh player (awful defender) who a talent deprived CHI is already ready to move

 

[Natebishop3]

The time honored tradition of fans being butt hurt because an imaginary trade didn't happen.

We made a trade.

We got Nurkic. Would you guys have been happy if Neil had waited to complete that trade today?

This line of thinking ignores the concept of opportunity cost, and many would argue that Noel being dealt to Dallas for a 2 second round picks instead of bringing him to Portland is a huge opportunity cost.

 

[Blazinaway]

If it is on the internet it must be true.

the Trump virus spreads

 

[Blazinaway]

I didn't read it, it was on Zach Lowes podcast where Marc stein says it for fucks sake

so he said it, does that make it a fact or true? people say BS all the time, just look at our national leaders

 

[Pinwheel1]

Nerlens>Crabbe. Just watch. Dallas had it right

Well we won't be the only ones you prove wrong. Not many teams wanted him, or they would have offered more.

 

[Cippy91]

I am sick of this assets talk. Okay we have assets, use them. Don't sit on your hands like Boston. I just wish we would of gone after Nerlens. That's it. Don't care about anything else, prove me some shit in the summer. Justin anderson and a second round pick got Nerlens. You telling me we couldn't do that? we could but didn't you know why? our monumental summer fuck ups, just paying bums left and right

 

[Blazinaway]

Olshey comin up on Woj broadcast

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Neil about to be on Woj show

 

[Cippy91]

so he said it, does that make it a fact or true? people say BS all the time, just look at our national leaders

Chandler was linked to us multiple times in the past couple months by credible people

 

[jlprk]

Olshey will take time away from his nap!

 

[Blazers Roy]

I'm still not mad about Crabbe's contract.
He got 18.5 mil' for being our 3rd best scorer at the time and tall wings who are great shooters are valuable around the league.

Turner+Meyers+Ezeli contracts are 33 mil'. All 3 of them are useless for their price. Turner was barely a 6th man at fucking Boston. No value whatsoever.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

He's gonna spew some Trump level bullshit

 

[Cippy91]

Olshey coming up on this deadline show. Wonder what he will say

 

[Blazers Roy]

Neil is going live on Woj show!#@$%#$

[jlprk]

This will be interesting.

 

[Blazinaway]

Chandler was linked to us multiple times in the past couple months by credible people

what does "linked mean"? maybe we wanted to trade them Meyers and get Chandler and a pick, so they turned us down - who really knows

 

[jlprk]

Says these hours were dead. Phone dead since yesterday.

 

[Blazers Roy]

Omg im already mad!!
"it was kinda dead"?!?!
"Phones stopped ringing" GET ON THE PHONE MOFO

 

[Cippy91]

There ya go. Olshey says the deadline for us was "pretty dead"

The way sac handled that, anyone could've gotten him.

 

[Cippy91]

God have mercy on our souls

 

[Blazers Roy]

He was content with the Nurk deal.

Returns to his "realistic\not realistic" rhetoric...

 

[Cippy91]

Listening to Olsheys bullshit drives me crazy at this point

 

[Cippy91]

This dude is still high on Crabbe. I can't
