OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: APRIL 2023

[KingSpeed]

If Dame feels like the team has disrespected him he will ask out. He doesn't seem like the type of person who just says something only to go back on it.

Exactly. He has said he wants to play his whole career in Portland. Like you said, he doesn’t say something just to go back on it.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Three of his moves are deadline moves but yes the conversation is more about the entire season.

My apologies for misunderstanding the scope of your "I can name 3 moves that would have made this team not just a little but a bunch better" statement. I apparently incorrectly thought you were talking specifically about the trade deadline.

That's nice of you, apology accepted.

So then we could finish outside of the lottery without being a real playoff threat and not gain any significant assets this offseason, wasting Dame's prime. Maybe we could target draft our medicare first rounder for a middling over the hill talent that doesn't work out.

Are you Olshey or Cronin?

The point is not whether tanking was good or bad. The point is that Cronin did tank the season and the question is, did he tank it unintentionally or intentionally?
I think a lot of people are wondering about this.
Because if he really was trying to win until Josh Hart was traded, he did a lousy job.

I can see the confusion. Probably more my fault than yours. I apologize for that.

Please spell it out for me in clearer terms. I can't figure out the point. It's so elusive and confounding.

 

[boredinsalem]

Why’d you type it?

It was over the line. My apologies. Deleted. You are a fun guy on the forum and I shouldn't have made that joke.

 

[THE HCP]

I don’t mind people cracking on me, I give it out, and damn sure can take it. You don’t owe me an apology, just seemed like you were pissed at me.

5 straight replies to a harmless crack. That too, in response to you calling him "maam."

Are you sure you can take it?

I apologize for the trolling. Not mad at you. Just taking out some frustration because I'm having a hard time dealing with the death of my great grandmother in a tragic water-skiing incident.

Doesn't like she was bored.

I'm sorry for your loss. "the death of my great grandmother in a tragic water-skying incident." definitely caught me off guard and while it might be tragic for you and your family, it's pretty impressive that a great grandmother was water-skying.

She wasn't water-skiing. She was minding her own business and a water-skier robbed her at gunpoint.

 

[blazerkor]

She wasn't water-skiing. She was minding her own business and a water-skier robbed her at gunpoint.

So she was shot by a water-skier???

Yeah I apologized for that. Didn’t realize calling him ma’am would be considered such an insult.

My advice is don’t give @boredinsalem your credit card numbers when he asks…

 

[PtldPlatypus]

So she was shot by a water-skier???

Obviously not. He said she was robbed, not shot. He clearly robbed her and then took off on water skis, at which point her foot got caught in the tow rope, and she was pulled into the water and drowned.

Context, people.

 

[wizenheimer]

So she was shot by a water-skier???

impaled

 

[Chris Craig]

What the hell is going on in this thread?!

A grandma got killed water skiing?

 

[SharpesTriumph]

No, a great grandma was trying to disarm a bank robber while he was water skiing. Then she got mad there were no reruns of grays anatomy so she traded Watford for Giannis.

 

[noknobs]

The officiating in the NBA is really unacceptable. There's a jumpball, and one of the two guys jumping for the ball gets blatantly elbowed in the face by the other guy jumping for the ball and nothing? There's three of you!

 

[Mr. Robot]

sabonis has been a joke in the playoffs

I'd take him.

 

[Mr. Robot]

I'd take him.

hed fit right in, hed help us keep losing in the 1st round

 

[wizenheimer]

Keegan Murray is evidence of the value of a top-5 pick, just like Sharpe is of a top-7 pick

and Malik Monk is evidence of the value of not wasting an MLE....like for instance using an MLE on Gary Payton

I know. You can’t make that stuff up.

 

[THE HCP]

Bro we don’t even MAKE the first round anymore.
