I almost made a joke too, but every time I wrote it out it sounded like telling a woman to do housework. I went with being silent as to not be misconstrued, as crandc has been one of favorites here for a decade at least and they already have to deal with enough bullshit on a day to day basis.

I didn't realize CrandC was a woman.

I trust her to know that we are doing a pattern / food related joke, but I understand the perils of the online discourse limitations.

If anyone thinks I am inappropriate, please tell me, I will either apologize or you deserved it ;)

Nah. You are good. I see nothing untoward. I just had a moment of doubt and was vacillating, so just skipped it. I usually don't post my best material. Haha

Not sure if Brogdon gets traded today. My sources said at the moment he's working the phones with the Saudis and a couple of other Middle Eastern countries trying to trade them sand.

I don’t even think Saudis enjoy pizza

Imagine what Cronin could have attempted to do years ago before Olshey fucked us

It's such a shame he didn't get the helm before the disastrous, what was it 2016 summer? The one where we signed guys for god awful contracts, man my dissociation from the PTSD of that era is so strong I can't for the life of me remember the can't shoot guard we signed for a mint. Maybe I don't want to remember...

I mean Cronin was Olshey's cap guru so....he had some say in those signings.

Damn. I clean the refrigerator, Blazers trade Dame. I have a vegan lunch party, Blazers trade Jrue.

Whats your schedule for the next few days?
I want to know when Blazers are trading Brogdon

I think Cronin is at a minimum an above average GM in Portland history, but right now I personally have him tied for second with Whittsit, and behind the architect of the Drexler-Porter-Williams-Kersey-Duckworth team whose name escapes me.

That would be Bucky Buckwalter with Rick Adelman as coach when they played the Bulls in the '92 finals. Geoff Petrie took over for Buckwalter the next year I believe.
 
The great irony is that the Holiday trade might make the Celtics better than the Bucks, which means the player Milwaukie gave us for Lillard might be the guy who keeps Lillard from winning a title.

Cronin blew up a roster with a top 10 player at his peak performance and got a return for that top 10 player. Who is to say Olshey or any other GM wouldn't be able to successfully maneuver such a scenario? Also, I don't like Cronin. He's a fucking liar and he blows smoke and for some reason he's endearing to people. Give me Olshey every day in terms of personality. I hate this BS reverence for someone like Cronin who alienated one of my favorite players of all-time in any sport.

You told me to “fuck off?” Over a post on here about our GM? You felt you really needed it type that?

I guess this shit on here for him is life and death….. maybe he should start a YouTube show. Since our resident YouTube superstar actually liked the post he told me to fuck off in? This place is getting bananas bro.

Some people are just ridiculous and what can you do? Oh right, put them on ignore. My list is pretty small like 3 people I think?

Injuries are good. Better draft pick!

nobody likes injuries. They're the worst part of sports. Especially if something bad happens and we see the players we root for get carted off.

Does signing oft-injured players work as an excuse if the team struggles to win? That's a fact, Cronin & Billups used the injury cue card quite often last season.

After we were able to draft #3 Scoot, the badly constructed injury prone Blazer roster made perfect sense.

Sounds personal to me. Like they know somebody who was Personally impacted. Or maybe a Miami fan... i don't know.
