Dexo posted:it's hard as gently caress to win a ring in the NBA unless you have one of the like top 20 best players of all time on your team. And even then... I'd be lying if I didn't say that part of my emotions re: Dame leaving is just simple relief that we can get off this bullshit up here. I get that it'll just be replaced with some new variant of the same discussion w different players, but I'm so ready for a changeup. Seriously we've been scapegoating Dame's garbage defense for literally a decade, let's have "Scoot's a ballhog who will never lead a team to the WCF" or "Shaedon needs to stop settling for outside shots or this team is going nowhere." The fact that I would at this point genuinely prefer Ben Simmons chat to Dame chat says it all. Gimme Ben and all the picks, start from scratch with a weird team that doesn't work and gets all the dunks and none of the wins, I don't much care I would just watch the poo poo out of it

Well in so much that I disagree with them running back Zach Vooch and DeMar, but if they are I like the signings they've made on the margins.

Torrey Craig is another good pickup and now I'm stuck between "A ton of players seem to be playing for less than their worth this FA season" or "Maybe I just think a bunch of really marginal guys are actually good?"

Mean Baby posted:Olshey could have traded CJ and a pick for George. He, and probably Dame, were too attached to CJ. I'm not sure Indy takes that offer over Sabonis and Dipo. I think there was a really small window where CJ could've brought back the talent Portland needed, and the fact that Portland missed that window isn't that surprising or upsetting. The Blazers were more or less hosed when Aldridge left and the Blazers owed the Nuggets their pick from the Afflalo trade. That meant the Blazers couldn't tank and get the assets they would need to put a team and Dame. At that point we were playing blackjack with 16 and the dealer showing a 9. If we stay we prolly lose, if we hit we also probably lose.

He'll end up looking more like a ball-handling wing on offense, Zach, Demarr and Vooch will still be the main engines on offense. Honestly, he was a great pickup for the Bulls, truly. He should wear 9 like Ronnie Harper did.

I think people were also tired of hearing how Dame wanted to stay and continue to build after every rumor. Chalk it up to the general discourse being about rings and transactions, and Dame's situation in Portland wasn't contributing to either

Hand Knit posted:Dalano Banton signed with Boston, which feels more than slightly heretical. At times I thought he was going to be lucky to land a contract outside of Toronto where he had so much goodwill, but I guess there's still a lot of potential with his size. Will be sad if he learns to shoot/tighten his handle on Boston but happy he 's getting another shot.

In assessing Portland's GMs, Olshey hosed up a good amount in ways that were largely evident at the time. From the outside it seems like Cronin is playing the relatively crappy cards about the best he can. Tanking last season instead of fighting for the play in was the right move. Doing the same the previous year without Dame was the right move. Shaedon and Scoot are high quality prospects. It makes sense to let one of them go for a Mikhail Bridges or somebody equivalent but it doesn't seem like that trade was out there to make at the right price. It doesn't help that Portland's future draft picks have been tied down by owing that 1st to the Bulls. I really don't see the counterfactual of what Cronin could have done these past two years to build a better team around Lillard. Sometimes things don't go your way. Trying to force the issue is how you end up paying Evan Turner 70 million dollars.

Papes posted:The only reason they got past Denver in round 2 is because CJ dropped 40 in game 3 and 7. Dame scored 13 points in 45 minutes in game 7. Not really a carry job imo. This is brain worm debate. The only reason[historical thing] happened is because [history surrounding it]. Every single loving playoff run by every single team in every single sport is exactly like this, with a few rare exceptions. Don't be a rube Edit: further that was like CJ's only good game, he was largely rear end for the entire post season, so that's less "not a carry job" and more "one other player has a really good game" OH WORD SON fucked around with this message at 19:48 on Jul 3, 2023 |

Lockback posted:Good deal. I think he needs to get all-NBA or MVP to hit that number though. Glad it was all settled though. I feel like I'm going insane when I'm seeing other Wolves fans and the punditry fret over the second apron, which this caused another round of. Best as I can tell, it means they won't be able to use the taxpayer MLE (as if Lore&ARod were going to do so while in the repeater tax anyway), won't be able to sign and trade Gobert for players after his contract expires, won't be able to aggregate player salaries to get another star (with what picks?!), won't be able to raid the buyout market (have they done so even once in franchise history?) and will temporarily be unable to trade their first round pick seven years from next year? I cannot fathom how that translates into "new CBA means we have to trade KAT by the 2024 season" but  Now the focus goes to Jaden. Starting to feel like $125/4 but that may still end up low.

That all-time best playoff performance Dame had against the Nuggets was a loss largely because CJ sucked and stepped out of bounds in double overtime.
