Heres the truth them not being able to flip Lowry today isnt the issue,the fact that we waited til the 12th hour to do all this is the problem....

We put ourselves into a position where nobody had incentive to pay us what we wanted, we waited too damn long...

I think they just asked for too damn much. I would've just traded him for Maxey and a pick if that was on the table as reported.

You're using way too many napkins.

Breh, there is no play for Lowry. He was never worth $30mil. EVER!!!

No GM in their right mind will think of him as a good pick up. Not at that price.

We should have let him walk instead of extending him.

GT JR is going to command nearly the same money as Norm. Unless he makes a major leap, this is committing to a treadmill


Trent jr is restricted though

Raps can sit back and match any contract given or trade his rights and say move up in the draft I can’t complain

I can't remember the last guy whose bird rights were traded during the draft. If anything they'll just sign and trade him if they can't afford to pay him

I honestly think this is as high as Norm's value is gonna get.. Masai sold at the right time.

Trent is interesting well see how he fits into the rotation.

C position is still :snoop:

I wonder if Portland knows that Powell is a different creature off the bench. If he goes back to playing how he was before he got into the starting lineup the Brinks truck might wheel off on him. Does he even get into the game before Melo?
