@BlazetheNugs I’m just saying I do* think the price to undo them would be worse. The Bucks picks and swaps are too valuable (they just had a horrible deadline) to be used on such a cost-cutting move. You say I’m “defending them” when I just I don’t want them to make more bad decisions

@BlazetheNugs Refusing to see how the Smart trade is connected to Portland’s situation with their veterans is actually the exact opposite of looking at trades in a vacuum. I’m not sure you know what that phrase means.

@BlazetheNugs There are rumors and there are offers. Seems like all those Lakers rumors last summer with Grant were totally bullshit

@BlazetheNugs You’re getting mad at the wrong person. I’ve consistently said they should have traded Grant and Simons. But I’m also not gonna sit here and act like there were a lot of good deals for them just sitting there.

@BlazetheNugs I have said and written they should have traded him before in the summer and said the contract was too long the moment they signed him. They also probably shouldn’t give up picks to get off of those deals. Multiple things can be true.

@BlazetheNugs And the Grizzlies generally operate in a way I wish the Blazers would. So if they had to give up a first to undo the Smart mistake I would imagine Portland was looking at a similar situation re: JG.

@BlazetheNugs So you think they should have done what the Grizzlies did with Smart?

@ThePDXKid @BlazetheNugs I didn’t fucking say not being able to move these guys for value is a positive. Are you guys high?

@BlazetheNugs Who isn’t acknowledging that he’s made some bad ones? Didn’t I just call them bad deals?

@BlazetheNugs Would you have wanted them to dig themselves a bigger hole?

RT @trailblazers: Tune in at 4:45 p.m. to hear from General Manager Joe Cronin following today's NBA Trade Deadline. 🎥:

Luka Doncic and LeBron James are on the same basketball team.

@scottptb30 I don’t think you can realistically say that considering Portland got Camara and the Suns just had to use a first round pick to get off Nurk.

Exactly. Agree or disagree, they have their reasons.

@wtkd1 Yeah, well, all of us are always looking for more money. Doesn't mean we are gonna get it. And having your replacement breathing down your neck is going to be a reality anywhere you go. It's the NBA, that's how it goes.

@wtkd1 Do you think they should have given up draft picks to move either guy? Because given the trades that went down today involving guys at that price range, that's what it would have had to cost. Is giving up future picks you need to build your team helping the rebuild?
