Yeah Chauncey was smart to see the writing on the wall by not taking the Cle GM gig, which is why it baffled me he took this one knowing the situation

exactly.. Cleveland Job is good because they play as a team
Portland is 2 vs 5 every night
similar to the wizard’s with wall and Beal until they got rid of wall and u see Beal playing team ball and other players getting involved
Dame cares more about his rap career and getting his points than playing team ball

Lillard intends to give the Trail Blazers organization time to find its next leader of basketball operations. But beyond the front office component, the face of the franchise still wants significant changes to the roster. Multiple sources have told The Athletic that Lillard would like to play with Philadelphia 76ers three-time All-Star Ben Simmons. The Trail Blazers’ league-worst defense would instantly improve, and sharing a backcourt with a non-shooter could work given Lillard’s high-volume usage.
Sources say the Trail Blazers, under Olshey, discussed the framework of a trade for Simmons, moving CJ McCollum, a first-round draft pick and a young player such as Nassir Little or Anfernee Simons to Philadelphia. The 76ers, sources said, at one point asked the Trail Blazers for McCollum and multiple draft picks and multiple draft swaps, which Portland rejected. Olshey maintained significant confidence in the roster he constructed. Now, it’s unclear if there’s a deal to be had with the 76ers. But with Olshey out, who among chair Jody Allen, vice chair Bert Kolde and Cronin would be the one making the call on a Simmons trade or any acquisition designed to alleviate Lillard’s concerns?
The hope within the organization is that Olshey’s exit acts as a kind of reset.

The emergence of Maxey makes taking on another small guard like CJ less appealing. maybe move Seth to the bench and get CJ and another wing for Simmons?

Yep, that team is finally looking right. Just had to replace bytch ass Kevin Love with Evan Mobley @NatiboyB
There was nothing but good media about him when he was looking at GM jobs. He turned down a long term deal to be the Cavs President of Basketball Operations.
When he tried to be coach and compete with Becky for the Blazers job, that's when the Me Too slander started. Then he got the job and had to deal with a dysfunctional Blazers situation with a frustrated Lillard.
Mofos be doing anything to sabotage black coaches but will get inexperienced cacs coaches all the support needed smh
