Sell the team Jody.

Painful to watch. Thatβs a tough press conference. Well executed thoughβ¦ Good luck Joe.
Way to NOT DRAFT LEONARD MILLER at 23. The man has actual PF size, can play C if needed, and was SCOOTS TEAMMATE!!! 16/11/2/2/1 in his debut 2-4 from 3 at 6'10"!! HOW THE F DID THEY NOT DRAFT LEONARD MILLER? So sick of this front office's choices. Roster is so imbalanced. STILL! Miller would finally be that legit PF and Grant can be his natural SF role.
The FO literally asked Dame to sit out the last dozen games of the year and tank for a better draft pick that could be used as an asset to use to get DAME HELP and CONTEND. Everything the FO has said has been "DAME we are commited to winning with you". Instead, they squandered all the assets they had the last 18+ months. CJ, Norm, RoCo, Nance, Hart… all for what? Grant, Cam, and the eventual 23rd pick they used on Murray? HOW IS THAT DOING RIGHT BY DAME and getting him the players needed to conted? They have said one thing and done another for Cronins entire tenure. They barely tried to get top talent in a trade for the 3rd pick and ended up drafting his potential replacement. He has done so much for this franchise and all the FO has done is give up on him once teams cold shouldered their trade offers for top free agent around the NBA draft and after…bc of their prior inaction.

Appreciate that last question
Donβt trade him
Sign Woods, Trade ant and see what you can make happen.
βWe will not discuss trade stuffβ proceeds to only discuss trade stuff lol
What fair return did this fool get for the CJ trade? lol gtfoh
If you wanted him to retire a blazer you wouldnβt have drafted his replacement
So frustrating to watch. This interview should of happened earlier, and should be longer… Also, more in depth. You failed Damian Lillard, and you failed this fan base. SELL THE TEAM JODY. and Cronin, you aren't cut out for this. Dame had players that wanted to be here, you held pat… Playing softball for Jody. You took no action. Any other "small market" team would have made many more moves that "made sense". Especially during this free agency… You resigned players that wanted to play with DAME! And Thybull doesn't even want to be in Portland! He desperately wanted to go to Dallas! Unfortunately, we matched him… Which also doesn't make sense. REBUILD. YOU MESSED THIS UP. Last question was the best one you got. Cheers.
π Thank U Cronin for showing U actually have a pair. Don't just give in to getting the least in a return for a top 75 player like Dame, ESPN and the media wants. I believe in U
Cronin. π«‘

Unfortunately, Portland will always be a small market team that no free agents want to come to. I can't recall the last time the Blazers have signed a big free agent. The only way for small market teams to get better is through trades and the draft. I think Cronin is doing all he can with the mess he inherited from the Neil Olshey era. With the lack of future assets (draft picks) and Neil giving large contracts for role players, the best path forward for Portland is probably to develop young talent.
Joe you said you haven't talked to dame since he requested a trade and you want him to stay Fire Joe Cronin please
Joe Cronin is a person who tells you what you want to hear, but sides on the side of untruth rather than reality.
That combined with Jodie Allen, who only keeps the team because she gets $150+ million for being the owner, who wouldn't receive a dime if the team is sold….of course she's gonna continue to stack cash without going into the luxury for Dame. Sell the team, get rid of everyone in the front office.
After watching this I feel bad for Dame and Joe.
What a disgrace. Absolute waste of a job.
Edit: im all in for building around scoot and sharpe. Everybody else needs to go. Focus on getting a star center and quit lying to the public!
Cronin > Dame
Lets go Scoot!!
and the acting award goes to joe cronin, masterclass in deceiving. who in their right mind thinks resigning grant and tybulle is an legit contender around dame? oh well the guy has zero GM experience prior to being put in that seat so what to expect.
Sell to Knight. Please. With this new talent, we need new ownership and especially one that is pro-Portland.
from the start you did not want to trade 7 and 3, you just lied π€₯
βpatience is criticalβ π€£
The bigger the lie, the more people will believe it.
– propaganda 101
Thank you for posting. Can we please mic the press? I canβt hear any of the questions.
Why can't reporters get a mic?!?!? Can't hera anything
Iβmπ’
This guy has no idea what he is doing.. Good Gm would take a couple 1st from the heat and k.lowry and free up money and get a good FA next year.
He said we got a fair return for cj and josh hart πππππ₯
You're the worst GM in the league
This is such a scummy organization
