That’s giving the Mariners way too much credit. The Blazers have done a great job of building teams close to the highest level multiple times. You had the Drexler era make a Finals, the Rasheed Wallace era choked away a sure championship in a game 7 vs Kobe and Shaq and then the recent era which if they had gotten a little lucky would have been Roy and Oden. This current era Dame just isn’t quite good enough.
Portland is a respectable franchise that just hasn’t gotten lucky enough to get a top 20 all time player, which you need to win a title in the NBA 99% of the time. The Mariners are an abomination and should be contracted. -

You mean except for that time when they drafted Oden over Durant, right? And that other time when they drafted Bowie over Jordan? Those times?allpurpleallgold said:That’s giving the Mariners way too much credit. The Blazers have done a great job of building teams close to the highest level multiple times.

In today’s NBA, you need at least 3 All Stars and a bench that goes at least 3 deep with quality to win a title. Given this, Portland will never see a Conference Final,
Let alone NBA Final. No Quality Free Agents want to come to Portland. It would be the exact same thing in Seattle. The weather and culture suck and it’s too white. -
The Mariners have the Griffey years and 116. Those two franchises are closer than you want to admit.allpurpleallgold said:That’s giving the Mariners way too much credit.

What we don't know is what if Durant and Westbrook and Harden had played in Seattle with a non retarded GM who kept them together
You can win titles in Portland or Seattle. It's hard anywhere. And its harder now when you have to draft 18 year olds instead of 22 year olds -
Drafting is mostly luck in all sports. This falls under the “hasn’t gotten lucky” part of my post.BleachedAnusDawg said:

They picked two injury prone centers over locks. BlazersFS did not need luck. They let two of the top players in history slip right through their fingers.allpurpleallgold said:
