Ham was on 1320 earlier and he says Fox isn't sitting for the tank or trade deadline. They want him to play, Fox warms up and says he can't go. No MRI's are scheduled or have been done. It's 100% Fox saying he isn't playing because his ankle is sore.RipPizzaGuy wrote:Surprised Fox is sitting again.
I wonder if Monte and Gentry are on the same page with the tank, and just keeping Vivek happy by saying "ya we are looking for the deal"

No problem. I should share Ham almost came off as someone who doesn't believe Fox has a bad ankle. Multiple times he said Fox is telling the team he's not playing.RipPizzaGuy wrote:City of Trees wrote:Ham was on 1320 earlier and he says Fox isn't sitting for the tank or trade deadline.

It's weird because your star player has now missed five games due to injury and the medical staff hasn't even ordered tests to evaluate the severity

Weird. Fox must be as checked out as I am on this team. Couldn't give a damn anymore. 6 games losing streak, currently slated for the 5th pick, and they are talking about trading for Jerami Grant. I've decided that if they want to be insane, I won't go there with them.

The 5D chess way of looking at this for McNair is: leak every call you make to make everyone (including the delusional owner) think you're being active, trade vets, and tell everyone who'll listen after the deadline that you tried to make a move but it compromised long term goals.
Result: no one wants you fired since you were "active", but the team still gets to that rebuild--10+ years too late, but who's counting?

We all see it coming.
Blazers (10th seed) on pace for 34 wins. We'd need 35 to make the 10th seed. 18-40 would mean going 17-7 over the final quarter of the season. That just isn't happening.
