November mailbag questions
With the Trail Blazers heading out on a week-long road trip, this feels like a good opportunity to do our first mailbag since the start of the season.
Since Substack has a comment section, the way we’re going to do this is for you to leave your question as a comment on this thread (paid subscribers only). I’ll keep the thread open until I have enough questions for a mailbag. Might do a two-parter if we get enough good ones.
If you’re not already a paid subscriber, now’s as good a time as any to get on board. A gift subscription is also a great idea as the holiday season approaches.
People probably don’t want to talk about this anymore, but I always wondered if the way Goodwin and GPII handled his injury and subsequent trade had anything to do with the animosity that grew between the FO and Goodwin. Do you have any insight there? Did anyone ever mention this?
Know we’re still a bit of a ways out considering it’s not even December so might be a moot point, but I’m curious if you have any sense roster-wise what could potentially transpire the closer we approach the deadline? We obviously knew this team wasn’t going to win many games and I would assume even less now with all the injuries. With that being said, do you think Cronin and staff will elect to stand mostly pat at the deadline to let things play out as guys get healthy or do you think they’ll be more active in that space to acquire either draft capital / young wing/forward?
