    Hope this is the case. Don't really know anything about his family honestly. We knew immediately that Nas and Ant had great support systems.

    Dame also unfollowed Ben Simmons in the last few months, lol.

    Nope... not overthinking it. Clearly a deal is on the table to send Sharpe out of here, so Dame is just making that clean break.

    Great to have you posting Travis....I'm a radio listening fan and have to say I think you've done a really good job stepping in for Wheels and I am a huge fan of Wheels....tough act to follow! Thanks for some great play by play game to game...hopefully this season coming up will be rich with new storylines and back stories to tap into. Go Blazers!

    Dammit, you didn't need to do that. I was just giving my opinion on the post. Didn't mean for you to change it. My bad.

    Blazers have never had press conferences on weekends have they? At least none that I recall

    Definitely some annoying drama we don’t need. Was there a deal on the table that Dame thought we should take but we opted to take Sharpe? I hate speculating like this.

    No no no sir. Your good. Not your bad! I went and reread it and agree it was too harsh and muddied up the point I was trying to make. It needed some cleanup in my opinion.

    Maybe Dame asked Sharpe to go to the gym and box and Sharpe said no, so Dame unfriended him. Maybe right now Dame is saying trade him or I’m out of here. But everybody else saw Sharpe as a late first round pick and his value is lower than if we traded the pick so we have to take scraps.

    Maybe there are Algerian pirates off the shores of Oregon waiting to storm the beaches and take over the State.

    Maybe he's just waiting for Shaedon to get his upload_2022-6-25_9-32-36.png or this along with the Grant trade not being made official might mean we're blowing shit up and doing a youth rebuild because we got an offer we couldn't refuse for Dame... or anything in between.

    I'm not worried about his talent or his size, at all.
    My question - and yes it's a question because I have no idea of the answer - how are his intangibles? If he works as hard as Dame, becomes a student of the game, and is a great teammate, he'll be a superstar. Are those things likely? No idea.

    That could be pretty much any draft pick though.

    It is a fair question. And a good reason in my mind why keeping Dame while going young is more important than trading him for
    more young player (s) The coaches can only do so much. The young players need someone to lead them by example.
