Meeting between Dame and Cronin today

If we rely on ownership to get this right none of us will be very happy.

why are people saying the Blazers lied to Dame? How do you know that? I'm 100% they tried to get win now talent, but maybe the options weren't good or not even available (Mikal Bridges). So what should Cronin have done? Make a bad trade just to make a trade? That would have been stupid and i'm really relieved he didn't do that. Dame can't be that dumb, and i'm sure he's smart enough to understand that. Now it's on him to decide what he wants and where he wants

 

This ain’t the place for news my dude. Check Reddit or Twitter. Reddit is pretty quick staying on top of news.

This place is for arguing and making people feel stupid!

 

If we're trading Ant to Chicago for a 34 year old expiring contract DeRozen we should be getting the draft compensation/rookies not them.

I would be more hopeful if it was just Dame & Cronin. It's the fact Dame's agent will be there. For me that's very scary. Some of you are reveling with this whole thing. Not me. Dame is my favorite player, any team , in my lifetime. For me, my love of the game , and the team , has always started with the player.

 

I am sure Chicago would spin that another way. "If you want our all-star for Simons you need to add a late first-round pick."
Personally, I would give them Kris if they gave us our pick back.

 

I might not be the best GM, but I wouldn't have traded that stupid haul that the Jazz got for Gobert.... so I wouldn't be the worst GM either.

 

Hehehe, I see what you did here.

 

Sure.. whatever you say…

 

Where do you think Sly gets 90% of his content on here? Dude lives on Reddit.

 

This is exactly it for me. I've been a fan of the team since the 80's, but I've never been a fan of any player like I am with Dame.

Maybe it makes me a bad fan, but so much of my interest in this team took a leap when it became "what kind of amazing thing will Dame do tonight?"

I'll always want the Blazers to win, but I won't obsessively watch them like I have the past decade if we let him get away.

This isn't just "welp, let's see what happens with a new team!" for me.

And the level of hype and expectations put on Scoot and Sharpe is counting eggs long before they hatch, imho.

 

I vaguely remember this either this past summer or the yr before when Dame was making rounds about threatening a demand and Henry Abbott posted his nonsense article saying the demand was forthcoming.

Nate Jones refuted it by saying if a demand was truly coming, Dame would not meet with the FO alone and that his representation would be with him alongside.

Welp.

 

...yes, but identified just one person.

Agreed though, that this is becoming more an more of a gotcha, I'm right, everyone else is wrong, monologue versus a welcome exchange of at least somewhat realistic discussion. It's why many have left, or started their own private sites or chats.

 

Hard truth, every year this forum gets nasty around draft time/free agency and then again around trade deadline. I tend to just pop in and try and avoid the drama. 99% of the posters are good people just strongly opinionated
