Meeting between Dame and Cronin today

Scoot reminds me more of Russell Westbrook. Which I think is kinda funny because most of the Blazers fan base have hated on Westbrook his entire career.

 

That's absolutely true. They could definitely live up to the hype. I hope for everybody's sake they do.

But I also think the odds of either of them surpassing Dame are slim. And Dame is already here and doing amazing stuff.

Folks are very confidently speaking about how great Scoot will be, and that it's just a matter of time. That's just not an opinion I share. I think we've seen better prospects bust even in our own organization. Nothing is 100%. The entertainment Dame is likely to provide me is as close to 100% as it comes in Blazers land.

 

Thanks for saving me from having to slog through the whole thread.

 

I just want a resolution one way or another. This franchise can't move on until we get that.

If the resolution is: let's wait until the trade deadline 0r let's just wait one more year, I think I'm gonna lose it lol.

 

Not because of what he could do on a basketball court in his prime, but because he could be such a tool.

 

If there is news, it won't be in this thread.

 

How great would it be if a trade got announced that brought in an all star and a role player... Dame is at the press conference talking about retiring a Blazer. I'm expecting a Dame trade and I'm bummed but it would be a great feeling going from this to what I would feel like if Dame came out and said he's here to stay.

 

Try Derrick Rose with intact menisci and Dame's tenacity.

 

I’m still holding out hope. I would think the discussion would include trade options that Cronin has on his radar, while looking for confirmation from Dame that those moves would be sufficient for him to stick with the team.

 

??? Where is Chris saying this? On a pod? Space?

 

Is Dame texting this dude in the middle of the meeting!?!?!

 

Tried to go back and search Nate Jones twitter.... but the advanced search option is garbage. I put in the time frame and it's still giving me tweets from 3 hours ago.

 

Ha I was thinking the same thing. That guy is something else

 

Yeah I didn't even think of that.... who is this twitter account?

 

Of course. Billy was a dynamic player. But he didn't last. But he was a dunker and a shooter, and a good facilitator.

 

facepalm

 

My dislike for WB is mainly because of his BBIQ (or lack thereof).

 

I watched the video… the tweet is a lie, comments are before the meeting

 

"we're not trying to get younger" (we got younger)

"we're still trying to talent seek" (how?)

"we are still trying to contend" (sure?)

It all sounds like a lot of the smoke Olshey was blowing for years. I think Joe has tried more than Neil but at the end of the day they've gotten the same amount done.
