    So, continuing their usual style of “reportage”.

    Perhaps Dame and his agent presented an idea or two for possible trade packages, three-team proposals, etc.

    Showing his loyalty all the way - including best trade options to help himself AND the organization!

    This is the most pessimistic I've been about one of these rumors. It feels different this time. Spending our draft assets on a young prospect at Dame's own position feels pretty much like the nail.
    I hope I'm wrong.

    Off subject, but this is what is wrong with the media. Is he really media? Has he been to J school? How to cover the team going forward? Seriously? Every day is a new day, hopefully unlike the previous. You report on an event, a happening or what is about to happen. You do not need direction. The story writes itself. You report it. Who, what, when, where, why and how. Damn, poor guy.

    There are so few actual journalists anymore. They are all mostly about click bait, or politically slanted.

    Well, a short meeting could be good... or bad :lol:

    Long meeting is probably a good thing. Unless they're running through potential trade partners.

    Got flooded with offers, but was like a statue on defense. Epic floaters, though.

    Not sure you really needed green font there. Cronin seems to have done a good job of proving adept at drafting, with a lot of help from Schmitz I am sure. As to trade construction and execution, seems to be lacking.

    It's just common sense. Dame wouldn't bring his agent if that wasn't his intention. I'm not saying that there is nothing that Joe could say or do to change Dame's mind. If Joe had a trade or two set up and a free agent who is a client of Goodwin's then Dame might not ask out. I don't think Joe has anything like that.

    The fact that we haven't seen any reporting makes me wonder if they're just going to get the trade done right now, during the meeting and the next thing we'll see about this is the reported trade. Sorry I'm just expecting the worst and hoping that if the worst is what's happening that we just get it over with.

    Man Scoot and Sharpe better ball out, this is gonna suck at first seeing him somewhere else. Wish we had a better coach than Billups.

    It's likely not wrong.

    Or since his agent is there, they're trying to get the trade done as we wait for some news.

    It needs to be a 3way, if we don’t get a young big back with picks for a second team all nba player I’m gonna be disappointed.

    I would say that the fact his agent is there with him, isn't a great sign for staying.

    I don't think it could be done THAT fast.... no?

    It could take a while to solicit offers... unless they already have been, but I think that would have leaked.
