    Cronin definitely has his work cut out for him.

    Those logo threes are fun to watch.

    I think the Blazers took the best player available at #3.

    I'm relieved but a bit dubious. If Dame asked out I would expect Joe to say this and just pick up the phone and let any GM that he talks to know that if a leak happens Dame won't be going there... but that's paranoia. There is a possibility that Joe and Dame again agreed that Dame would stay if Joe got some major shit done and if he can't that Joe would get Dame to one of a list of preferred destinations.

    I think most likely the next thing we'll hear is news about a trade not involving Dame and that Dame will start the season with us and hopefully we'll be good enough to keep him. I fucking hate the two timelines thing but I hate the idea of losing Dame more.

    THIS IS TERRIBLE!

    Notice how the tweet says Blazer and not Portland...

    Lillard posts video with Miami song...

    Blazers are moving to Miami, if LA and NY can have two teams so can Miami.

    :NOTMARIS: :NOTMARIS: :NOTMARIS: :NOTMARIS:

    Lillard to become Portland Trail Blazers and Miami Trail Blazers greatest players!

    Then that'd be a huge lie when they said that there was no trading dame before the draft. That'd be quick af.

    He's not getting traded this week.

    I guess this is a real possibility and we'll have to deal with a bunch of drama in a few weeks instead of just today.

    Dame is a realistic dude, he doesn't want to leave or he would have been gone way before now.

    Has dame or dames team come out and said anything yet?

    If not, the rest of the talking heads can fuck all the way off and shut the fuck up.

    Please and thank you.

    This really is the perfect statement.

    Blazer fans are reading it in the way they want.

    Other fans are also reading it the way they want.

    If there's one skill Cronin has, it's saying a bunch of words while saying nothing at all.

    Based on the quote, it means Dame didn't straight ask out. Maybe not at all. It could mean they agreed to see how free agency and the trade market plays out.

    Sounds like Cronin shared his vision, got some feedback and Lillard, and the plan is to build around still. If that is the case expect some trades and signings this weekend. Cronin obvious thinks the three rooks aren't ordinary rooks and can contribute now and be part of the rebuild.

    Finna go troll some.

    In all reality, Dame to Miami just isn't going to happen. He is not going to vault them into a contender with what Boston has done. It doesn't help us at all. Dame knows this.

    I'm waiting for him to come out and say that if Cronin doesn't do anything during free agency that could lead to another other conversation.

    It will never be over. Click bait media will continue to beat the drum. Other teams' mouthpieces will continue to stir the pot. Screamin' A will continue to bloviate. Fans will continue to speculate and project their wishes and/or paranoia. It will never be over. That's the sports entertainment world we live in.
