    Yeah, it's not viable anymore unfortunately.

    I'm hoping to do some monthly watch parties next year for Blazer games, and I'll let the forum know if/when those happen because it'd great to catch up with a lot of you. I'm search for a brewery/restaurant sponsor for next year where we can host a space for free as part of the deal.

    This.

    People should rewatch the pressers after the draft. Cronin makes multiple allusions to the financial constraints he's working under. It wouldn't surprise me if Allen and Kolde actually want Dame's contract off the books.

    Whatever Nate. Ive told you before i like most of your posts, but if you cant even take a moment to look at the other perspective?
    Well it might explain why you have so much time to just dominate this place…

    Not done yet. There were some decently serious discussions around 3 and Sharpe

    7-10 days, according to Woj that's what Cronin has to make Dame feel like this team is heading in a more competitive direction. I think that means one big trade or a couple of smaller trades for players that are really a good fit and signing someone who can make an impact at least off of the bench with either the TPMLE or MLE. I think the Jerami Grant situation handles itself as soon as Dame tells him Dame's all in at least for this upcoming season Jerami will sign and probably won't sign until then. I'd be shocked if we haven't made any trades before Jerami re-signs.

    I won’t be surprised to see trades, but I have little faith in us being able to make anything marginal/incremental moves, rather than a big move that elevates this team.

    Not to be a pessimist, but we just haven’t been able to accomplish all that much via trade.

    I'm a bit confused. Woj is saying it's hard to make deals with Dame's status up in the air. If there is a 7-10 day window, isn't Dame's status still up in the air during this window? Implication is that if he doesn't like the additions he still might be gone? So there's still a risk for FAs to commit.
