Notice 2023 Blazers Free Agency

Dame must speak up and proclaim he does not want to be traded

 

If that's the truth. He's not going to say that just to get the ball rolling. The guy takes his integrity seriously.

Also he's already said that he doesn't want to be traded he just added that we have to get better as a team because winning is now a huge priority to him.

 

Cronin already knows what Dame is going to do, what moves need to be done to keep him here, and what would cause him to ask for a trade.

 

He's back

 

Ah man, post deleted. That account is hella funny though

 

And..... he's gone again.

 

I think some of the fans are already calling Dame’s bluff for him.

 

What did it say?

 

Nothing really. Just something about him being connected.

 

If Harden leaves I could see Philadelphia entering the conversation.

 

I think you are right about that. I also think if Dame set up some scenarios that would keep him here and Joe didn't think he could get any of those done he would tell Dame he would try, tell the world he isn't trading Dame and try to gain back a little leverage for negotiations either in making moves prior to what he might see as an inevitable trade of Dame or just in that Dame trade situation. Hopefully that's what he would do... I don't know how shrewd Joe is.

Actually the best situation would be if Joe told Dame he was doing his best and if that isn't good enough he would trade Dame and Dame said he wanted to stay and would stop hinting at anything otherwise.

 

This guy, who seems kind of neurotic, says they should go after a wing in FA, a 3-4. He points out that the FA class is really bad. His first target and only one he seems enthusiastic about for the MLE is Jalen Mc Daniels, who he thinks Sixers will not be able to afford if they sign Harden. He likes his defensive versatility and rebounding.

 

I think harden is traded tonight

 

They better find a third team that values the hell out of Maxey and Tobias because they don't have a lot of valuable pieces and can only trade either their 2029 FRP or their 2030 FRP... the rest can't be touched because they traded them all away and Stepien. I don't think they have enough.

If Dame asks out it's good that Joe will have a bunch of other teams interested in Dame but realistically he has to be willing to tell a team like Brooklyn that they better be ready to give up fair value for him because he will take less value from another team that can be more competitive with Dame if the Nets are going to try and jerk him around.

 

He really only likes McDaniels; just filling up air space with the rest.

 

I'm very interested how quickly Grant signs in FA. I can't imagine he would want to come back without Dame.

 

Solid move by Sacto

 

I never said Dame would regret going somewhere else and gettting a ring that you brought up the Durant comparison to. I said that I believe Dame would much prefer a chance to win a ring in PDX over Miami even if the Miami chance was higher.
