I can easily forgive Dame for asking for a trade to Miami but I will never forgive Cronin if he grants it over better offers
Like for real, dame was fucking transparent about it all. And he got fed up. I would have been fed up too! Like damn.
Hope Cronin don’t make the same mistake as Olshey. Need to build around Scoot now and don’t wait until he’s 30 years old
but unless Cronin and the front office were in a mutual coma, why the fuck would they give Grant that kind of contract if they knew there was a chance that Dame might ask out? 5 years...what the fuck?
I kinda find it a relief. We can start to move on, speed up the rebuild, etc. But requesting a trade and granting it are two different things. If I’m Cronin, I wait for a fair deal. You have this motherfucker signed to a massive contract - do not cave (Cronin is a ball-less bastard, so he inevitably will).
Joe is gonna trade Dame exactly where he wants to go(Miami) then when he doesn’t get fair value he’s gonna say he was hamstringed by being loyal to the greatest Blazer ever. He will use Dame as the excuse for being a shitty negotiator.
Thank goodness we didn't trade Scoot for a veteran since Dame still might have asked out, and then we'd have Grant on a bad contract and no Scoot.
because having that slot is necessary, and two way forwards don’t grow on trees. In a year they will ship him off. The contract may not get us back a lot, but it will give us something, and we need to hit the salary floor anyways
Yes. In 5 years when the space squid’s attack Miami, Boston, Los Angeles, and the Bay Area we will have our best shot since ‘77 at winning a championship.
same thing I said yesterday. do you let him walk for nothing? Look at some of the contracts that have been moved around. He’s an asset. You don’t let assets walk away for free.
Woj just listed the Clippers, Heat and Spurs as his preferred destinations. If I’m Portland, I’m looking at the Spurs. I believe they have a ton of 1st picks available.
