    Oh I understand that. Unless of course it's the NFL saying don't kneel right?

    Maybe 60, but we're going to get a lot of really good picks in the meantime.

    I'm done, but you guys need to be evenhanded about Politics. BAN IT ALL to OT. I've begged for that for years.

    Of course Dame would like Miami for financial reasons. Over the next 4 years he's due 216M and Florida has no state income tax, and that's just his salary, not endorsement deals. NY's top income tax rate is 10.9% which is actually higher than Oregon's

    The Heat have absolutely nothing to offer. Do what's best for the Franchise Joe. Dame will not be on the team anymore

    BTW, is that last line allowed on this board? That seems like the type of thing that would get you in a lot of trouble in person or in any kind of public setting. Your use of it, though, tells me a lot more about you.

    Chris Haynes was the 1st to break the story this morning and said his preferred destinations were Miami AND Brooklyn. Assuming Dame or his agent tipped him off, Miami is going to have to beat Brooklyn's (better) offer.

    As always, my biggest concern is I once again have to buy new Jerseys to wear to games. They should offer a discount if we trade in our Dame jerseys for Scoot.

    Dame wants to be at that top tier with LeBron and Jordan and be an owner. He's got to save that money any way he can. It's a numbers game. This is why he went for 71 last season right before they shut him down: he needed that on his CV to get the best deal.

    I bought one jersey ever and it was one I regret the most. Such a waste of money lol. At least to me, it made me realize buying team stuff is dumb lol

    You’re not gonna let me give my platform for a seat on my HOA board????? But I was running on hiring a bunch of hot women to mow all the lawns (instead of the company they’re using now)

    Well, it's your opinion. We disagree.

    Sad day in Blazer history. The end of an era.

    upload_2023-7-1_11-9-13.png

    Dame led the team in PER for 7 years. Bested only by Drexler who did it 10 times.

    I've been a huge Dame fan since his rookie year. He represented the franchise with class. But once he leaves, I'm a Blazer fan first. I have no interest in him winning wherever he goes.

    Being a long-time season ticket holder, I'm not a fan of tanking or a full tear-down. The Blazers have a solid base of rookies. Add some additional young talent around Sharpe and Henderson and look to win now with a young core.

    Here's to success in the post-Dame era!

    Really? Banning books isn't doing that? Strange pretzel logic you follow there. Anyway, that's my last political post.
