    His name is literally Dan Marang but I don’t see it when I do the @ sign. I have a DM from him on here from 2016.

    I've been on somewhat of a rant today and i'll bow out after this.

    All of these local podcasters, the national media, the Fentress dude, they serve themselves for whatever is in it for them. They don't GAF about the Blazers.

    We all loved Dame. We live in a different world since then.

    He wasn't a poster here, he just wanted any clout he could get and argued with EVERYONE. It was very short lived thank god.

    At least @BonesJones is doing it the right way and working his ass off and still has solid posts here. I respect Bones, fuck Marang.

    Dusty Harrah is good but I refuse to listen while Marang is with him. His voice irritates me, his fake laugh is so easily seen through. And he offers nothing. But with his obnoxiousness, he will be a hot take guy somewhere nationally because he doesn't care about being right, he cares about being heard.

    The league keeps this really up to date:

    So, no Clowney hasn't signed yet and neither has Whitehead. I think that is noteworthy.

    Definitely intentional of Riley signing Jaquez as a deterrent to Portland.

    The deterrent to Portland is a crappy return.

    Maybe..... but he couldn't play in summer league without a contract. And they started playing games yesterday.

    Maybe they also wanted to show off how good Jovic and Jaquez are?

    Has every 1st round pick signed a contract that's playing in summer league? Seems like not.

    Maybe. Maybe not. Joe is limiting his options if he's hellbent on pleasing Dame and sending him to Miami.

    I think they probably have. There's the guys who aren't roster guys, and they don't necessarily sign contracts. But the rookies do, I think.

    That's not a deterrent.

    Here is the most recent Mike Richman podcast. PSA - he posts these on Spotify the night before.

    I didn't think so but I could be wrong. A first round pick is a guaranteed contract so I'm not sure why they'd have to sign prior to summer league. I don't think it was always that way if it is that way.

    Why would Cronin want to please Dame now? Isn't Cronin not pleasing Dame the reason Dame wants out?
