So you think he's right to not defend himself, not mitigate the damage being done to his brand, and in turn call us stupid for not seeing the obvious based on common sense? He's not defendable. And this is coming from a guy who defended him fiercely. Fuck him for putting us in a corner.

Oh, no! You mean the superhighway of top-tier free agents willing to sign for a discount that has been the core of our team for the past 30 years may no longer be bumper-to-bumper? If there is one organization where this threat is an empty one, it's Portland.
Being lied to about your fake GM position is not a good reason. Telling him he won't get his guaranteed money is a good reason.
I'm cool waiting until January. We simply tell Dame, "If you want to be traded, prove your worth on the court to another team. Until we get value for you, you're a Blazer."
never thought Dame would fuck us this hard. Yeah i get it that he's mad at Ownership and Front office, but think about the Fans you idiot
But, if it works, the rest of the league will see it as a power move. It will set a precedent. Agents of other stars will pull the same shit, have their client demand a trade, give the preferred destination, then call other teams interested, and tell them not to trade for him because he won't play. Where does it end?
WWMD What would Morey do? No way Morey would give into demands right away. In fact, he'd probably go on vacation and say we'll revisit it later.
