    It would be ironic.... the Raps traded their ROY point guard to the Blazers and now we're returning the favor.

    Mark is pretty much repeating what we have been saying for 3 months about Toronto. It is a good fit and Dame is professional. He would go there...with a slight push from Ujiri and Drake.

    I love how joe has started exclusively messaging through marc spears, whom dame has a relationship with, vs. 'agenda-based shill' woj.

    I am reading it as 'Dame "the soil" Lillard wants to cheat the Portland "the grind" Blazers with the Miami "effin" Heat. They have no reason not to send him anywhere they want.

    FUCK OFF. Why the fuck would we "fancy" another no-defense shooter? This is like Tyler Herro only minus the passing. Gradey Dick: the poor man's Duncan Robinson.

    It looks like Toronto has no intention of offering OG or Barnes, so we should just say fuck you and hang up.

    He is taller and much cheaper than herro and if pans out, it's much easier to move ant and still have a designated shooter on the roster.

    Come on, it is pretty simple why...

    Think this through. If they keep OG and bring on Dame, they're gonna hve this as their payroll next summer:

    Dame - 49 mil
    Siakam - 45 mil
    OG - 35 mil
    Poeltl - 20 mil

    This is not sustainable. I believe OG would be the primary piece out. Whether he lands in Portland is debatable, but he's not gonna remain in Toronto.

    It's not Toronto's FO style to be this loud.

    It is when you're dealing with Goodwin.

    Aren't you sick of having one-way players? So we switch between playing Matisse to playing Dick, and in both cases we have half a player.

    Why? Because they should be trying to maximize their chances to win another championship.

    They have no realistic chance of winning a championship in the next couple of years. So it's about maximizing things 3-7 years from now. That's why.

    Every team is going to have some cheap one way players, the CBA pretty much promises it. Getting Grady Dick allows the Blazers to have a required skill in a 1 way player much cheaper than what they have now.

    You need to have shooters in this league. The Blazers now have Ant as their #1 designated shooter. They pay him a nice chunk of change for that. If they can replace that production with a cheaper option and use that salary for a position of need - it is an upgrade. If Dick does not prove himself to be a NBA level sharp-shooter every team needs, it's a cheap price to pay to find out.

    The Blazers are trying to rebuild around Scoot and Shae if they pan out. No one is bringing Dick as a savior. They want him because if he pans out, he allows them to balance the roster.
