Fentress and Birnbach are morons. Complete morons. I can't believe they actually get paid for their opinions on the team. https://open.spotify.com/episode/1qtzm2TDGv0HyzCgh8DSxB?si=15c5caf5aa334053
I'm trying to be excited that seemingly every playoff team in he league is in a bidding war for Holiday, we have an amazing young back court, we just got Ayton who is a Nurk level C who is 5 years younger and most think has been playing below his potential at that Nurk level, we have a ton of raw prospects on the roster, we have Jerami who could be our go to scorer and command a nice return at the deadline but it's hard to be excited about it today because Dame was and probably still is my favorite athlete of all time and I never wanted to see him suit up for anybody else and until a few months ago I thought that was realistic. So... FUCK!!! I'll get over it and soon I'll be fully excited about this team, maybe once the Holiday situation is resolved. Fingers crossed.
Only a few Dame jerseys left at Dicks for $78 https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/...rchType=Keyword&pageSize=48&selectedStore=670 I just picked one up.
Im with ya. Dont get me wrong. Im excited about the new kids for sure. Its just, not sure im ever gonna think Dame looks good in another jersey. Lol. But you are correct. Im just waiting for Holiday to be moved and im pretty sire that will be the team for next year. Ill create an official prediction thread for the season once he is moved, so everyone can predict with an a curate viewpoint of the roster
https://bleacherreport.com/articles...een-damian-lillard-and-portland-trail-blazers I know Haynes is Dame's mouthpiece, but if there's any truth to this report there is definitely a part of me that is bitter. Cronin didn't have enough respect for Dame to even talk to him? Screw Goodwin, but Dame?
Oh god fuck off Haynes. Hit piece and he waited until after the trade happened? This couldn’t come out a week ago? Had to shit on Joe and the team on the way out?
If you don't think there's bad blood between Cronin and Dame what have you been watching? What incentive does Haynes have to lie about any of this? Cronin/Blazers were mad about the single team request. Dame mad they wouldn't accomodate. The animosity is understandable on both sides but the disrespect to Dame is not.
I think it’s immensely bush league to toss this bomb on his way out of town as he heads to a team with Giannis.
Agreed. But why was Joe so pissed? We are getting one side of the story and I don't think it is in the Blazer's best interest to respond to anything Haynes says. or writes. His credibility is long gone. So we may not know for years.....the rest of the story.
He's pissed because he (or whoever is making decisions in the FO) thinks Dame and his agent tanked his value with the public one team trade demand.
Lillard's agent is the one who fucked him over, if anyone did. Edit: "Don't worry Dame. They'll understand and take you back with open arms. I'm sure you'll end up in Miami anyway. I'll get it done."
