    better shooter, but 3 years older.

    but hard to determine how much of that improved shooting is due to the system/team in boston.

    Well post is gone now saying Dame should be brought back only if behind Scoot.

    I believe Richmond said that Dame wanted to come back to Portland but as the starter and franchise player. That's how he views himself. He would not be a backup, or defer to Scoot or defer to anyone on the team.

    14 players now officially listed as traded. Still no Jrue or Ant.

    No Porzingis either, so perhaps the hold up is on Bostons end.

    Maybe there's a podcast out there that will surprise us with knowledge that THIS is the move that's looping in a grant trade, lol

    I’m expecting the classic disappointment result.

    Yeah, it seems like one side of not both must be trying for something or it would be done by now. Buy, it will probably just end as is.

    Maybe Jrue doesn’t wanna come here at the end of his career and we really are trying for Brown.

    Scoot
    Brown
    Deni
    Camara
    Clingan/Yang

    Works for me.

    Hope Jrue doesn't ask for a buyout

    Nobody getting a 3 year buyout unless they give up everything basically.

    Geez, go take a nap and don't look at the internet for a while. The intrusive thoughts are winning.

    Ok.

    If it was going to happen today, it likely would have.

    When does it have to be finalized by?

    more than 2 teams involved might slow down the process?

    I have no idea durinig the off season how long it could take. During the season there are rules about roster size but even then I don't know if there would be a set date that a trade has to be finalized by after being reported. This could technically go on all summer.

    The frustrating thing to me is that we don't have some reporting on what's going on... either by people covering our team or the fucking Celtics.
