    Him or Scoot will be traded at the deadline or something even bigger will go down.

    I kind of thought he would only be here until the deadline but now I have no idea but again something big.

    Why on earth would we trade Scoot?

    I think hes mid and not worth a lot in trade as is, but why would we have two over the hill PGs and then trade the 20 or 21 year old dude? Thats just bad business lol.

    I just did the Dougie for about fifteen minutes. All is right in the world right now. I HATED SEEING DAME IN ANOTHER Uniform.

    And before the haters say "You're just nostalgic". No, it's not that. Dame can help us, he has helped us. Hell, it's because of Dame we have this team. This may have been his plan the entire time. Cant' wait to hear he and Cronin talk

    Dame loves Portland

    No Trade Clause

    Player option is so he can opt out, resign with us for minimum, to help team add talent to compete

    This contract is absolutely amazing

    Man Scoot, now you have Jrue and Dame as your mentor. It's time to take that leap and learn everyday.

    I mean as long as he's some measure of himself, getting him at 14M a year is pretty great.

    Yep his plan was to force a trade. Say his only place is to Miami. Then joe said "ha, fool. Youre going to milwaukee" then he got just the right people to be traded from Milwaukee, then trade jrue to someone else, get nurk (one of his best friends) off the team to get toumani because thats exactly how that'd all work.

    Just to come back here.

    Yeah. No questioning that at all.

    He had minimum offers to contenders. He did this to stay home and I can't blame him and I love having him back, even if it makes little financial sense to us lol

    FU to Miami, Lakers, Boston and all of the pundits that said they were the leaders. We knew where Dame Dolla heart was. I'm so damn pumped. Top ten sporting day of all time for me.

    As constructed this wont pay hopeful dividends for about 4 to 5 years, but at least they got rid of ayton and simons.

    Its a better offseason than most, but still years away from getting fans who will wait out the bullshit they feed us.

    But this is a start. We shall see if/how they fuck this up.

    Glad to have dame back though.
