    I thought this was interesting. I wonder if Dame is feeling the same thing.

    And now look at Toronto. All they needed was an awesome GM like Ujiri.

    Bosh chose to leave Toronto for one reason and one reason only. LeBron James was going to Miami.

    Maybe Dame is smarter than Bosh and has understood it all along?

    Can't "I realized we were never going to build a winning team in Toronto" be the reason he left Toronto, and "Lebron James was going to Miami" be the reason he chose Miami over any other potential destination?

    Exactly. Drafting & Trades are how Portland will have to become a contender.

    +1. He's not too attached to his players and is willing to shake things up. To make a trade, it always takes at least 2 teams to agree.... however, I really wonder where we would be if we had a GM that didn't always keep his good (not great) players off-limits in trade talks.
