yeah I’m gonna stop rooting for the Trail Blazers because of the coach they hired lmao what is this bullshit
I mean clearly Billups is the second choice for him. I think he wanted to gauge the reaction to Kidd for one.
My mom always said that once the milk spoils, you can't unspoil it. Dame going public feels like the first sign of milk spoiling, I am so sad to say.
FUCK these social stances. This is a high-stakes professional business with millions of dollars and championships at stake. This is not a fucking High School drama class. I am beyond sick of hearing about this bullshit being injected into sports. In as far as Kidd goes, I can look past the DV charge under two conditions: 1) it sounds like he has a drinking problem, and 2) it may have been mutual, according to the divorce proceedings. However, as someone who has had 10 run-ins with drunk drivers, including a double-fatality, the one thing I cannot look past is his 2012 DUI arrest. He clearly has a drinking problem, and I don't want this guy anywhere near this team. Too much baggage, and not good enough to make it irrelevant.
Well, this is what happens when you piss away a dude's prime. He's not young anymore. He realistically only has a few years left at a high level. I can understand him wanting to take control of things..... however I'm not sure his judgement is very good and honestly his suggestions have been pretty bad.
I mean if we get bounced in round 1 next year after the coaching change we will probably have to trade him.
My Hot Take: I don't care who Dame wants, I only care about who Dame doesn't want. He should have veto power, not mandate power.
