    The fuck do they expect if they trade dame?! MORE ticket sales? How stupid would they be to do that out of the blue? If Dame doesn't request a trade you don't do that unless it's absolutely needed. And that sure as hell ain't now.

    I like Quick but I noticed he was more and more pro Olshey lately. Turns out Neil would spend more time talking to him. He mentioned there were times Neil would spend hours with him on the phone. Would not be surprised whatsoever if Olshey fed him some of that bullshit. I know his sources aren’t great to begin with.

    If you think we’re losing Dame you either aren’t paying attention or refuse to because it doesn’t fit whatever “world is ending” narrative you’ve come up with.

    I wouldn’t play them together for many minutes
    I’d play CJ with Norm or Nas as a backcourt partner

    I’m just not convinced we will get anything worthwhile in return for CJ. Could be wrong.

    usually I would have attended a few games by now but I won’t be going until the pandemic is over

    Any potential GM who would rather be here without Dame can just get out. Like immediately. Interview over, thank you for your interest, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out.

    We don't need that kind of dumbassery anywhere near this team.

    I'm in the same boat. When covid-19 is killing no more people per year than the flu I'll be happy to go to a game.

    It's cool that you'll be going to games but every strain of the flu put together kills around 60,000 people a year in the US. Covid has already killed over 360,000 people this year and there's still a month to go. It's killing a lot more people than the flu... a whole helluva lot. That being said, I think if you're vaccinated and take the precautions that the team has put in place for game attendance, the games seem as safe if not safer than grocery shopping and we all have to do some of that.

    Yes. That's all correct.
    But I don't have to attend basketball games like I have to go shopping. So it's an unnecessary risk.

    And I'm certainly not going to reward their decisions to offer limited streaming options by going to games.

    Honestly I may not attend games if there aren't better streaming options even after the pandemic is over.

    Eff 'em.

    been listening to these guys since the summer and I think they’ve got a good pulse on the team. They have been largely negative until the Olshey firing but this one is actually hopeful. Now Dames agent tweeting and liking it is a good sign because its probably reflective of how dame feels about our current situation. Good stuff.

    2000? Was that above and I missed it? That is being VERY generous…… the arena has been SO empty this season. I’m guessing HALF empty tonight.
