    so we can have the worst player among ant/cj/powell as our guy going forward?

    Sounds like a terrible plan.

    What are we going to win? 8th seed? 7th seed? 1st round exit after PHX hands it to us….?

    Simons is a future piece. Trent was also! Instead we have two non-future pieces to move; CJ and Norm

    Its my opinion that Joe will run scenarios past Dame and he will have his input, same with Chauncey, then Jody & Bert. I say this because Dame made it clear he wants to win now, and he aint playing for no draft pick.
    I kind of think CJ will find a new team and they keep Powell and Ant. But I also think the unexpected to happen too?

    We won't win anything with CJ and Dame together. So if Dame wants to win now, he would want to ship CJ out.

    What did they win? I don't see a championship banner hanging up when they played for the team.

    You think Dame wants to win a playoff series and be good with it? If you do, you seriously don't understand the Psyche of Dame.

    You're barking up the wrong tree. That dude has an extremely low bar for gauging success.

    He says he wants to win a title here in Portland. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that is his 'bar'.

    The waiting is excruciating. I'm having fun watching the young guys play but I want something to happen. I know a bunch will be off-season but it would be cool to have an indication before the trade deadline that let's fans see the basic direction. If they stay with CJ and Nurk etc along the margins I think I'll find another hobby.

    Winning 50 games is great and all, but Dame wants a title bro. The Warriors split up their two guards because they did not fit. We have not and have expected different results for some reason. It has been far too long. CJ needs to bounce. You can love him on another team.

    lol....but he also said the team may or may not achieve and it wouldn't rob him of his accomplishments. We all want a championship for Dame and the City and I look at the next couple years as a continued effort to make it possibly happen. I think Dame is good with being on board with new GM & Coach and helping them with that task.

    Its like other professions where someone will turn down a promotion and a chance to move some where else. Its not always bout titles or money with all superb performers, sometimes it's about where you want to live and what you got going on currently.
    When I take my boat in front of Dames house on the Willamette and on occasion there are adults and kids playing on their property I get the feeling Dame like's roots? What I want to see is what kind of impact Chauncey might have on convincing players and agents that PTown would be a good option.
