    Took awhile for me to come around, but I'm sold. Holy hell, legit the second coming of Dame.

    That sidestep 3 at the end was right out of Dame's book.

    He's almost matched Trae and Ja and he hasn't even figured out how to draw fouls yet. Kid good.

    Maybe we can pay him a consulting fee come draft night.

    If he was so damn smart the least he could do is sign him to a reasonable extension before he got fired. Now we're gonna pay him the max (he deserves it).

    Dame must feel like Dr. Frankenstein. He has created a monster.
    IF...those two can enhance each others games??
    With Josh Hart in the rotation?
    Scary monster.

    It's time for Dame to ride off into the sunset. This should be Ant's team.

    Best combination of shooting, handle, and playmaking since Curry.

    I'll happily eat crow. Dude is legit and as recently as the start of this season I really wasn't sure we should keep him.

    You can't trade Dame before seeing how he gels with this iteration of our team. That would just be incredibly stupid and just be one big "what if" in an organization that has had far too many of those.

    Waiting for all the doubters to acknowledge. But you know they'll never cop to it.

    I’m surprised so many didn’t think he’d pan out. I felt like he always showed potential. He was at least on par with Trent Jr most nights. Very young too, so it would make sense he might take some time.

    Stotts was a horrible coach for him. He’s night and day under Billups.

    I had high hopes for Ant and was glad we kept him back when we traded Trent. I said on BE we kept the right one. I knew it after that season ending game that changed our playoff position. Then I had doubts again after awhile. I remember mid-January I saw it and knew it was real. When I started thinking we shouldn’t even trade him for Simmons I was like wow this kid is the real deal if my offseason fantasy isn't enough to pry him away.
