If Dame starts that 'hinting' for the 2nd summer in a row, then the franchise needs to seriously look at trading him.
Don't really blame Dame, but he waited FAR to long for this. The pressure he needed to put on was after being routed by the Pelicans. They weren't close and significant changes needed to be made. That is when Dame should have become more public and vocal. By letting Olshey hang around and by lobbying for Stotts to stay, it only made things tougher to recover from and now that he is nearing the final years of his prime, he is getting naturally impatient.
Since he posted him and KD in Blazer uniforms this can only mean he's referencing KD....or the team has explored trading him but this by no means tells me he wants out. Maybe he found out one of his friends is being traded...who knows...otherwise he's earned the right to fuck with the media after last summer. If we're trading him I'm going to be really disappointed.
This is the sort of thing that happens when your team fails to make any kind of power moves year after year after year.
What do you think he might be referring to? A report already came out that he's going to wait and see what kind of moves we make before he signs his extension. So if that's true then his mind is clearly in the territory of leaving.
True....but he also knows what type of reaction/response that is going to get. He's no dummy. He put it out there for a reason. Later, he can come back and say it meant whatever he wants to. But as a public figure, putting that out like that, is going to get a very specific response. He knows that.
He's vested, he knows the plan. Haters gonna hate, and look for every op to say," Seeeeee, we should have traded him" . He could post a bowel movement, and some would say "seeeeee he's got indigestion over the state of things", "Get him out of here". He knows it will take a couple years to add the right ingredients. Plus that does look like the Brooklyn Bridge.
you know what's ironic about that? there are posters here who have been losing their minds about the possibility of Dame getting that extension. Now, they will probably lose their minds if he doesn't get it right away
I will say this, ridiculous money is being throw around out there. For guys not as good as Dame. That extension is looking smaller everyday.
If anyone listened to the podcast with Haynes on B-Edge a couple days ago he said the same thing or something very similar and it's no secret that if this plan does not work out Dame will walk at some point. This really is not news and let's be honest Cronin had to try and clean up NeO's cluster BEEP and maybe he could have done it better BUT if the worst happens and Dame demands a trade out of town then it's NeO's fault not Cronin's plain and simple -- this is a fact not an opinion Also this off season has NOT been a disaster some fans just like to see it as glass is half empty .
In all honesty though the Pelicans series was lost because Lillard shit the bed. Lillard was always content with him and CJ being the main cogs til the very end. He didn’t want to lose his backcourt mate.
Adidas. He is tired of those ugly-ass shoes they produce for him. Seriously I have ZERO idea, which is exactly the same as everyone else.
