    If Dame does get traded, you can start the timer on Sharpe and Scoot's tenure in Portland. It's will only be a matter of time , if they are great, before they want out too.

    Cronin isn’t gonna take offers, Dame gave him 2-3 teams max and I’m assuming those 3 have already made offers during the past week. No way we are gonna take the PR hit of sending him somewhere he doesn’t wanna go for the best package. We are gonna treat him like he has a no trade clause.

    Luckily we can always offer them the most money.

    But what about a meeting that's not short and not long? It could be good..... or bad.

    Understandable that you're in a pessimistic place but we've been able to hold onto a lot of different guys for quite a while over the years. Most players don't start their careers and finish them on the same team but we held onto Sheed for a long time, we held onto Dame, we held onto Clyde, we held onto LaMarcus for nine seasons. I think we can expect both guys to be here through at least their first extensions if they are great and get the super max, if they are great and winning together I would expect us to keep them through their primes.

    From the McCollum trade, as of now, we have 29-year-old Jerami Grant (assuming he resigns) and 23-year-old Kris Murray. Two 6' 8" power forwards, which was a position of need.

    Lillard is staying. That’s what he and his agent told Cronin.

    I give up and sleep. I prefer to think I will be mad when waking up.

    That's believing that, one they will be great, and two, they will stay and not look for the bright lights of the big city.
