    Sometimes I miss stuff like this, and sometime's I'm like "wow..."

    I'm a "laundry" fan. That said, 17 y/o me hated that I had to know who Marcelo Nicola was, and I'd hate it if I had to think about rooting for Tyler Herro because we dumped the greatest Blazer I've rooted for.
    Dame's almost 3 years younger than Steph, and he's younger than Steph was when they selected Wiseman. He's the same age as when they selected Moody and Kuminga. And he's the same age Steph was when a historically-great-shooting short PG won a title with a hobbled Klay and Draymond--partially because Poole and Wiggins balled out of their minds (and high-tail projections).

    You've all probably rehashed this 1,000 times, but I got the feeling that the extra 2/120M extension got tacked on to both show Dame POR was serious about keeping him and as loyalty (if you think like me) or hush (if you think he's calculating a way out) bonuses for time served. Nobody had to do that.

    Even if Dame becomes the most overpaid version of Heat Ray Allen ever, he can easily, even if he regresses a bunch, roll into a role as designated sharpshooter once the young'uns take over in 3-4 years. I haven't looked at your mock trade board yet, but a defensive-minded big is really one of the few missing pieces, and Ant has some value (not as much as a 23y/o 3pt assassin should have, but some) to do some roster rebalancing. Or as I said elsewhere, if it takes Sharpe to get a young big like Mobley, I'm also down for those types of challenge trades.

    Pleasant dreams. I actually had a dream where Dame was leading the Blazers . They were in throwback to 89-90 uni's. Then the phone rang. True story.

    Dame Limited the front office by not wanting to let go of his best friend CJ.

    Terry Stotts listed 179 players he coached as Blazers head coach.

    That is all you have been pushing since you showed up here. Curious if you go back to your heat fan board if Dame doesn't go to Miami?

    Miami has the worst home crowd and broadcast crew in the league in my view....Miami is not a basketball city at all. Great place to start a soccer team. Dame is used to having one of the best home crowds in the league...not an echo chamber during games.

    Dame didn't want to let go of anyone, yet lots of people came and went. Within weeks of Olshey's departure, CJ was gone, despite Dame staying.
