Meeting between Dame and Cronin today

If....Dame does move on, as Blazer fans, we all hope the next iteration somehow is able to eventually take a step up and be more competitive. It's been over 20 years since we have been a legit contender.

 

Cronin has been in contact with Dame's agent every single day. What do you suppose they talked about? They kept Dame updated on every single trade idea and proposal that came their way. Cronin isn't going to meet with Dame and his agent and bullshit them.

 

So not since before Dame… yet people want to mortgage the future to keep trying in his mid 30’s

 

I'm sure he's planted some seeds with Dame's agent who I believe is also Chauncey's agent. Natural place to start doing trades is with a good agent.

 

Drafting a player at his position, and saying he couldn't get a deal done. Makes him really want to stay. I hope he does. He's Awesome. I hope Joe does go get free agents to help. But If he ask out, it's because Joe didn't do him any favors here.

 

But that's just it. I don't think it's a forgone conclusion that he would be gone at the deadline. Wait and see mode. Let's do what we can and go from there. No decision other than to stay the course. For now.

 

Rayan Rupert wants to come here. When he was told the Blazers wanted him before the draft he said "get it done."
Scoot Henderson wants to come here.
I'm sure Amen Thompson wanted to come here.
Batum and Hart said it's a great organization.

 

true, until they don't because, some Jive Ass MFer wanted to go in another direction

 

That's ol' Gronker's favorite phrase, "mortgaging the future". As if 5 years is eternity.

 

I accidentally hit post earlier. What I meant to say is that it's a perfectly normal meeting with the team's franchise player to plan strategy, discuss players and proposals, and get Dame's input. Certainly that could result in a mutual decision to shop Dame. But to presume as some want to do that the purpose of the meeting is for Dame to give ultimatums or ask out strikes me as not based in real life.

 

They don't want to live in Portland is the bigger issue. Not dame lol.

 

Dame built a paradise here. Brought his family here. But some are doing everything in their power to evict him. Truly Pathetic.

 

I don't know, I think the Scoot hype is a far worse phenomenon. People like you are excited to throw away a player like Dame because you are mesmerized by a short guy with big hands who has never done shit.

 

Maybe they are trying to get things done right now? Nobody knows really what’s happening but I doubt both parties would want things to just linger. Dame doesn’t seem like the type to want to draw attention to himself.
