    God that was a fucking nightmare. Imagine being so fucking stupid you take a reporters bias and slant over the actual dude who proved loyalty to the team.

    I know this is a crazy thought, but hear me out on this.

    What if Dame is fully on board with what the Blazers are doing?

    Nah. That can't be it.

    You know, guys like Abbott float stuff like this, Shams and the Warriors guy float stuff like the Toradol nonsense, we remember it, but the vast majority of fans don't. The pundits are quickly on to the next story. Stephen A. Smith probably averages several wrong predictions or reports per day. But they got their views and traffic and when they're wrong, it just gets washed away with their next report and the one after that.

    Because Dame isn't leaving. And, for some reason, they believe if he does get traded, it will be to south beach. Their hopes have been dashed.

    The only way it ends is if Joe puts the best team around Dame that Dame has had... I don't know how he does that. It will most likely cost us our first rounders in 2026, 28, and 30 along with pick swaps.

    We're about to see if Joe can ever pull off what he says he's going to and if he can't Dame will be traded before the season starts. I bet Dame goes radio silent for a little while at least I hope he does, unless of course it's to say that he's staying here no matter what... that's the only thing I would want to hear from him right now.

    I have it on good authority his phone call concerned a toenail fungus situation that he has. My source on the blazers practice facility janitorial staff gave me that update immediately.

    The most hilarious thing to me is the same people who troll dame are the same ones begging for him to be on their team.

    To which I say again, you can fuck all the off and shut the fuck up.

    Please and thank you.

    lmao, this crock of shit Marang thinks he's special. this exact same message (to the word) was delivered to: highkin, oram, haynes, and presumably every other mediaperson covering dame and/or blazers. can't believe some people think he's got sources.

    Doesn't matter. They don't have the assets. Cronin needs to bring in another real good vet that fits between now and the trade deadline.

    There will not be many free agent signings. Nobody who's motivated has cap space and there aren't really any free agents anyway. Teams will need help getting things done.

    The flurry of deals that didn't happen at the draft means there is still a lot of motivated teams out there who need to make deals.

    Cronin has shown that he isn't just going to bend over and take a substandard deal.

    He said Brooklyn in the same interview and Brooklyn has way more to offer. I just never understood why Miami was so sure it was them.

    I mean he's not terrible but that dude Sprague[sp?] is awful. Seemed generally disappointed when the Cronin statement came out. I could get a dude from this board and run just as good of a podcast as those two
