    Do you not know how trading superstars works? That's almost always how it happens. Lol.

    I know bro but let’s just hang in there and see.

    Gonna suck playing against Dame. I think I’m gonna have a nightmare about him 3-peating or some ish.

    I mean that is the way you have to go in losing Dame. Also, the non quote of him needing at least a Draymond player is looking pretty accurate today.

    He said Dame wouldn't start next season as a Blazer if he were a betting man

    Finally! We can move on. Dame thx for the memories and I wish you well. My only issue is did we know Dame would do this before the shitty Grant signing? or do we want a vet like Grant onboard? And does Grant really want to be here for 4 or 5 yrs as we rebuild?

    It really sucks to see Dame go, but Scoot is legit. Sharpe has endless potential.

    We finally picked a path.

    Now it's up to Cronin to build around these two young stars. Hopefully he can get at least some value out of Dame. Watch our two guys dominate SL in a week. Everything is going to work out.

    Ah yes thank you. I mean, it wouldn't surprise me if he had already made his decision then. Hadnt he seen Dame just a couple days prior to that comment?

    This is the day i can tell you my negativity was right
    10+ years of Dame gave us NOTHING really worth, just some emotion in the first round

    NOW i can be positive because there's a new promising path

    Nah not even close. I'd say maybe 4-5 years at most.

    Brooklyn makes the most sense for us, question is do they want him? Or are they good on trading for 33 year old super stars.
