    Woj mentioned the Spurs and Clippers as well. I’m hoping he’s accurate about the Spurs.

    I know about the story, but him changing his mind because of that would be so petty so to you sir I say this is a troll post that needed green font!

    We’ll be thanking Dame shortly. We don’t have to pay that massive contract while he winds down his career on our mediocre team. We don’t have to listen to the whining. And Scoot has massive potential.

    If Cronin caves and trades a player with no no trade clause for lesser value to make that player happy he needs to go, he’s in over his head.

    We have no use for another guard. They would have to get great value for him from a third team that does need him in order for a trade to Miami to make any sense. Joe better fucking be shrewd in this deal.

    I would talk to Charlotte. I would talk to Zvezda and Partizan if they could give us a good enough package.

    We showed our loyalty by giving him that contract. He can choose to accept it and go where we send him, or he can walk away from it. He has the financial freedom to do so.

    The Clyde trade still stings. We gave him everything he wanted, and he showed his gratitude by going into the HoF as a Rocket. No more Otis Thorpes for our best player.

    Dude, if that post requires green font, you need to take a few days away from this board.

    Don't blame him for leaving.

    Would blame him for doing that though.

    Thanks for everything Dame, but about that trade request to Miami . . . screw you. You can’t expect to flee Portland and get your dream trade scenario, too. You will go where we send you, or you will retire.

    when has Chauncey ever shown he'll make a move like benching Ant? I can't believe you expect him to do something like that. You, like me, complained about Dame/CJ; then about Dame/Ant. How is Scoot/Ant any different...other than Ant has talent about 3 tiers below Dame?

    as for Brooklyn, have they ever really hinted they'd be interested in Dame? Miami and Philly have; maybe NY; maybe LAC; but Nets?

    I am happy about not paying him 60 mil at 36 years old. That’s about it though. Unless we get lots of picks and young BIGS it’s a pretty dark day.

    Yep they do, but young NBA players look at what the Cities have to offer after the money criteria. The NBA now has a form of Player Portal like D1 football. If you are a small market you better have a sharp (pardon the pun) marketing department and a reason for players to not want to jump.

    And he probably will. Cronin doesn't know what the fuck he is doing. He can't make a decent trade to save his life.
