He’s be dead to me. Honestly I don’t even like to reminisce about Aldridge based on how he left Portland dry.
There is no such thing as zero risk in my world. One player can come to a team and change the culture, either positively or negatively....regardless of their skill level or salary.
Yeah things he believes in, not because of loyalty to the Blazers. The person I was responding to was trying to show that all the things he did was because of his loyalty, it had nothing to do with loyalty to the Blazers. Saying he was loyal because he was active in the community is crazy since most players are active in the community. Sheed did it because it was something he believed in, not to promote himself.
So wait.... Haynes is saying that Dame didn't ask out two years ago because he wanted to make sure that another black coach got hired as a head coach?????? Come on Haynes...
Yeah I think from that point it has been speak to my agent. I doubt Dame had much to say in that meeting a week ago either he probably let Goodwin do most of the talking. I feel like Dame took using that pick as a direct shot and the last straw.
Oh, seriously. The Blazers made trades and got guys he wanted. They made him the face of the franchise even when Aldridge was here. He got paid as much as anyone in the league and even is a national brand. They put his freaking no-game cousin on the roster FOR TWO YEARS! It's nonsense to say the team was disloyal to Dame Lillard because they thought making a trade imbalanced against them to bring in another of his buddies with no assurance that he wouldn't do the same thing or hint at leaving at the trade deadline or the next offseason or the offseason after that. THAT, friend, is Dame being disloyal: He's trying to sink the team if he stays and he's trying to sink the team if he goes. If you can't see that, you've totally lost any objectivity.
This fear monger shit better not work on Cronin. Players don’t come to Portland anyways and as far as our own players we can pay them more than anyone else. Money talks bullshit walks. I’m getting to the point where I’d take a lesser deal that doesn’t send him to Miami.
He’s like 2 years older than me. He asked to be friends with me on facebook a few years ago and I didn’t even remember him from HS.
I hope he does. Something like that makes me think Scoot would work so hard to never let that happen again. And in a year or two he would be the one schooling Dame. Father time is undefeated.
Because it won't be a consideration. Besides, this situation isn't resolved, so how can Russillo comment on it now? He can't, but he did anyway.
That's..... what he was saying. He was saying that no star is going to think back on how the Blazers handle this situation and have it sway their opinion towards the Blazers.
And Dame showed conditional love to Blazer fans. That tweet asking what he did wrong was so cringe, it was something out of a high school romance. No one that cares does that. It's either someone who is insecure to the extreme or someone that gaslights. Dame got worshipped by fans and that's looking very well like why he treated them well. He's dragging Blazer fans now to get what's good for Dame. The irony is, wherever he goes, he's not going to be that big fish. The Heat aren't even the top pro team in Miami. And, if he doesn't win, well, I don't even want to think what kind of tweets he's going to put out there.
