defense wins championships. Love Dame. He got two D’s in his name, none in his game. Most efficient 70 ever. But d wins ‘ships, and I think that we’ve seen that here. We can score all over the place the last decade, but we barely getting into playoffs and making light noise cuz our D sucks. Doesn’t change how I feel about Dame and how much I appreciate what he provided, but I realize we stuck in status quo and time for a change. Especially if he soured on us.
We'll find out. Jaden Hardy couldn't hit threes for G-League Ignite (27%) then shot 40% for the Mavericks as a rookie.
Training camp doesn’t start until September. I don’t think the 30-day rule is at all a deterrent here, aside from having to wait for the new player presser.
It’s no disrespect to Dame, but he’s not a big-time creator. Scoot dishes and makes opportunities for other. Don’t lie, brah. You and I both know Dame can’t even properly lob oops. Cuz he’s a fire shooter. He’s trained to fix on the rim. Looking forward to the new dynamic cuz what we had wasn’t working. And that’s no disrespect to Dame. He wants out, let us get him out and try something new cuz the old way wasn’t working so it’s on us to do what we gotta do… to survive… And still I see no changes, can't a brother get a little peace?
What jerkoff replies. It’s so forumy to interpret this that way. I was replying to Nate saying people were calling him a liar and saying that he didn’t do anything. The point is the reason people are calling him a liar is not because he literally didn’t do anything when he drafted a wonderful human being named Scoot Henderson, people are calling him a liar because he didn’t make the moves to improve the team around Dame's timeline. And in that sense, he didn’t do anything. I’m not giving my opinion, I’m just being factual.
Gordon Hayward dude. There are 30 teams in the league, 32 after a possible expansion. Someone will pick him up.
That Dame will end up in Miami and Joe is shooting for .75 cents on the dollar instead of .50 Not sure that’s what it said, but it may as well have Herro can’t be traded until Sunday? Dame until the 10th?
I imagine just like this pre-official FA period a trade can be "agreed to" but not official until all players are qualified to trade?
A friend (I know, but it’s true) and I are thinking about starting a podcast. The ones we’ve mocked up so far have completely gone off the rails. Turns out he and I have no filter
Not to the level of Dame for sure. But he seems like he might be a more natural point guard right off the bat. He might actually be able to play some defense, and who knows, maybe helps the team win more while not being as good individually. No one knows, but I'm not going to question what a 19 year old kid, who by all accounts is a gym rat, and works tirelessly on his mistakes or shortcomings, can't do.
