    I think he has to be. Dame's own mother is saying he won't suit up.

    yes I do....Dame is a big cap space commitment, for that you need his commitment or it's not worth the risk if you have a loyal pt guard in place. Only recently has that been nipped in the bud
    he'll now willingly expand his list which was the problem when he first asked for the trade. He could easily choose Portland if Miami isn't an option and I'm not sure that's not where he's headed. Winning changes things. Dame's a charmer...he'd win back the fans with one apology speech at Moda. I'm not predicting this will happen but I see it as a possibility right now.

    Yes.

    Are you purposely ignoring Goodwins admission of contacting multiple teams to dissuade them from trading for him... days after the request and well before the moratorium ended?

    How Scoot got his nickname. From the most important people, Scoot's parents, Chris and Crystal.
    Did it come from Scoot scooting around on his butt? ("That's not true.")
    "My husband gives everybody a nickname."
    "It comes to me at a certain time of night. And I just named him something."
    Can't wait to see Scoot's parents at a game! They are both a lot of fun.

    We’re entering the era of basketball where I’m older than the players’ parents. I remember the first year I was older than one of the draft picks (Tracy McGrady), now I’m so much older lol

    Exactly. And I'm legit A-OK with letting Dame rot for a season just to punish Dame, Goodwin and Miami for what they've done. Let Dame feel the pressure of Father Time and if not, maybe we got an expiring contract in four seasons. I would play hardball at a level that would cause Morey to tell me to calm the fuck down. Anywhere but Miami is my motto.

    You're ancient! I was 1 1/4 when we won the championship! Still young enough to count quarter years!
