    It addresses this, he addresses what sounds like his now dissolved marriage and he ends the song talking about us the fans here in Portland and how he hopes we know that he loves us and hopes we can greet him with love whenever we see him. I thought the ending was cool.

    That's hilarious. Did Jimmy think the Heat had Dame under contract at some point? Not sure how the Blazers, who actually have Dame under contract, talking to other GMs is somehow tampering.

    Good luck with those prayers. I guess that's what you do when you can't make a deal with Trader Joe®.

    … Oh, you wired me awake
    And hit me with a hand of broken nails
    Yeah, you tied my lead and pulled my chain
    To watch my blood begin to boil
    … But I'm gonna drink, I'm gonna drink your
    I'm gonna drink your salty tears and run
    … Yeah, I'm gonna drink, I'm gonna drink your
    I'm gonna drink your salty tears and run

    28, 29 and 30 picks are all potentially lotto picks.

    Not necessarily likely, but possible. Giannis will be 33, 34 and 35 (years 15, 16 and 17). Still young enough to be competitive, but at the tail end of his career. But who knows what will happen between then and now. And honestly, Milwaukee is a harder location to build up than something like Miami.

    Dame will be retired by then (or more likely, not on the Bucks anymore), and either an aging Giannis or even maybe no longer on the Bucks Giannis, it could lead to decent picks for Portland.

    And hopefully in 4, 5 and 6 years, Scoot and Shaedon will be hitting their strides at 23/24, 24/25 and 25/26.

    Are the swap picks also unprotected, or just the 29 pick?

    Sorry, but i gotta vent

    My head hurts and i feel sick.

    My favorite player ever was traded for TRASH.

    yea i said it.

    -Ayton is not a legitimate player for a playoffs team.

    -Jrue is old and expiring=very little value.

    -One draft pick my unborn son will get to watch and 2 swaps?! Helloooo we'll probably have the same record as them by then.

    Cronin is terrible, I don't like him. He gives me anxiety and i don't trust ANYONE on this roster.

    /Sorry

    He also lays blame on the franchise for choosing "another mission."

    Jrue isn't expiring because he's not getting more 39M in free agency, so he will either extend or go into a lame duck season after this upcoming season. He's no older than Dame. Every contending team who isn't completely set with their back court aka every team that was mentioned as being interested in Dame.

    Ayton could be great but he's easily a starting center as the fourth or fifth best player on a playoff team and that's if he stays who he's been.

    Wait until we see the return on Jrue.
