Some of what he says seems genuine, but he also seems guarded and skeptical, regardless of his words.
A very interesting thing he says early. "I was thinking I may be getting to training camp and id be sitting and waiting" Could mean something innocuous, but interesting.
A lot of divorced guys bulk up to feel like they're still attractive (EDIT: removed sarcasm green now that his divorce is confirmed)
He just commented on the weather and kind of stepped in it. I think in his heart of hearts, he was already in Miami. He looks like he's trying to accept his fate.
Sounds like he’s still in shock and wondering “How in the F did I get here” he also sounds like he’s on a business trip. I think it’s gonna a good fit for him
Almost 17 minutes in and I have to say for a guy as media savvy as Dame is, I'm a bit shocked. I thought he would even try to fake enthusiasm. Edit: at 17;30, the first vestiges of faking it.
I really do think he's going to love playing in Milwaukee. He should be over the moon. I just don't get why he's not showing more excitement at the opportunity before him. He's going to feel like he's been let out of jail as they're going to have to play him honestly.
I do love his answer on his defensive role. Nice nod to Jrue and I really do think we're going to see a Dame on defense we never saw in PDX.
If I were them, I'd be p***ing my pants too, no matter how enthused he did or didn't seem. I'm just saying--like the rest of you--I have seen a lot of interviews with Dame, and he seems more subdued than I expected him to be given the situation into which he's been traded. He also referred to Portland more than I expected, not just about the team, but how it became home to him. It's like he's hoping Milwaukee will be similar.
He never rescinded his trade request. He wanted to stay here while we continued to try to work out a deal with the M'eat. I can understand why Cronin rejected that offer.
Thought the sarcasm would be clear. Read enough regurgitated and incomplete articles that made it sound like we dumped Dame and that he wanted to “reconcile”. Like the blazers org did him dirty.
