    Right. But Dame will still be paid at the same rate as before, he won't have to wait five years to get all his money. The only thing that is changing is how his salary impacts their cap.

    appreciate the link. If Dame wants to come home now- and is willing to do what is necessary to win and develop team, bring him back, work out the rest

    We have two open 2 ways slots. Dame can rehab and play for the remix.

    If the Dame buyout happened 10 days ago is it possible the Blazers might have done something different than trade Ant for Jrue?

    I could see Dame making sense to pair in a PG rotation with Scoot.

    But Dame doesn't make any sense in a 3 player PG rotation with Jrue/Scoot.

    Since he can't play this year, no I don't think it changes anything

    Not sure if you're joking here or not.

    Dame does not qualify for a 2-way roster spot (have to have less than 3-years NBA experience). The Remix can sign him - but Dame would remain a FA and could sign an NBA contract with another team at any time he desired.

    If you aren’t sure he was joking maybe it’s time to up your caffeine intake.

    Plus, if he decides to go elsewhere, he becomes a trade asset.

    The Blazers need catch and shoot threats to work off Scoot, Deni and the bigs, Unfortunately, Dame was never a great shooter off the catch - and with the expected loss of ability to create separation by himself - this is likely his best case scenario in the NBA.

    Wish him the best, but I suspect his benefit to the Blazers whenever he does sign with them will be ceremonial.

    Dame was 42% last season on catch and shoot threes.
