    I'm thinking Turner buys them a year - next summer they will trade their 2031+2033 picks unprotected for a borderline all-star. That will be their final all in move to keep Giannis a few more seasons.

    That's actually might be the preferred outcome for us. By 2028 draft that team could be cooked and Giannis on a supermax well into his 30s might not fetch very much in trades.

    I thought they stretched Lillard for 5 years?

    Oh, they tried. But he never even gained so much as a quarter inch.

    Stretching an Achiles tendon doesn't make you taller.

    The 5 million would be "set off" the same way as with a buy out. There's generally no double dipping. And just set off for the 2 years of his original deal.

    I'd be happy with a quarter of an inch.

    Why? There literally is no correlation and people are just making things up. MFs used to play in CHUCKS bro...

    What we should be looking into is players playing on a calf strain. Because Durant, Haliburton, Dame (had one in March).

    Also, people with one leg have 50% less calf strains and Achilles tears.

    Just saw this on Facebook.

    Fake as f' but funny. I guess now Lillard has enough money to buy the Blazers.

    Adidas market cap is 43 billion but they're going to pay Dame 45 billion.

    So Dame will buy the Blazers, buy the As and move them to Portland too, maybe buy an NFL team, and still have a couple dozen billion left.

    Maybe they meant 45 billion rubles. That’s about 571 million.

    Yeah nice to see, Dames always been very complimentary of Jrue.

    I don't expect Jrue presence would prevent Dame from signing with the Blazers.

    Scoot starting at PG might though.

    I’ve got a feeling he won’t end up signing with us. Just a hunch.

    Not yet. He will sign with a team he can help push over the top to get his ring (as a main contributor). Timberwolves or Rockets. He will end his career with the Blazers though. Hopefully we're good then so he can have a ring with us too (as a role player)

    Theres not a single person left in that Timberwolves organization or ownership from over a decade ago - but still will be funny if he ends up there after they've grabbed so many Blazers including Roy.

    I think we have a very good chance to sign Dame just because he might want to stay in PDX after a few years way out in Milwaukee.

    The Cali teams might be next most likely primarily from proximity.

    Sac is irrelevant, GSW has Curry, LAC has Harden, LAL has Luka. I don't think Dame is ready to be a backup just yet. Whethere he should be or not is another story. He's better than Conley and Van Vleet assuming he's still Dame when he returns
