@THE HCP you need to make sure they play return of the mack when Dame comes out the tunnel the first time as a Blazer again.
I generally agree, but would go even further... I personally don't like this move. The franchise had turned the page and was looking to the future. Unfortunately we just obstructed Scoot's path forward. I would have been okay with Dame returning on a minimum contract (with absolutely no expectations)... but this doesn't feel like that. Although I guess it really will not have any material impact on next year's season.
Some of you are looking for problems where at this point there are none -- maybe in the future this might be an issue but for now just be happy. If you cannot be happy that the team is bringing back the face of this franchise then as far as I am concerned .. fine -- I think your wrong but that is your opinion -- cool I do want to say I am sorry for being so combative when I disagree also I am cool with everyone from this point and I am clearing the slate and hope some can try and do the same with me. I am going to stay away a little longer unless there is news cause I need a break and let the air clear with all and I do mean everyone but wish you all the best. Thx for your time and Go Blazers and Welcome home Dame !!!
You don't know how this works: Cronin is at fault when things go wrong and lucked into anything that went right!
I think both can be true. This doesnt make Scoot expendable at all, in fact it probably hamstrings us with him unfortunately. This was a legacy play for sure. It doesnt really do much for the team this year, and really the fruits of anything wont be seen for another year (if dame comes off the bench, which honestly should be his only choice). Scoot is just not a #3 pick bonafide superstar PG. That much is clear. So this doesnt help us long term. But I do love having him back. I wont get caught up in all the fanfare because thats just media playing to my emotions instead of the team on the floor playing to them. Once I learned that I tuned out watching anything Blazers until the front office actually puts a winning team on the floor. Until then, its just the media and the team selling us a bad bill of goods. People wont read that I love having dame back, so ill say it here again.

There's obviously a plan in place. They didn't wake up this morning and say "we should get Dame back and figure everything out later". Whatever it is, Dame must be okay with it and even if the plan is to trade Scoot, they'll put him in a position to be as successful as possible for trade value. My guess is Dame will only come back this year if the team is doing well. He'll be a huge motivating addition for the stretch and Jrue will only be here for one year.
