Why was it Cronin's responsibility? If Miami would have wanted Dame so badly, he could have been had. Deliver an offer we couldn't refuse. It's...
Sorry, I thought you were responding to my post about Batum. Yeah, move RoCo's ass out ASAP.
That is a GREAT point.
Fair point.
Let's hope what he needed was a change of scenery. He is a HUGE part of our future.
The argument is actually making me chuckle. NBA: "We're investigating you for tanking." Blazers: "I promise you, we're really this terrible. Have...
Haynes doesn't use a quote. Of course, Dame was going to report to camp; he's under contract. The word "rescind" was Haynes', not Lillard's....
For the record, Dame calling the team out publicly to improve the roster really handicapped the franchise. How do you make a trade when the rest of...
Why? We have a roster spot and he would be a good influence on the youngsters.
Yes, but Haynes left out the other part of the quote "while a deal could be worked out with Miami". Read the article. It's about as one-sided as...
He didn't rescind anything. He just said he would be happy starting the season with us while we worked out a deal. There's a difference.
Man, it would be nice to have Nico back. Not the best player, but a good French-speaking role model for Rupert and Camara. Gives us a length we do...
Where this gets tough is that by the end of the season, NO ONE is feeling great. Every player is playing through pain, through bumps and bruises....
Can't watch it yet. Too soon.
The entire "rebuild around Dame under Cronin" idea was a Quixotic fallacy. We weren't stripped of assets with the s***ty deals made by Joe, we were...
My fear is that the League makes an example of us. It's low cost as we're a bottom-of-the-barrel franchise.
I agree on the veteran part, but it doesn't have to be a highly-paid player. I remember Dame being asked who his biggest player influence was as a...
It's human nature to look for evidence to reinforce your own biases and to comfort yourself.
Superstars rarely make great GMs. Larry Bird and Jerry West were the exceptions to the rule, and largely because they were grinders. Magic...
I partially agree. Unfortunately for him, part of Miami's strategy--which they have executed before--was to use the disgruntled player to lower the...
