    Payton for DiVincenzo? He could be good fit next to Dame? And then we trade Simons for AD?

    So trade for another injury prone player? That's smart...

    I don't understand this response? Who said anything about you? Are you a journalist? Press pass type guy? The three sources i am talking about actually have access. Casey Holdahl, Danny Marang, Aaron Fentress. All three sources have said tentatively that they thought it could happen Dec 26th.
    They all claim "sources" or at least claim to be "In the know". I agree the team probably changed it on them.
    That is why i said " Have to admit it's getting long..."

    not as much as he'll lose if he has an injury setback...teams already want what he can bring.

    Just looked up tickets for tonight. Why are they so expensive for the Charlotte Hornets? I understand prices go up for certain players but i just don't see it for the Hornets?

    Yooo i was checking the same. My travel plans got thrown out the door this wk cuz of the storm so I'm actually in town during a game night.

    Wanted to hit the game but cheapest tix i can find are like 120-150 for three people and theyre way up in the 300 level. Screw that.


    Think it's cuz its the holidays and everyone wants to go

    I got decent tickets in the 300s today for like 110 each. Pretty expensive especially for a Charlotte game, but it’s the only game I could catch while still in town…

    That might be it? Crazy prices for a game like that.

    With prices like that, it better be a win.

    Blazers put together some nice packages by players around the league and former teammates of Dame congratulating him.

    Interesting to note all the starters from the 13-15 era (RoLo, LMA, Batum) congratulated Dame, but Wes did not, even though Wes is still playing.

    Honestly they probably justified the raise in cost because it's the first home game of Dame after becoming the leading scorer of the team.

    If true, it's fucking stupid. But that's my only theory.

    So basically one home game after 6 games on the road then back at the Warriors on Friday. Technically that’s 8 game road trip. Let’s go further…. Back at home after Friday then 3 more on the road…. smh 12 game road trip

    I think Wes and Dame didn’t get along from information I got back in the days. Crazy to think now because everybody seems to love Dame

    People should relax about when GP11 comes back, he will be back as soon as he's ready. The man is a competitor, so for those that think he is skating, you are wrong! I mean look at Dame's core injury and how long it affected him? Relax, he will take the floor and be healthy...
