    He shouldn’t be.

    He is also coming from the vast majority of his career under Neil “I put my bait out, but they didn’t bite” Olshey

    I don’t see how that’s connected with what I said. I don’t think that Cronin commits to spend that much money on Grant unless he has a commitment from Dame that he’s coming back. I’m sure the commitment includes other steps, including a trade that moves Ant for needed vets up front.

    Just google how many games Zion misses annually and you have you're answer. And who needs a center anyways.

    I would love that. If it was Ant, Nurk and future picks for Zion and Zion could stay healthy, we would have Dame, Shaedon, Jerami, Zion probably a C with the TPMLE, Scoot, Thybulle, Nas and some vet min guys off the bench along with Murray if he's ready to contribute right away. That being said what's the track record of this twitter account?

    Yeah, but my point is that Cronin wouldn’t pay that money unless he’s pretty sure he’s got moves that will keep Dame here.

    Dame may still want out. Bringing back Grant is just Joe proving his love to Dame. I don't think Dame is completely committed to staying yet.

    But if we don't make any other significant changes, I don't see how Dame stays...

    So you’d let Dame kill his trade value by forcing his way out and then you let Grant, an asset, walk for nothing? That doesn’t make a lot of sense.

    As I said, any agreement Dame may have made to stay may include more steps. The rumor about the Zion deal is certainly interesting. I could see this being discussed last Monday at the meeting with Dame and his agent.
