    Cronin saying he still plans to build a winner around Dame and have Dame retire in Portland

    It's almost like Joe is begging Dame to publicly ask to be traded.

    You can only say "we want to build around Dame" for so long.

    At some point your actions mean a lot more than your words.

    "He (Scoot) is not your normal 19 year old...he's a special special player... uber talent... not going to take too long to find his stride. He's a little unique in that regard. I would argue Scoot is anything but an average 19 year old (prospect)."

    "You can tell how excited I am about Scoot Henderson"

    - Joe Cronin in the most monotone, beat down voice.

    LOL

    And then in his next statement he said something like "it will take him a little time to acclimate."

    But he said he intends to keep both players.

    Asked about chances of trading Dame: "No such think as zero, but it's my goal Dame retires in Portland... as far as them playing together, those two can blend together well and compliment each other as well. we'll see out Chauncey decides to use him in year one. I don't know if he'll be the backup or starter."

    "I'd rather have the shorter player"

    Cronin said it. No one can say he didn't!

    Ah so the reports were wrong.

    6'2.5 barefoot. So he's slightly taller than people thought.

    "I'd rather have the shorter guy who is a better player than a 6'5" guy." when asked about playing him and Dame together.

    Do you (Cronin) feel like you're in danger of losing Dame?

    Cronin: "No...."

    LOL Even Cronin knows they can't fucking play together

    We've got 3 point guards, 1 shooting guard...

    And we're about to play 3 of the 4 out of position

    WOOHOO!

    Twitter's been great tonight. All the fanbases of the teams we couldn't get deals done with are blasting their GMs, too.

    They have to trade Ant. They have to. I'm going to be so annoyed if we go into next season with Dame/Ant/Scoot/Sharpe.

    I know you don't like it, but god you could just feel the discomfort after he said no.

    He also said, "they're both 1's, so it's a good question".
