The next time we see a trade Dame scenario we need to be at that poster's house with TORCHES & PITCHFORKS!!
Of course, Dame continues to impress with his leadership and his commitment to the community, but I'm really impressed by how many of the guys were there for this - on a Monday morning in mid-June. In addition to Dame, I also saw 7 other players in the video: Quarterman Shabazz Chief Mo C.J. Ed Crabbe (I think). BNM
Rod Strickland is the all time leader in that A/M data for the Blazers. Dave Twardzik is the single season leader in that measurement, in the Blazers Championship season. You error in calling it MarAzul's Stat. It is a metadata calculated from stats and I believe it originated with Pete Newell although other coaches (Armory Gill) at the time also used it. MarAzul learned from Coach Newell, but Coach Gill referenced it while chewing MarAzul's butt about shot selection after a freshman game.
Why? Can't trade really nice guys? Does that mean Meyers retires a Trailblazer? He's a super nice guy
@dviss1, we coupe de la, so no disrespect intended...... But do you understand the irony of you asking that question to MM? I want to ask you the exact same thing. You clearly knew the answer before asking MM.
Steve Blake was a nice guy (unless you tried to start something with him) and we traded him 3 times. Mason Plumlee was a nice guy and we traded him. I'm sorry, what was your point? BNM
My point is that suggesting trading Dame should not be met with ridicule because he's a nice guy, as suggested in a previous post.
All career journeymen. Rarely do you find loyal, upper-echelon player that wants to be a part of a single franchise this day in age... Is he top-10 in this league? No. But he's clearly top-25, and I'd argue he's top-15.
No, but it should be met with ridicule because he's a nice guy, a great leader and a great player who is committed to being here and locked up for 4 more years. The latter are all well known and qualify as common knowledge to anyone who follows the team. BNM
Trading Dame to trade Dame should be met with ridicule. Trading Dame because you think it may better our team, should not. Him being a great guy means nothing. Again, I think we all agree.
You're throwing out names of "nice guys". There's a difference between guys like Dame and Nards/Plums/etc. Your posts would make you seem like you didn't understand the difference. And if you do understand the difference, what's wrong with complimenting arguably the best player to wear a Blazers uni (at least during his prime)?
Dame isn't close to the best player to wear a Blazer uni in his prime. As for Dame vs the journeymen, I know the difference. I was simply responding to a post that said "next time we see a trade Dame scenario, we need to be at that posters house with torches and pitchforks." This statement was the first response to Dame being a nice guy. My point was, who gives a fuck if he is a nice guy when it comes to making your team better. Then the soccer moms showed up.
