    I just received my Blazer plates for my car.

    My engine bay caught fire a few hours later on i5.

    I would normally blame an oil leak, electrical short or a combination of both for an engine bay fire, not license plates, but maybe I lived a sheltered life...

    The Omen thought checks out since there is a Damian involved. Not only is the season over, the whole world is.

    I'd recommend removing the plates and putting them on Joe Cronin's car.

    If the Blazers start the season On Fire that's a good thing.

    An omen can be good or bad. This sounds like a bad omen.

    sorry about your wheels
    that's some bad Blazer mojo, can you exchange the cursed TB plates for Oregon Trail plates? There's several different options now. There's one with bees, a deer plate, and a new one with pretty mountains.

    I mean, it won't exactly be a surprise if we're terrible, will it? Assuming (as seems likely) we start the season with Dame still on the payroll but we sit him while we "work on a trade", I honestly can't think of a team (maybe Washington?) that's worse than us on paper. Certainly we're the worst team in the West.

    Why would the team sit Dame?

    I think there are a lot of people that are reading the situation incorrectly. (I'm not saying you are one of them.)

    The story is that Cronin intentionally made Dame mad so that Dame would ask for a trade, then Cronin could continue tanking with a young team.

    I think that narrative is baloney.

    Cronin very much wants Dame to stay with the team, but was unable or unwilling to make a trade that knee-capped the future of the team to get a "win now" player.

    What Cronin actually wanted and still wants, is for Dame to return to his role of last season, and for the team to make the playoffs.

    I think it's important to remember that Victor Wembanyama was the reward for winning the #1 pick in the 2023 draft. If the team wasn't a championship contender, tanking for that particular player was worth missing the 2023 playoffs.

    I think it would be a "mutual agreement" thing - like Al Horford with OKC. Dame doesn't want to get injured, and we want Ant and Scoot to get as many minutes as possible, AND we want to lose a lot to get another high lottery pick.

    More likely an omen that you bought the wrong car…
