Thank you for everything Dame. I don't blame you. You are one of my all time favorite player. Man this sucks. Fuck Olshey

 

[Hoopguru]

Wow

 

[Hoopguru]

Miami bound

 

[Ripcity4life77]

This breaks my heart but makes me wonder why the friggin hell did we give Grant that big ass contract.

 

[tykendo]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

[MightyMouseOps1]

Cronin should be fired

Trade asset

 

[Sloth]

I hate when players do this, Dame included. Thought he might stay especially with the contract Grant got, but then again maybe we were willing to give Grant such a big deal as gonna save cap room by moving Dame?

Mostly fuck Olshey but also the comprehensive incompetence of this entire organization for the last 10 years.

 

[TBpup]

Not sure why they would pay all the money to Grant if Dame is leaving. Expensive veteran presence?

Given the contracts handed out to guys like Van Vleet and Bane, I don’t think Grant’s contract will be too hard to move when the new CBA kicks in. At worst we should expect a first round draft pick, at best maybe a young prospect and a draft pick.

 

[Predator]

Consider me .01% surprised.

 

[EGame]

I'm really sad it has come to this, but I think it is best for both parties. There really is no move we could have done to build a contender with dame so it is time to rebuild and build around Sharpe and Scoot and future assets. And for Dame, I hope he gets a ring to whomever we trade him too, I have no ill will of Dame wanting out, he has given his all to this team, his blood, sweat and tears and I will always appreciate what he did for this franchise and city of Portland

 

[Hoopguru]

Hope its not Miami

 

[SwissBlazer]

Why the new deal 12 months ago? Really disappointed.

 

[Cugel]

I hope we beat his ass bad every game we face him

 

[Natebishop3]

I had a feeling it was coming. We weren’t doing Jack shit to appease him and it felt deliberate.

To get paid

 

[Hoopguru]

Cronin Failed

 

[TBpup]

Tough day, but it also seems like maybe it was time. Every summer lately, dealing with the will he or won't he. Wish him well and hope he gets a chance to win a ring like Drexler did.

Hopefully, Portland gets some good assets out of this to help the rebuild with the young kids.

 

[Mote]

Wow... What a bittersweet time to be a Blazer fan. Good luck Dame!

 

[BigGameDamian]

I thought this would never happen.
