Dame asks for trade (And there it is)

You either overpay (import tax so to speak) for above-market assets, or you manufacture your own. We have always done better with guys we drafted as the main core. Five of our top seven players on the 1990 team were draft picks. Only Duck and Buck were acquired. I think this is the way to go.

 

for sure, and thats another reason I like companies that are de-centralized versus centralized. My experience with consolidation into larger d-c companies kms the first thing they do is cut cost of business and allow the smaller markets to not provide a more personal touch/service/prod availability.

 

I’d rather have Ingrum over Simmons.

 

This is great for the NBA, but customers in the small market not being told that they are effectively a feeder for larger markets might understandably become bitter.

 

Dude gets taken to the cleaners. Jovic needs to be in the deal as well as Caleb Martin and Clowney.

 

Sounds great!

 

I wouldn't either, but if we get extra picks for taking him on...okay. Big expiring salary in a couple of years.

 

When is this gonna be over, I honestly feel like the anticipation leading up to a shitty compensation package might be worse than the idea of trading Dame. I really hope Joe is doing what he says he is.

 

But it wasn’t just Minnesota.

They got a good haul for Mitchell from Cleveland.

Brooklyn got a good haul for Durant from Phoenix.

Houston got a good haul for Harden.

We will get the worst haul for arguably the best player of that bunch.

 

I’m in no way saying Scoot will be better or worse than Dame…. Players progress differently…. They will certainly be different in their games…. But if Dame was doing what Scoot was doing at 17-19, he wouldn’t have gone to Weber State, he would have not gone to college for four years, etc. I love Dame, I wish he’d rescind his trade request, but Scoot is a legit baller and I’m sorry not sorry for being excited he’s a Blazer.

 

If we have to trade with Miami and we don’t get back Jovic, Jaquez, and hopefully Martin, I’m going to be firmly on the “fire Joe” bandwagon. There’s no excuse. They don’t have picks. We are handing them arguably a top 5 player. He would instantly be their best player. Fuck Miami.

 

And now the threats begin. I told y’all he’d use the “refuse to play” lever if he had to.

 

Is this account one of Dames cousins?!?

 

have you considered it might be best to stop posting ridiculously obvious propaganda tweets out of Miami?

 

I guess Dame is preparing to go full Harvey Dent.

 

Before the blue check became an $8 DLC wearable, you could maybe tell who was fake or not lol now it’s probably 300 player burner accounts all reporting for their buddy Dame

 

Didn’t read it but is that another article outta Miami?

 

look at the source...it's right out of Miami

people need to realize that Pat Riley, being a viper, is waging an all-out propaganda war against the Blazers

 

His rep would never be the same. And if he didn’t win a chip there it would be even worse.
