Ya'll Florida haters thinking about moving there with your minimum wage job or something? If you have any amount of money, aside from familial attachments and love of Oregon, Florida is better by FAR. What the heck are you guys talking about?!?!
Oppressive laws and a movement against teaching black history for one thing. Tax breaks are a plus....the state govt is horrible. Not sure if you were serious with the question or green fonting.
Loyalty's subjective. In this day and age in the NBA, with players like Durant, Westbrook, Harden and others playing for different teams every couple of years, Dame is eternal. At the same time, I don't know how anyone can divorce that from the fact that Dame had as much input and control over his team and its fanbase than any player other than LeBron, and his "loyalty" resulted in him being one of the highest paid players in the NBA, a man with successful businesses in the Portland area and a national brand marketed largely on the fact that he was willing to take the road not traveled. Dame wasn't exactly an indentured servant for the Blazers. I think we need to stop pretending we were holding him hostage. He got a lot out of Portland that many bigger names have not out of their team(s).
Can you imagine if all those things happen, Jerami remains solid, we draft Bronny, Lebron comes to the blazers on vet min, Miami underachieves, we throw the farm for Bam, we roll to 24-25 with Reigning ROTY Scoot Reigning MIP Sharpe Franchise superstar Jerami Grant Still Prime Lebron James Reigning DPOY Bam Adebayo We play Dame in the Finals, Game 7, Blazers up 2, Dame's 3 for the championsip. Blocked by scoot! Sharpe wins Finals MVP but ESPN headline: Lebron and Bronny, first father son champions as teammates Lebron retires and the Blazes proceed to dominate the next decade with 5 more rings led by Sharpe and Scoot, the best backcourt duo of all time.
LMAO at people blaming Olshey when he hasn't been with the team for two years. Bending over backwards to excuse Cronin through all his lies and schilling for Jody Allen. Unbelievable.
What oppressive laws are you talking about? Nobody is erasing history of slavery or Jim crow, they just aren't pushing the demonstrably fake 1619 BS which is actually ultra divisive? All that trash along with CRT does is help bring about racial tension that was all but gone until it was resurrected cynically to divide Americans for political gain by BOTH parties so they can enrich their donors while we all fight over race and orientation. Divide and Conquer is the name of the game for the rich and when people back that because they think they are helping it shows a complete lack of knowledge of history. I strongly suggest people look up some nightmare historical examples like the Cultural Revolution in China where exactly these kind of divisions were exploited.
I too have strong opinions and only mine is the the correct take!!1!!1!1!!!!!!! All the Absolutes are true!
Dame...thank you. Cronin...did what you could, but you have to think of both Mr. Lillard....and the organizations future. You can't execute a trade with Dame that sets the franchise back. Dame...you got paid.....well. You played outstanding. All good from both sides. Cronin...you took the best player available although I know you tried to move that pick to create..the trade. Grant...you showed us what you are capable of last season. Give the team a full year of it next season. Be that force that makes defenses have a hard night sleeping before they play this team. Trendon...thank you and good luck. Fams...love all of you. Even those I have on ignore.
Or Kulaks which lead to the Holodomor in Ukraine and a huge collapse in agriculture in Russia. They created class envy between landless peasants and small farmers JUST to expropriate the land which they claimed would be used to help the landless, it lead to millions dying of starvation. Anyone cheering on divisive stuff (as opposed to wanting to eliminate Red Lining, notice how THAT is never discussed?) is ultra naive to history.
LOL. Florida’s economy is booming, people have flocked there since the pandemic, and the government is so functional that the incumbent governor was re-elected in a landslide. I WISH Oregon’s government was so horrible.
