    Correct. He never denied it.

    Wishful thinking.

    Honestly I think it’d be good for Dame to meet with PA and put pressure on him to make the team better. So if they did meet i’d Be totally ok with it. However Dame said to ignore Canzano, which like I said means either he didn’t meet with PA or that Canzano made way more out of it then there was.

    Canzano is a shock jock of the lowest order, I don’t believe a word he says, and in this case Dame apparently doesn’t either...

    Did you read it before you wrote it?

    Your source proves you wrong.

    Lillard] went to see Paul Allen again. Any truth to that, you think?

    Haynes: Where did that report come from?

    Jaynes: I think John Canzano reported that.

    Haynes: No, he hasn’t met with Paul Allen.

    Fentress: Wasn’t it the report that he requested to meet with him?

    Haynes: He hasn’t met with him and he hasn’t requested it.

    Jaynes: There isn’t anything to that?

    Haynes: No, I haven’t heard anything like that.

    Jaynes: Well, you are the Dame Whisperer.

    Either
    1. Haynes is lying (this board has accused him of that in the past, e.g. Batum) or
    2. Lillard leaked it on purpose, to his buddy reporter, who asked no questions.

    Either way, Lillard has not denied it in any way that we can verify that he really denied it,
    which is how a public figure denies things to be credible.*

    *Minimum: quick interview with quotes, questions preceding Lillard's answer.
    Maximum: filmed, more than one reporter, questions asked after Lillard's statement.

    There’s always the chance Canzano’s source was his left hand talking to his right hand. I don’t know but either way, It doesn’t really worry me that the best / highest paid employee at a company may want to meet with the owner

    Now you're backtracking (covering your tracks). So you admit that we have no Lillard denial.

    As a tortured guy, you have a nebulous, cloudy, ambiguous way of making your point. But you clearly sided with those who more firmly said Lillard had denied it. So you're their diplomatic representative. Kind of like, missionaries soften resistance, then the Cavalry massacres Indians who still resist. A good cop, bad cop interview. I'm onto you O-Livers.

    Well Haynes is a much more reliable reporter than Canzano, so I'm inclined to believe him more than, Canzano. However all we have is hearsay, so I'm not denying it could have happened. I am saying that I'm fine with him meeting with PA if he wanted too, and I'm fine with him not. I have no doubt if he's healthy, Dame will be in a Blazer uniform in October...

    Before you call people out maybe you should actually read the article as well "Haynes: He hasn’t met with him and he hasn’t requested it." So its you believe Haynes or you believe Canzano the person Dame called a Clown.

    Is that your way or saying that until Dame comes out and says it himself you will continue to believe the columnist who has burned just about every bridge with the Blazers organization?

    That's just a quote of a headline. You actually think that Lillard said, "Haynes: He hasn’t met with him and he hasn’t requested it." ??

    You think a headline = a quote??? To repeat: Your own article explicitly says,
