    We all want the team to improve but you gotta be realistic. Draymond and a re-signed Grant doesn’t turn this team into title contenders.

    If Dame’s demands cost this team Sharpe and/or Scoot, it will haunt this franchise like the Dale Davis for Jermaine O’Neal trade.

    100%… it will damage his legacy too if he forces a trade of Sharpe/Scoot for a likely first rd exit.

    Trading Scoot or Sharpe would be so much worse than Jermaine.

    I don't get it. There's no excuse for name calling or attacking someone because you don't agree with them. If someone attacks me, I'll attack back, but I never start it.

    The number of times I have wanted to call someone on this forum a fucking moron is beyond measure, but I didn't do it..... mostly because they'd probably be too stupid to think it was an insult.

    He’s not wrong. It will tarnish his legacy for fans of the Blazers front of the jerseys

    We aren't trading Scoot or Shaedon. It's a moot point.

    I think they will try to do it without trading Sharpe or Scoot. That would not age well at all. And Dame is smart enough to know the optics of that wouldn't look good. But when the re-sign Grant and if for some reason they could add a Green, that should provide enough veteran players along with Nurk and whatever vet they sign with the vet minimum. The starting lineup was pretty good last year....when healthy. It was the bench that was brutal. Sharpe will be better off the bench, hopefully Little is healthy/healthier, and Scoot/Murray should contribute more than most of what the bench had to offer last year.

    most players get traded at some point. Maybe someday after multiple championships, All Star appearances and whatnot either or both of Scoot and Shaedon will be traded too, or not... whatever, it's just sports after all

    Regardless, Dame will be among the greatest Trailblazers ever. Total stud

    The Blazers refused to trade them during the draft. I don't think that's going to change now. They are part of Cronin's rebuild.

    of course, but if Dame publicly opts in and then the Buck's GM calls up Joe tomorrow (or near the deadline) and wants to work out a deal landing them the Scoot & Shaedon show + filler for Giannis... plans could change
