    Not my interpretation. That is exactly what Shams reported in your quote:

    so you're saying he should have kept the 'truth' quiet?

    he wrote a long emotional goodbye essay to Portland and it's fans. Maybe he felt it important to convey that he was OK with staying with the Blazers as an ancillary to the essay. You're judging him harshly for that. I'm not going to

    Shams reported that Dame was OK starting the season with the Blazers to give more time to facilitate a trade to Miami.
    Not that he'd stay for good

    Well, firstly that’s assuming that the article is true.

    But yes, let sleeping dogs lie. Now the NBA might investigate us for tanking because of this fucking article.

    This is not the first time he's reference something that Jody has done for his family. My guess is Jody has done something for Dame that he will forever be grateful for, outside of basketball, outside of the business side of things. That's why he makes a point to single out Jody every time.

    ... but only temporarily, until you can convince the other woman to let you move in.

    Yeah, this does not make Dame look any better, at all.

    I don't believe a word Shams writes, even when he says something I want to hear

    They had months to make a trade with Miami. I don't think it was an issue of time. Nothing was changing. Miami didn't have what we wanted. So that whole scenario would make zero sense to Cronin.

    The NBA incentivizes tanking, probably at the request of owners. They should investigate themselves.

    I think most fans would like even lottery odds for all non-playoffs teams.

    OK, so there are about 4 or 5 of you….and you know who you are…..who just need to logout, and step away from this place for a few. Camp starts up soon….come back then. Overthinking shit and claiming to know what really went down….sigh.
    Carry on self appointed experts of all things basketball.

    All that article is missing is how many toradol shots they made him take while brutally throwing him to the curb in front of giannis's house.

    Wow, only 4 or 5?
    I would put every single poster on this board into that category.

    They’ve named themselves with their constant bullshit.

    you know the interesting thing….Terry Stotts is going to be a VERY integral part of their team now. Who do you think will be drawing up plays in late game situations…..not that rookie coach who just so happen to get the job because he was tight with Giannis…..Terry will.
