    I watched it. The guy doesn't come off as very knowledgeable.

    Andy is very good imo. He's spot on. I agree with him, and if Cronin doesn't pull of a miracle this summer, and Chauncey won't make huge improvement as a HC, FO has to face reality and Dame needs to be traded, even though it would hurt everybody.

    I would have preferred the New Zealander robot voice

    Was that an AI chat box? He could use the help.

    His facts weren't always correct.

    I'll just throw this out there, if Dame was compelled/bent on winning a championship regardless as to where, he would have asked out a number of years ago. As he has stated, its not the number 1 accomplishment/goal, but its something if done, he's willing to help do it here.

    He's got a sweet situation here, hell, he could run for Mayor/Gov and win. He's the biggest Star in Oregon, he loves the area and fans. His fam seems happy here.

    For the fans that think we are wasiting his career? I think he would disagree 100%, just look at what this 32 year old man has accomplished, if that's wasted, so be it.

    I believe Dame waisting his own prime he the one wants to stay his loyalty is getting in the way of having a chance to win a championship. But I don't see him winning in Portland because it's a team with a few young talent players but majority it's patch work to fill roster spots.
