At this point, the level of value coming back for CJ for me is almost irrelevant. I just don't want him in a Blazer uniform. Paid like a super #2 guy (or a good #1 guy) but continually disappears at critical times. Just want him gone. Trade him for HCP and a bowl of cheetos for all I care. Just want him gone.
How so? That quote and the song basically reinforces everything he represents. He's not giving up he's just waiting for the right opportunity.
“How long should I stay dedicated”, feels like a question someone would ask who is getting tired of being dedicated.
That is quite a line to choose. But like I said, it'd be totally off brand of him to bail before seeing changes.
But that's not the full quote. "How long til opportunity meet preparation”. He's doubling down on his beliefs. Also the song itself is just about dedication and unwavering. This is Dame in a nutshell. Any other star of the last decade would have bailed after the Pelicans series.
I would say Dame is the least of our concerns as far as his loyalty and determination to be with this franchise. His heart is still here. The other concerns which has already been said a million times is what happens with the rest of this team, the GM, the coach, CJ, Nurk etc. How do we build this thing around Dame and make a damn contender.
How long before he passes drexler in all time franchise scoring record? Until that is not broken he not going anywhere. No doubt the organization failed him terribly. Stotts being a coach for 9 years alone is criminal
Lol I can’t believe this shit. Sounds like he is going to bail on us and justify it with a four bar Friday rap.
It's baffling. I've never been a fan of the team who's top scorer and go-to-guy is the point guard. I know there's been exceptions but Steph Curry had superstars all around him and guys like Isiah Thomas had a killer defense including himself. Dame needs defenders and bruisers all around him I think because we aren't going to land any superstars in their prime any time soon.
Yo yo I took a lotta Portland’s money Now I finna move somewhere it’s sunny And the people aren’t so white and corny If letdowns were rings, I’d be Robert Horry
