Meeting between Dame and Cronin today

I think I saw a tweet that they were talking about #Scandalvol. They're both big Bravo fans.

 

This is one long meeting…

 

The dumbest are usually the loudest and they just say it over and over. I wouldn't care too much what a few idiots on a message board have to say. Probably just pretending to be Blazer fans because they have nothing better to do.

 

Would be nice

Eventually we will

 

There on the phone with Pat Riley.

 

They shut it down to have an asset to build a win-now team around Dame as Cronin made it sound like during the exit interview. Dame was confident in interviews the past couple months that the Blazers would pull something off. Then they draft his replacement.

I don't know how much I believe this so take it with a grain of salt or twenty, but it's possible that the Blazers front office believes Scoot is a better option for the team to build now and for the future than guys like Jaylen Brown. It seems truly possible that Portland never seriously pitched the 3rd pick for what was available and instead went after guys that weren't (Bam & Zion) so it could appear that they tried for Dame, solely because they think Scoot is THAT good. Not only does that feel over-optimistic, but it doesn't make sense for Dame and doesn't do right by him, and goes against everything Joe, Chauncey, and Dame said they wanted in their exit interviews (less youth, more veterans, and more size). The fact that his career here could end without Portland ever taking a swing because they found a shiny new PG feels so wrong to me. Dame leaving would be the front offices doing because this would push even the most loyal stars to their limits.

 

Get real. Maybe your homies believe that crap, but i work with the public, and no one is happy about the prospect of Dame leaving. He's loved here. He didn't start this. He wants legitiment help.

 

I don’t know what to say because I want to keep my response short.

 

Such bullshit. They literally just picked his replacement after shutting him down in order to tank. The Blazers could've drafted a player with more potential for team basketball(Amen) and not his replacement, but they wanted to appease the "bad basketball", "clout-chasing", "shiny things", "shitlib", "redditor" crowd.

Maybe they could repeat another season with Eubanks as a vital cog in shit basketball to show him how they really care. Fuck Cronin and fuck shit fans.

They are probably playing pool, drinking scotch, and smoking cigars. And laughing their asses off reading this thread.

 

Dame's agent being there makes it nothing close to perfectly normal.

 

Wow, that escalated quickly!

That said, I never heard anyone describe Amen as "transcendent." Maybe that's why they drafted Scoot over him, eh? If Miller was available, then we would have drafted him, and this discussion is probably moot (that means no longer relevant.)

 

Crap, I quoted the wrong post.

Time to put down the scotch.

But I'm keeping the cigar.

 

Scoot is also the cheaper option.... which seems to be a trend.

 

LMAO just when i thought your takes couldn't get any worse. Scoots team? Get a grip. You big mad.

 

We need two actual pt guards on this team and Dame is perfect to mentor Scoot through the duration of his career..when Scoot takes the lead..Scoot will extend Dame's career and save Dame's body from banging in the paint so much...it makes perfect sense...Ant needs to go period...he wasn't a great pt guard and not strong enough to play two guard and defend...Dame and Scoot will give you a lethal tag team of bench production and starters. I'm stoked to see it...Ant is too passive when Dame is on the court. Scoot is anything but passive.

 

Who needs real life when you got the internet.

 

They've been wearing out the ESPN trade machine, trying to find a deal to help the team.

 

Clearing the books for the sale to Phil.
