    That's always an option though. If he was set on asking out, he would have. The meeting tells me, he wants Cronin to convince him that there is still a vision. He just wants a path.

    Yeah, he wants a path to Miami… that’s what he met with Cronin to discuss

    That's what you want. Better quit with the trolling.

    I wouldn’t even know you existed if you didn’t respond to every post I make. Anyone can look up our post history if they want proof. You are obsessed… and Dame is going to Miami.

    I'm curious how the new CBA will change things. It would seem draft picks become more valuable, cap space because less valuable, trade exceptions can't be a game-changing amount. All these things will change the rebuilding process.

    True. Probably once next season when the Blazers play the heat.

    I wonder if Dame + Co and Cronin are having a slumber party tonight.

    Dame has said before (fairly recently) that if he could play with anyone else in the league he would want to play with… Does that mean Milwaukie would be his ideal destination if he doesn’t want to be here?

    I’d rather see Dame on the Bucks than many other teams and I could probably cheer for Dame and Giannis in the East.

    They probably have the worst assets to offer us.

    Doesn't fit his (reported) criteria of not wanting to be on a team that has 3 all-stars.

    If you take the teams with 2 all-stars and the ones that aren't contenders off the list, the list becomes really really small.

    Yeah, probably. But, that's not saying much.

    I like Amen a lot, but right now he is basically a taller Scoot. So wouldn't he also be considered Dame's replacement? He might end up as an SF, but not until he improves his shot. The smart move was to take Scoot because according to most reports, he provided the best chance for a trade. Did it happen? No. But until I hear a legitimate offer that was made for #3, Joe did exactly what I would have done to try to get Dame help. It is still June, we will see what happens. But as of now, I don't have a problem with his moves in the last month.
