    Sly I need you to text Dwight and tell him we are renting out El Goucho so we can try to recruit Travis away from the blazers subreddit.

    Jaynes reading tweets should be a weekly segment.

    GiantBalls6969 says Shaedon Sharpe is now 6’8. Must be true because I don’t think someone named GiantBalls would lie about something like that.

    Yeah, that's where I'm at as well.

    I think Cronin has done well adding talent to this roster in such a short time. And Dame has done his part to help with that. I think we can win with Dame. I think we have the assets to bring back a more balanced roster that is more talented than Dame has ever had here.

    But teams are going to have to want to play ball as well.

    I've got no hard feelings if that doesn't happen. But I prefer Dame retire a Blazer.

    LOL! It was two hours ago, so I've forgotten. The important thing is it was thrown by the letter "O"!

    A baseball question? This is obviously a fake HCP.

    Good or bad press at least the Blazers are being talked about. Been kind of nice to hear Blazers in the news when listening to national media.

    Btw I think Dames being patient because they know teams are scared to death of the new CBA so teams are going to start dumping large contracts (star or aging star contracts).

    kind of surprised the players union agreed to the new CBA seems like it’s going to screw a lot of older players

    It seems like they should just have a hard cap.

    It seems like a decent thought is that you get a cap hit discount for home-grown stars. For instance, Jaylen Brown can still get his 5/295M (or whatever it ends up being), but BOS gets a 30% cap discount for having 2 home-growns on max contracts.

    (I'm not going to touch the aspects that "any draft or restriction on player movement reduces their free-market opportunities", because that ship has sailed in the current philosophies of revenue sharing)
