    As @wizenheimer pointed out already. Dame went to the playoffs quite a bit. Not many Lotto teams there until this shitshow started.

    Dame had some of his greatest moments in the playoffs. When these guys have got to the playoffs we can come back and revisit this conversation.
    My bet is that is still a couple years away.

    Why exactly are we having a conversation about someone who has proven success in the playoffs comparing that to 2 people who havent even had a chance to get there? Seems rather unfair to take a negative stance on players in that position. Whether you meant to or not, it's silly to take sides until they make it, no? And yes, you did take a side lol. Which is the weirdest part of it all.

    Plenty of room to think your massively dismissing Scoot and Sharpe upside; while still believing the Blazers have done a shit job managing this franchise for many years.

    It almost seems like your trying to discount Scoot Sharpe to prove the incompetency of the Blazers.

    That's just not needed. Blazers have made many terrible decisions lately and have terrible ownership regardless of how great Scoot and Sharpe are.

    Even if both Scoot and Sharpe become stars, it doesn't mean the Blazers are going to contend or anything. It does probably give evidence that the decision to build around those two and not sell the farm for a doomed to fail attempt of trying to contend with Lillard when it's far too late would've been a colossal mistake though.

    Partially agreed. A 33 year old that did that for the Blazers the last two years made for a very boring team to root for.

    If it's a 19 and 20 year old that have potential for many more improvements - I'll be much more optimistic.

    Portland can pay them the most. They'll take the money to stay.

    You say this like they’ve never played basketball. Scoot’s been playing pro basketball the last two years. I trust the scouts.

    According to you Steph Curry is trash so I'm not sure what you are asking here?

    I really hope the league blocks any trade with Miami for Dame now...we can get a lot more for him from hungrier franchises. Hell Cuban might trade Luka for Dame..stranger things have happened...I sure didn't see Kawhi going to Toronto after demanding to go to LA first....Cuban swings for the fences. He gave Wes Mathews fresh off an Achilles 80 million or so...This is going to be an interesting summer leading into training camp. Tyler Herro is the odd man out..I can't imagine him wanting to stay in Miami now

    Perhaps you're just very bad at evaluating talent. Nobody's perfect.

    Perhaps Not. Very few are as close to perfection as me but you are correct nobody is perfect.
