    Do you realize that this is a contradiction...?

    Of course it's not, but there's no point in wallowing in the mistakes of 2016. I've accepted it. You can only look forward.

    I'm just talking about wasting Dame's prime here. And Houston had the best record in the NBA last season and Morey has repeatedly worked to make that team better. Not say draft 19 year olds and sign castoffs.

    We were the only team willing to offer Cousins more than the full-MLE. He's tight with Dame. No reason not to believe it.

    Here's where I'm coming from.

    Almost no matter what the team could do this summer, they weren't realistically competing for a title. Houston did sign a cast-off (Anthony).

    Also, Simons might have been a steal at 24, considering he was projected to be a lotto pick in 19 I believe. So drafting him might be a "holy crap, that was an awesome pick!". But it could also be a pick that we look back and go "I see Taurean Green made a comeback in the NBA"

    There’s every reason to not believe it.

    The contract would’ve been the first thing discussed.

    Prime is different for 4 year college players than one and done guys...it's not the years...it's the miles...enter at 18 like Kobe and at 28 you've played 10 seasons...it's all relative...both CJ and Dame were 4 year guys in college.

    I think about it as if a college season is half an NBA season. So Kobe at 28 had 10 seasons, while Dame has had 7.5 seasons (he missed the majority of a college season).

    CJ didn't play much his first two seasons as a Blazer and had injuries in college as well
