Exclusive Vote - Would you prefer Brandon Miller or Amen Thompson over Scoot?

Uh, what? I must be out of the loop. What kind of marital problems is Lillard having?

 

Haynes said he's losing his wife..others mentioned he'd been disconnected from her social media as far back as last December...it was talked about in a podcast where Haynes was interviewed...he mentioned the tax advantage in Florida if your'e about to lose half your money. Other than that I know nothing about it...Chauncey also said Dame's reasons were not all basketball related. I hope he salvages his marriage personally for the sake of those 3 young kids. I don't know anything more than that outline of the situation. I was surprised Haynes would bring it up at all. It's been mentioned on the boards here several times. At any rate...seems he's going through a dark patch and I hope he turns it around. Damee always said the women in his family kept him from getting too full of himself....maybe he slipped up

 

Scoot!
All day every day. He’s not only dad dude, he’s a winner.

“Mama, there goes that man”

 

Anthony Black is also a bad MFER

 

Don't think Florida lower tax will help with divorce settlement - settlement asset splits aren't really taxable. It will help that home games (50%) of his salary won't have a ~10% Oregon tax so yeah he'll save about 5% of his NBA contract. But he can deduct alimony and spouse pay tax on it so would actually be less than 5% maybe 4% savings. Its certainly something but its not as big an impact as often gets portrayed in these tax vs no state tax examples.

Yeah I don't wish a divorce on anyone; regardless of faults or the situation thats got to be brutal to go through - especially with kids.

 

I have no idea but seeing as Dame didn't want a no trade clause I'd guess he didn't get a pre-nup agreement either.

 

Wow. First I’m hearing of any of this. Thanks for the information. If true, it’s a shame for his kids.

 

Yeah one reason I'm not shaming Dame too much, I don't think we know all the details of his personal life or private conversations he had with Blazers management.

 

Dame just posted a nice Mother’s Day post about her couple months ago that had no indication of divorce

 

did you expect it to?

 

Yea

 

@riverman haynes did not mention a single thing about Dame getting divorced. Neither did Chauncey. Billups only said he's thinking of things other than basketball also. No one in the media has said anything specific about Dame's family. This is simply speculation and assumptions from this forum.

Come on man. Quit making up things.

 

You're welcome to believe what you believe...I heard it from Haynes in an interview...I didn't make it up although Haynes might have. It is speculation which is sort of what everything is from someone who doesn't know Dame...Hayes I believe does. You're wrong about it being made up by me. Other than that you're welcome to your own media feed. As for Haynes..I hope he's lying about it for the sake of Dame's family and kids.

 

Gimme a link to where Haynes said this.

 

He won’t

 

I'm looking for it....I think it's been pulled..it was two media guys interviewing Haynes while he was shopping in Sacramento...I doubt Dame was happy if he heard it. It shocked me as I had no idea. When Dame demanded a trade I heard the interview.....today I'm having trouble finding it...I'm sure Dame had it pulled down. Maybe Dame has fixed his issue. I did find a headline about his wife having a boyfriend but didn't bother to read it ...I hope as I've said..that it's being fixed for his families sake. At any rate....it wasn't fabricated by me. I thought it was worth mentioning. I listened to it on youtube but the same search I did before is not showing it today

 

Who in their right mind can honestly say they would pick injury-prone guards over Brandon Miller?

 

He never said it. You might have heard from someone else. Not Haynes.

 

It was Haynes...and he did say it. Believe what you like. I don't make up gossip. Haynes might though.

 

Someone here said that they heard it from a friend who is a member of the local media. So, I have no confirmation, but it makes sense with Dame turning 180 degrees. What other reasonable explanation is there?
