    I agree with Dame on one thing.

    This is, one weird azz era.

    Yes, it was just a point about this bad team in general. Had high hopes for him but he too contributed to the team being bad.

    Ime won’t put up with the laissez faire attitude of the players.

    Smells like they will pick Scoot.

    Do you know why there are so many ellipses in the quote? Because they're taking the quote out of context to make it seem like he wants to leave when in the interview he was clearly saying he wanted to stay.

    It is feeling like Mr. "I'm loyal" and "I don't care about championships" is chomping at the bit to chase a championship
    and get the f**k out of Portland

    Seems crazy that he'd be interested in Brooklyn. They're not a Dame away from contending for titles when you consider they have to trade some of their role players just to match salaries.

    But, I don't see anyone beating the Nets offer of picks if Dame is willing to go there.

    Miami would the most sense basketball wise.

    I wouldn't mind seeing what Dame could do alongside Jimmy and Bam in Miami. Island of misfit toys. Last shot at a title for two future HoFers. Gets him out of the West and keeps the Nets down for us.

    Pretty much a much needed divorce for both, just slowly and gradually.

    It is basically Harden 2.0 without the honey buns, the Lil Baby parties.

    Hey, it is Oregon.

    And much more passive aggression.

    Looks like he’s just trying to force his team to trade that pick for some immediate help.

    Portland has more strip clubs per capita than Houston, the most in the nation.

    The Nets will need a 3rd team I think. The picks they have suck. Houston needs to get on this somehow. Maybe get him to another team like Miami or the Bucks. Gonna go hit Fanspo to see what silly dream trade I can come up with.

    that's taking on A LOT of basically dead money and giving up a lot to get scoot, even i'm not sure it's worth it

    Scoot and Herro. It really comes down to whether Scoot is generational like they were saying all last year. Also, Lowry solves your vet PG thing for one year. It is a lot to give up, but we really don’t need the Brooklyn pick next year and its top 5 protected. Herro has a decent contract.

    Herro is terrible money, that's at least 50-60 mil in the negative. We should be getting at least 1, probably 2 1sts to take on herro
