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

It was 100% forum speculation. Could be true. Could be false. But Haynes never said it.

 

he did but you can speculate he didn't....choices. You're speculating in finalities. I've said what I heard about this issue but I'm done with it now.

 

Just fyi... i unfortunately have hate listened to every Haynes podcast. Why are you insisting on sticking to this nonsense of all things?

 

This wasn't Hayne's podcast...he was a guest..it's a topic of controversy...I don't have any agenda or reason to defend Haynes or Dame either way. You seem to but the story isn't about me.

 

And yet you are unable to provide any link or proof. Got it. It's fine if you say it's speculation, but you are making it out to be definitive, when it's anything but. You even made a leap in saying Billups said it too while he said nothing of the sort.

 

Billups said Dame's choice was not necessarily about basketball. Don't tell me you missed that interview? Chauncey doesn't give details about these things.

 

And you made that leap to "dame losing his wife."

 

No...Haynes did. Stop making this my story...I'm just a messenger.

 

Lol ok. And at a random interview for which you dont have a link. Noted.

This is like pulling teeth.

 

It's a sports conversation....pretty simple stuff. Spare me the condescending personal stuff and we're good. I actually tried to find the link for you....I'm convinced it's been pulled.

 

I won't speculate on Dame's marriage, but the most reasonable explanation for Dame going from 11 years of loyalty to the Blazers, and Portland, to this 'scorched-earth-agent-torpedoes-Blazer-leverage-Miami-or-bust-no-compromise' is Dame thinking he was lied to and feeling betrayed

 

And to further that line of thinking, I'm wondering if he had a handshake agreement with Cronin to send him to his destination of choice if the rebuild did not manifest in a yr.

 

I believe that Riverman is talking about this interview that Haynes did with Dwight and Chad before the draft. I remember listening to it when they did that interview and he was in Sacramento at his hair salon or something. But I don't hear anything about Dame really.

I also remember listening to another pod, and I can't remember who it was..... it was the one where they asked him if Boston was an option and he was like "nooooooo." I have listened to way too many podcasts in the past 3 or 4 weeks.

 

I can't find the podcast where Haynes talks about Dame not wanting to go to Boston. I don't think it's on his own podcast.

 

It was the on the Dan Patrick show.

 

Yeah, I was just looking through Dan Patrick's shows trying to find it. Thanks.

But yeah... I still think the one that Riverman is thinking of was the interview with Chad and Dwight.

 

If so, then fine. But i find it highly unlikely that Haynes would air out personal stuff like that on a radio show.

 

I didn't hear anything like what Riverman said. So I don't know.

 

your hearing things perhaps lol

 

Bit freaking early to ask this question isn't it?

But for shits and giggles, I will say...no I do not.
