This is the news I’ve been waiting for

 

[SheedSoNasty]

How much will people lose their minds if we lose to New Zealand?

 

[Natebishop3]

How much will people lose their minds if we lose to New Zealand?

I would be shocked.... but I really wouldn't care. I don't think we're going to be very good.

 

[Duckhook]

Will this be enough time to get KAT, Jaylen Brown, Tyler Herro, and Triple J up to speed on our half court offense?

 

[Pinwheel1]

Two games against Phoenix. Hopefully, we do not play them in the first week of the season as well. I dislike when they do that.

 

[THE HCP]

How much will people lose their minds if we lose to New Zealand?

Only the ones thinking we’ll win 55 games this season.

 

[THE HCP]

I was just on a street and heard word a couple of these will be broadcasted.

 

[Sloth]

Easy 4-0 incoming.

How dare you son! I've always predicted 54 wins...my lucky number...been the same for decades!

 

[riverman]

How weird will it be when at home Mark Mason will announce the starting lineup with "please welcome from Weber State wearing the letter "o", Damian Lillard
and then after that "Now Moda Center it's time to get on your feet and make some noise! Wearing the letters 00 and coming from the G league Ignite, welcome your new franchise leader, Scoot Henderson!"

Do they have to be?

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Thank God! Something new and non Dame related to discuss!!!

that game against Ruperts old team will be a must see!

okay. Next season! Im starting to feel the excitement trickle back in my bones!!!!

So. Do we win a preseason game? Lol

I think we're going to win more games than anyone is predicting next season including pre season.

Enough to be a playin team? You are not in the 55 win and over camp are you?

I was born in 54...my lucky number...my favorite strat...I predict 54 wins every season...it's a tradition. I don't go into a season predicting failure or tanking or any of that...we're young and the superstars are a year older. My win predictions are just based upon hope..not Vegas gambling odds. I'd be a terrible gambler

 

[BBert]

Come on preseason championship!

We should get a bank of 100-level tickets and have a get together.

"Scoooooooot Henderson!"

[blazerfan11]

Exactly the guy I was thinking of.

"Now Moda Center it's time to get on your feet and make some noise! Wearing the letters 00 and coming from the G league Ignite, welcome your new franchise leader,
Scooooooooooooooot
Henderrrrrrrrrrssssson!"

That’s right. You've said that before.

for a midseason game or the preseason game Rupert os going to ball out in? Lol
But I'm down either way!!

That's what you think...

Really depends on what we get in exchange for Dame. Here, check out this trade idea...

Hahaha!

Thanks alot for bringing it to fruition for others to take the baton and run with it!

As soon as i typed that i was thinking to myself, yeah right. This will morph into 50 pages of “will Dame be on the roster come the first preseason game?”
Lol
