Do we know for certain he followed him in the first place?
 
I know Dame personally welcomes everyone that joins the team. May be something said in private that Dame didn't like? From snooping through Sharpe's various social media profiles he's got some serious maturing to do as a person.

I feel like a teenager in overthinking this bullshit tbh. Maybe dame is just waiting for shaedon to follow him first. That said... It takes serious effort to deliberately unfollow someone lol.

Shaedon is 19. Prolly shouldnt worry too much if his support system is good.

Insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results. You're advocating for them to do the same thing they've been doing when Dame is at the tail end of his prime. For the umpteenth time, there is no quick fix available for this shitty roster. Those possibilities were looked into and passed on as unrealistic. Accept reality.

Exactly. If a team continues mortgaging the future constantly over time, the team becomes what the Trailblazers were last season, or the current New York Knicks, or Charlotte.

Hope this is the case. Don't really know anything about his family honestly. We knew immediately that Nas and Ant had great support systems.

Dame also unfollowed Ben Simmons in the last few months, lol.

Nope... not overthinking it. Clearly a deal is on the table to send Sharpe out of here, so Dame is just making that clean break.

Great to have you posting Travis....I'm a radio listening fan and have to say I think you've done a really good job stepping in for Wheels and I am a huge fan of Wheels....tough act to follow! Thanks for some great play by play game to game...hopefully this season coming up will be rich with new storylines and back stories to tap into. Go Blazers!
 
Blazers have never had press conferences on weekends have they? At least none that I recall

Dammit, you didn't need to do that. I was just giving my opinion on the post. Didn't mean for you to change it. My bad.

No no no sir. Your good. Not your bad! I went and reread it and agree it was too harsh and muddied up the point I was trying to make. It needed some cleanup in my opinion.
 
Maybe Dame asked Sharpe to go to the gym and box and Sharpe said no, so Dame unfriended him. Maybe right now Dame is saying trade him or I’m out of here. But everybody else saw Sharpe as a late first round pick and his value is lower than if we traded the pick so we have to take scraps.

Maybe there are Algerian pirates off the shores of Oregon waiting to storm the beaches and take over the State.
 
Maybe he's just waiting for Shaedon to get his upload_2022-6-25_9-32-36.png or this along with the Grant trade not being made official might mean we're blowing shit up and doing a youth rebuild because we got an offer we couldn't refuse for Dame... or anything in between.

They heard about one eyed Willy!
 
I'm not worried about his talent or his size, at all.
My question - and yes it's a question because I have no idea of the answer - how are his intangibles? If he works as hard as Dame, becomes a student of the game, and is a great teammate, he'll be a superstar. Are those things likely? No idea.

That could be pretty much any draft pick though.

It is a fair question. And a good reason in my mind why keeping Dame while going young is more important than trading him for
more young player (s) The coaches can only do so much. The young players need someone to lead them by example.
