I might get ignored by a lot of people for this but I don't trust people who loudly proclaim they are something; it usually means they're projecting. Dame talks about loyalty very loudly and very proudly, but I personally feel like he's always been about Dame.

I am all about me and my family and I hope you are with you and yours. Dame doesn’t owe anything to anybody that isn’t his family. I know this dude personally and can tell you he is one of the realest I’ve ever met. Quality dude who we should all root for.
 
I am glad to see the permanent end of the Dame-CJ-Simons backcourt era. I hated it.
It's finally over. Just in time for the Shaedon Sharpe-Scoot Henderson era to begin.

I don't get all the drama here. Blazers were going nowhere and Dame was going nowhere. Now Blazers can get more youngs to play with Scoot and Shae.
I am exited to see, how Damian will do. If it is Miami it will be all fun to see him and Butler on a mission. Fantastic stuff for basketball.
I am exited to see young Blazers flying high.

Where is the drama? I don't see it.
 
Embarrassing takes on twitter. Insulting member of the Blazers staff. Keep on going the good work.

You could gained views by being analytical or clever as well. You decided to go the Stephen A Smith path and scream your anger. Good for you. Not my kind of content. Hope some other find this interesting or at least entertaining.
 
Events like this crack me up. It magnifies those out there that actually think they know what’s going on. Like they “hear” stuff” that members on this board don’t. Get the fuck outta here with that shit. I don’t follow him, but saw one of the “podcast guys” on twitter absolute lose his mind cussing out the Blazers staff and owners. Really? That’s the way to do it FAMS.
 
I wonder if we're going to get any additional bits of information from "sources" in the coming days/weeks that paint Cronin/the FO in a negative light.
Some parts of this whole thing have given me the feeling that Dame is maybe actually pissed and not just "ready to move on."

Saw the same bullshit. How can he hope to have some credibility acting like this?

It stings to lose him. You're right, he owes little to us. However, what he does owe is to go where he's traded. Calling his destination is now too late. He signed his contract. We didn't force him or fool him. If he wanted Miami, he could have taken his talents to South Beach as a free agent.

The Blazers have to be loyal to their family. The Blazers don't have to explain to him where they're sending him or why. They have paid him handsomely. They upheld their end of the deal as an employer.

The drama comes from not asking out, but asking out to a specific destination. The former is fine; the latter is no bueno.

Let his agent work with Pat and find 3, 4 or even 5 teams to make this trade good for Blazers and it is all good.

(If it's this shhh trade around Herro and Lowry it will be grande no bueno)

Yep. It's not on us to take pennies on the dollar (or Dolla in this case). It's on the Heat to make the most compelling offer. Time is on our side. We're not expected to win. The clock is ticking on Dame Time. Miami is in win now mode. The pressure is on their side.

“We’ve gained 300 subs the past 2 days”. Pompous was definitely the right word. And who’s “we”!? Eric is the only reason “your subs” are tuning in.

Yeah, I'm not responsible for any of our success and I don't work my ass off for any of that. Anything else you want to say to tear me down?
 
Crazy how a lot of you want to fuck Dame over in a trade and completely ignore what he wants. After all he's done for this fucking poverty franchise you side with the awful front office and ownership who fucked him times and times again.

Because a lot of people here are Blazers fans first. The goal should always be about making the Blazers team, and the 15 guys who are on that roster, better. I don't think many people here have ill will towards Dame, or "want to fuck Dame over". They want what's best for the franchise. That should never change.

The Blazers gave Dame almost a half a billion dollars to play basketball. If you're going to ask out a year after after signing that latest huge contract, that no other team could give you, you don't necessarily get to choose where the team trades you. maybe should have thought about that before you took all the money you could get from Portland. I don't fault him for taking the money either. Just don't expect to get to run the franchise on your exit too. This team is more than one player.

Joe Snake Cronin drove Dame out of town because he wanted to go young but didn't have the balls to say it and wanted it to come from Dame to save face, don't get that backwards.

Cronin has handled this situation horribly and him driving away a guy like Dame and then giving a quote like Dame is the bad guy when hes as quality as they come is filthy work.

What does that have to do with anything that my previous post said?

And honestly, you may even be right. I don't think that's true at all, personally. But maybe he wanted to go young all along. That doesn't change anything in my previous post though. The job is to make Portland better.

The biggest part of this trade process is going to be a war of leaks in the media. My fear is the Blazers aren't prepared for the national onslaught. We're viewed nationally as a farm team that should just roll over for a glamour franchise. It's our time to show we won't be treated as a second class team.

very well said, no hate or wanting to F him over, if he wants out fine but Portland is entitled to try to find the best deal it can for the team's future. If he limits us to one team by demanding Miami (have not seen that confirmed yet) then our chance of getting a good/fair deals diminish by a good bit, so I am not in favor of that. If he's reasonable and says he's happy going to some other teams then I'm good with that, he does not have a no trade clause but if he's reasonable about going to some different teams I think Portland can and will be reasonable about trying to accomodate that.

You sure you want to face him 4-5 times a year? id find an eastern conference suitor. Period.

I don't care if it's east or west. Give us one extra draft pick and I'm trading him to the west.

Plus what if his new team trades him? Blazers could trade him East and he's back in the west in 6 months.

Hell it might even be fun to play him. It's a game people.
