Most important part.

 

[illmatic99]

Dame ain't going anywhere. He is so bought in. And this is Cronin's biggest achievement.

"I love Joe Ingles for us."

this is wild

 

[Scalma]

He’s talking about Grant 100%. Also cool that he keeps mentioning Ingles. He at least sees the value in him as a player.

Dame: HoF player, garbage GM.

Ed: HoF poster, SEA trash.

Man Dame is so all in on Portland he isn’t going anywhere anytime soon

He owns this city, he could could be the next Kevin Johnson and become Mayor someday.

 

[handiman]

He owns this city, he could could be the next Kevin Johnson and become Mayor someday.

So, he'll be the mayor somewhere other than where he played professionally?

Maybe mayor of West Linn, Portland or even Oakland. KJ was born in Sac.

 

[handiman]

And attended Cal, if I remember right. So, if you're using KJ as a parallel for Dame, Oakland or somewhere in Utah would be his likely political destinations, not anywhere in Oregon.

The only parallel I used (go read my post) was maybe like Johnson he could become mayor. Maybe he becomes a member of congress like other hoopers have?

That might be what you meant, but it's not what you expressed... "He owns this city, he could could be the next Kevin Johnson and become Mayor someday." That strongly implies Mayor of Portland, by beginning it with owning this city.

Not a big deal either way. I just don't get people being unwilling to admit they misspoke.

 

[illmatic99]

And of course the producers from the same show/podcast want to create more controversy now with this headline....



so now when Portland makes a pick, they can use this garbage to try to push him out again.

Let's not forget that in this same clip, Dame is talking about Phoenix landing Ayton in the draft to add to their core on their rebuild.

Jazz have sucked since he got hurt.

He didn’t misspeak. I knew what he meant. You did too.

Clearly, you don't understand the concept of misspeaking. Knowing what someone meant has nothing to do with it.

The Joe Ingles part is very intriguing for sure. I honestly did not think he was going to be staying but even an interview Joe gave was a different story.

the issue is...when will he be ready?

so then, how realistic would it be to expect 35 year old Ingles to return-to-sport less than a year after his surgery? A year would be around the first week of next February

Everything from the team, from the moment the trade was announced, has suggested the same thing; they want him back next season. It's only the ones that aren't involved with the team, or plugged in that suggested otherwise. So it really shouldn't be a surprise. Seems the feeling is mutual with Ingles himself. We'll see how he recovers, but in theory he's a great fit. Knows how to play with and take the pressure off a scoring guard, plus shooter, and a good team defender. We also need more "pests" like him that'll aggravate the fuck out of other teams players.

Hence why I said I did not think he would be sticking around but I guess the team would know more about that than I.
