I believe some of it

but there is obvious and long-simmering animus between Quick and Dame. And the way Quick constructed the narrative that Dame was leading Olshey around was not believable at all to me. Slanted agenda. Not from what I saw of Olshey. He did what he wanted and one thing he didn't care about was putting a roster around Dame that would support his strengths and cover his weaknesses

My gut is that there's a layer of truth to all of what he wrote, but Quick put his own spin on it.

I've always loved Dame (as a player) silly. I've been realistic about his timeline not matching Portland's, while you're just an overheated fanboy yelling at everyone. He got you hook line and sinker with the loyalty crap and now you're going through the various stages of loss while I lost my S years ago as they squandered opportunities yearly in his prime.

Both of you chill. Jump at the situation, not at each other.

When Dame said to bring back and pay Jerami Grant to keep him happy, I'd say that was misleading. When he said he wanted to bring free agents to Portland ...that was misleading...when he signed a super max to stay in Portland and keep the brand strong...that was misleading...other than that...I hope we get a franchise brand's worth of assets for trading you years before your contract was honored to conclusion. Your decision broke the hearts of most Blazer fans ...respect...pass it on...the letter "O" just became the letters "ME"..you will not find greater love or greener grass outside RipCity

You know it's bad when riverman turns on Dame.
 
OH YOU TAKE THE HIGH ROAD
AND ILL TAKE THE LOW ROAD
AND ILL BE IN SCOTLAND
AFORE YEEEEEE

Whoops, wrong thread…
 
Maybe Dame's tweet is code ... maybe when he talks about the "high road," it means he wants traded to Denver ....

Which part frustrates you the most? Asking for a trade or demanding a location?

Both given that we were letting the ink dry on Grant's contract when it happened. If you're going to move on...do it with one year left on your deal or when you're a free agent or don't take the big money and bail. His social media BS before the draft cost us a chance to move Ant and get an impact player in my view. Joe had zero leverage..Dame took it all.
 
Ironically now all the guys we wanted for Ant and 3 in trades we can get easily with Dame..

I didn't even know Walter Cronkite ever met LeBron did something interesting happen?

It was a whole space-time continuum thing. LeBron was going to demand the Cavs trade the No. 1 pick to the Lakers when he was in high school, but Walter Cronkite traveled through time to convince him it would be a mistake. The rest is history. Bill and Ted were there, too. So was Death.
 
Of course some fans are going to be upset that he's asking for a trade. I've been actually hoping this would happen though.

To me it's more of an insult if we were a good team and he just wanted out to flee to a big market or whatever, but we're obviously staring down the barrel of a rebuild.

Don't forget Abraham Lincoln with his very special message to the class of San Dimas High School of, "Be excellent to each other. And... PARTY ON DUDES." I think we all could take heed of that speech in times like these.

We were ride or die with you Dame and you turncoated just like LMA. You said you wanted to win here. You said (or at least something to the affect of) you'd rather finish your career here than to win elsewhere. You said you didn't want to join a super team and do it easy. You listened to talking heads and forced your way out. You made it public that it's only Miami, handcuffing us. You screwed us on the way out.

And, I'm really trying to take the high road on this myself.

This organization misled him. He wanted to win here, this organization said they'd be "super aggressive" in building a winner around him, yet didn't do anything to win with him here and drafted his replacement instead. This organization was the one that turncoated.

That's like the Cronkite-LBJ moment.

I was thinking more of a "at long last sir, have you no sense of decency" moment by Joseph Welch.

Enough is enough. If I was him, I would go 3y ago. Being aggressive and big moves is what I hear for 7years now. Every f time we wait for big splash all summer and "it wasn't there", so we wait for February and it is not there, we have to wait for opportunities in off-season. Year after year it': "Listen... Look..." All we got is Hezonia and D.Jones Jr. Toliver is our big splash every time. Of course I don't forget about Covington and Powell. For their reasons they refused to play basketball for this organization. And after all this years, they draft Scoot and what they say? "It wasn't there."
He would be stupid not to demand a trade. I have my issues with him as well, but he gave FO a chance to make this splash again and again and this year they fucked him for goodbye.

It’s not exactly the same, but Lillard’s request to join Miami sure reminds me of Durant going to the Warriors after they won a title. You can’t attack the ring chasers and then become a ring chaser yourself.

That's the thing that rubs a bit wrong. He talked about the grind, talked about rather being here than going to a be part of a super team. Not sure there would be a bigger 'Big 3' than Bam/Butler/Dame. They would be a favorite to win the title going into the season. That is not much of a grind. I don't blame him for wanting a chance to win, but this goes against a lot of what he has said/tweeted.
