Joe: I’ll do what’s best for the team

[KingSpeed]

Alright Joe! Get the best deal!!

 

[Fitz303]

Good. That's what he should be doing. He's the GM of the Blazers. He's not Dame's agent. His priority should be to make the Blazers better long term

 

[riverman]

I was glad to read this earlier...I don't want a couple of Nick Stauskas and a contenders draft picks for Dame...I want a boatload of assets back for that max deal we gave Dame...I want a Dame for Wemby or Dame for Amen Thompson and players and picks...get the future out of this trade

 

[KingSpeed]

Yep. It’s music to my ears.

Hell yeah

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

He can say whatever. I ultimately believe we’ll be feeling like we got pennies on the dollar.

 

[Propagandist]

Alright Joe! Get the best deal!!

Yeah, like he’s done so far. Gtfo

 

[Sloth]

I'll hold my applause in until he actually does something worth cheering for.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Hope springs a turtle

 

[maxiep]

Let's hope his actions on this matter match his words.

 

[blazerfan11]

Cronin has no time pressure in this situation.
Dame is the one whose clock is ticking.

 

[BonesJones]

So we trade Norm, CJ, and GP2 where they want to go and that's fine, but now it'd be bad to do the same for Dame?

 

[Ripcity4life77]

If you really believe in Cronin then I have Oceanfront property in Iowa to sell ya -- LOL

Cronin and Jody are lying sacks of crap until they prove to me otherwise so screw them both.

Durant got traded where he wanted to go. Brooklyn was compensated. Fair enough.

Are you an actual Blazers fan? Or just trying to lick Dame's balls?

 

[Pinwheel1]

So we trade Norm, CJ, and GP2 where they want to go and that's fine, but now it'd be bad to do the same for Dame?

Agreed. Especially since Dame is in demand and Norm, CJ, and GP2 were not.

 

[Chris Craig]

So we trade Norm, CJ, and GP2 where they want to go and that's fine, but now it'd be bad to do the same for Dame?

If we got garbage back yes. Tired of doing other teams favors.

 

[KingSpeed]

Yea

 

[Labinot41]

The best for the franchise is to go full rebuild for 2-3 more years and take as many picks as possible from the Dame trade. Start fresh, no Towns or whatever and build a great team.

I don't believe in Cronin at all. But I love where the Trail Blazers are right now. Wish Dame would have stayed.

They drafted Scoot instead of trading the pick for OG.

 

[bemac]

He's a professional who seems passionate about his work and is surrounded by other qualified professionals who are passionate about their work. Dame has put him in a shit situation with the demand to be traded to Miami, which could lead to a less than desirable outcome, but no reason to think the outcome will be anything but the best available. The future is bright so enjoy the ride.

I'd compensate Dame by trading him to his other "O" place...Utah...he went to Ogden for school...Ainge has a ton of picks and Markannen is better than Herro in my view

I don't agree. Scoot is ready to go right now. Sharpe should be very good in 1-2 seasons.
Old guys are fine amongst the ones that aren't as advanced.

 

[Tince]

Those more likely to defend him will probably say he did.

Those who don't like him will come up with a hypothetical trade that we'll never know was on the table.

We'll never know if Cronin got the best available deal.

 

[Strenuus]

Well the value of those 3 is about 50% of what dames value is (and probably less), and it's going to define our future. As a franchise we can't send him to where he wants if where he wants isn't giving us a fair offer with lots of assets.

 

[Strenuus]

They drafted Scoot instead of trading the pick for OG.

And THANK GOD.

 

[Ripcity4life77]

bemac -- if your being forced to write this load of bullshit put two periods at the end of your last sentence and we will find a way to rescue you cause no one can be this brainwashed to believe that horse crap Cronin said earlier.

 

[Chris Craig]

They drafted Scoot instead of trading the pick for OG.

He better be good.

those guys were let know they were being traded ....different from Dame demanding a trade after giving his buddy a big contract with boatload of money to entice him to stay.
