SIGN DAME

[B-Roy]

DO IT

 

[Rastapopoulos]

WT actual F?

Did we start a trend with Ayton?

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Why? This makes our Jrue trade even more disappointing. Should have kept Simons or tried to buy him out. Then sign Dame as Scoots mentor even though Dame probably doesn't play next year.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Boy, apart from being a multi-millionaire sports idol, Dame's life has kind of sucked the past few years. Him and Oden can commiserate.

 

[Shaboid]

Sign! Him!

Jrue IS STILL A VERY GOOD PLAYER. AND HE'S SUPER-GOOD AT DEFENSE - you know, the thing we're making our whole team identity???

 

[BigGameDamian]

Dame can take his talents to Miami now.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

WOW

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I imagine Dame wants to lick his wounds for a bit. I doubt he'll sign with anybody until he's rehabbed a bit and then pick and choose. He'll go to a contender, probably next season (that is, 2026-7).

 

[andalusian]

No need to sign him. He can rehab in Portland for free and be around the team without putting any stress on the cap...

 

[B-Roy]

Just have him sit on the bench and rehab.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

WHO'S NEXT? It would be HILARIOUS if it was LeBron.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Trade Dame for Jrue and then get Dame back two years later!? Who would have thought. Just shows you how crazy injuries can be.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Apparently the Bucks are chasing Myles Turner. Ayton will be a Pacers?

If we dont sign Dame back this is criminal injustice.

 

[B-Roy]

They owe him. Just give him some money to sit on the bench.

 

[RR7]

Owe him? We don't owe him shit. We sent him to play with a top 3 player in the league to try to win a title.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Just freaking sign him. Make it a 2 year minimum deal with a player option on the 2nd year.

Cover his medical and rehab. Get him around the team.

 

[blazedanugz]

Holy balls cried the queen.
Would be great to have him back even while he’s rehabbing this year

 

[Rastapopoulos]

If we dont sign Dame back this is criminal injustice.

Or, y'know, HIS OWN CHOICE.

Ever think that Dame doesn't WANT to come back? Some baggage back here, you know.

That was my first thought as well. If his rehab is quicker than expected, he could join a team at the playoff eligibility deadline for the minimum. If not, then pick a team next summer.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Lost in all this is that THE PACERS JUST GOT FUCKED. Maybe Ayton ends up a Pacer?

 

[RR7]

Lost in all this is that THE PACERS JUST GOT FUCKED.

And N.O. gave them their pick next ear back for pick 23!

 

[Cugel]

Their fans must be devastated. Myles was great. Ayton?

He is living in Portland and is rehabbing in Tigard.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

God almighty, I forgot that. Joe Dumars has done more damage to that franchise in less time than any GM in history.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

He is living in Portland and is rehabbing in Tigard.

Huh. Still, I maintain that he will want one last shot at contending, and it won't be with us. Houston is REALLY short on guards right now....

 

[Rastapopoulos]

So much for my dream that the Bucks would take Jerami in part to make Dame happy. I guess we truly are stuck with him. Unless we buy HIM out too!

 

[Cugel]

I know Dumars is clearly a brick short of a load.
