Nobody would ever say to not listen to offers. You can always counter with somebody else. But if you say you ARE going to listen, that sets the wrong precedent.
And Quick just said we should look at all options. Literally nothing wrong with that.
Comes down to running a business like a business or being emotional about it. It’s a business. A big enough business that Damian is on board with making $35,000,000 a year or whatever he makes. Goes both ways.
Yeah, I don't care about Quick, one way or the other. If Quick pissed Dame off that's his own stupidity.
Do you have a relationship with Dame? Has he ever granted you an interview? Have you called his cell and had him return your call?
If you are going to pay a franchise player an obscene amount it's good to know he's investing almost all of it in Oregon businesses and setting his family members up in Oregon businesses and homes...as opposed to flying back to Miami or LA every offseason and spending that money out of state....that's valuable in my view...it tells a lot about a player when they are all in instead of having one foot out the door. We are very lucky to have drafted this guy
Or Lillard being overtly sensitive based on this last summer.
Dame still has a number of good years left and if he needs surgery, get it done and come back stronger.
Today Jody sold Pauls Beverly Hills 120 acre plot for 65 million and not long ago sold his yacht for 265 million......I think business is going well for Jody and Dame's paycheck is a wise business investment in her view. I just think people think loyalty is a bad business practice.....but it's not.
I don't care about that either. He's had a tough time and this team has let him down. He has every right to pissy. I'd be more concerned if he weren't.
he hung a banner for them a week shy of his 33rd birthday. You'd have traded him off for assets 2 years prior to them getting that ring if it was up to you.
Tim and Dirk are better than Dame. They also both won titles for their franchises. If we had the right pieces around Dame to be a contender, all is good. But we aren't close at all.
We finally got rid of our shit GM. I want to add better pieces around him. My hope is to try that approach, and not move this Dame for the potential of Dame with better pieces in the future.
The 4 seasons before the title run, they won 1 series. And with him aging, everyone here would have been proclaiming that we peaked, and it was the time to sell off.
It sure can be.
Tim and Dirk had more help....Jason Kidd was Dirk's pt guard...Jason Terry the 6 man.....Manu and Parker were with Tim and they were better teams.....hey....Terry Stotts designed the Mavs playoff run offensive success ....gotta love that! To me no way Dirk on his own with Dame's roster has a better season than Dame ...Dame has way more skills than Dirk...Dirk also played zero D...he was just a Reggie Miller type scorer really but they made it work
