I don't think they would have traded this year's pick.
4,5,6,7,8, it don't matter.
Dame was already outta here, and Portland got dang lucky drafting Scoot.
 


what'd Yoda say ??
Do or do not, there is no "try".
 
@RonBrewer @riverman @Strenuus ...appreciate the kind words. @Strenuus , I put in a good word about your producing from back then because neither @Natebishop3 or I are technically proficient. Trying to work in some graphics, keep it a little shorter and quicker paced. Wonder how we can have a live 'comments section' as well.

If possible, watch the video on Youtube, 'like' it (if you do) and leave a comment on things Nate can explore next time.

You have to stream live. Only way you can do the comments section. I'm totally fine with live, but I'm still working out the kinks on the technical side.

He also said "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate. Hate leads to having an aneurysm because you cried during a podcast about a player demanding to be traded"

Tho I might have that quote wrong.

Lol that may be the only living artifact of me producing anything! I'm always down to help out though, if my schedule permits!
 
I've done (albeit) amateur live streaming to twitch for a few years so I know a little bit on that end technical wise for doing live stream + comment, etc.

I will always lean towards live video then have it archived if people watch. The live experience is just so much more fun and immersive for both the host(s) and the viewers.

True however then you can end up with 2-3 hours of random conversation which isn’t great for people who want to just see certain topics.

If you get any sort of following you could always have a liason to funnel questions. But in the beginning you can just have bullet points, and maybe even if one person is talking the other can respond in chat with a short message, that's always good for continued engagement too.

Yeah but then you have to interact with blazer fans and who wants to do that?
 
Loved hearing the insider tidbits. Sounds like Cronin did make an honest attempt at getting Dame some veteran help, but the asking prices were too high.

Interesting because I was watching the Blazers Uprise YouTube channel, and their view is that Cronin didn't really try, and basically lied & broke a promise/verbal agreement to Dame about trading away this year's pick (unless it was #1). Their theory is Cronin/Blazers front office wanted to force Dame to ask for a trade, as to avoid any fan backlash.

But according to your podcast, Kolde & Jody wanted to keep Dame. This is fascinating as your podcast and Blazers Uprise both claim to have some little bits of insider knowledge, and yet your respective viewpoints are antithetical.

Blazers Uprise has a clear bias in favor of Dame and his camp, and are trashing Cronin as a lying, cheating, backstabbing snake who is trying to turn the fan base against Dame.

It's nice to have an opposing perspective here with Wash City. Wished I knew the truth, but like Rashomon, I guess truth is dependent on who you ask.

It also sounds like one podcast tries to deal in the real world, and the other deals in the old adage "if it bleeds it leads".

Doubtful anyone will even know 100% for sure. We just talked about things we did know and applied them to situation. There is some extrapolation involved of course, but we tried to not get too emotionally involved and instead, just talk about things we had been made aware of and how they fit. Now, did they try to make deals, but maybe Cronin at least, was also prepared to go a new direction if that is what happened? Very likely.

Keeping Dame, adding Grant's contract, adding another piece if they were able to do so that would have require a massive extension going forward, would have really hamstrung the roster for some time without IMO, that likely of a chance of being a legit contender. Since Joe didn't have control over what other teams would offer, it would only make sense to be ready for either path.

To paraphrase Johnny Cochran, "If he made a try, it was not a lie."
 
Great job fellas! If ever need a guest in the future, I might could be persuaded to join in. Just will need to do a sober check on me before we go live mind:bgrin:
 
I was talking to a friend about this very mindset (the knee jerk reactionary stuff). It is what fans do a lot of, and neither of us need to see that in podcasts.

It's why I hate Stephen A Smith, Skip Bayless and shit like that. Even more so are the people who have a very condescending attitude and smugness against others because they "know" more than you or claim they have "inside info".

Even worse are the people who PURPOSELY edit or leave out massive amounts of context from a statement or a video because it fits their narrative to a T.

(and before anyone thinks I'm only talking about certain people, I'm talking about it in general terms. I.e., politics, sports, religions, etc)

Oooh, this gives me an idea!!

@Natebishop3 you should do a 'cast with HCP and do a drinking game so that every time he mentions NEP, Grant High School or shoes, you have to take a shot.

Your liver might disown you after 10 minutes.
