Notice Will Dame get booed in his first game back at Moda?

[riverman]

I would give Dame a standing ovation even though I'm pissed at the way he's left the team. He gave me a lot to cheer for for over a decade. I won't miss half court shots as much as he will with a different coach.

Like I said, it'd take a very specific set of circumstances for me to boo him.

I was listening to the open of Dirt and Sprague today and they played the two shots and his rookie game against the L*kers. Man that made me feel some sort of way. It's just a really strange time. I want to celebrate all he's done here.

That said, I don't blame people booing him because of this. The optics are bad on a lot of this. I get it.

I think there are always idiots who will boo him, but he deserves a nice ovation. After he's traded, the Blazers will try to cool the temperature. Lillard will have prepared a nice statement by his agent for the fans. In other words, much will be forgiven.

I hope no one boos him. I am not rooting for a standing ovation, but being hostile towards him would be gauche.

Man, I really want to root for Dame but the way he's strong-arming the team right now is really leaving a bad taste in my mouth. To sign that deal last Summer and then at the first opportunity demand to go to only one team and undercut the Blazers leverage is a tough one. I always said I'd root for him to win elsewhere but I'm not so sure if I feel that way right now.

We'll see how this plays out.

That’s an interesting point. He stuck around long enough to get his super max and now he’s leaving right as soon as he possibly could.
