Dame also wanted them to draft an 18 year old Shaedon Sharpe last season. Dame didn't know what the hell he wanted.
Joe Cronin also said he failed Dame. I don't see how that's making him out to be the bad guy.

Good read so far. Dope to see him take accountability, instead of just saying he was “blackballed”.
Hope Waiters gets another shot. A microwave!

Yeah that's why Portland didn't trade it. Like who are they trading it for? There was nothing that made sense.

“If it doesn’t work, we’re not going to be foolish and just keep doing something that doesn’t work. We’ll just move on and do something else.”
Turn it up
He’s the most unpredictable defensive coach we’ve seen in a while.
That creativity hasn’t shown offensively, even with Kawhi but that could be a function of Kawhi
Pop kept it very vanilla with him & LMA and they were very successful.So we’ll see. Maxey is very talented and can score in a lot of ways so he would benefit from more creativity.

I don't think anyone other than a few "hot take" people puts him as the bad guy. They also traded away Hart at the deadline to continue to rebuild and asked Dame to sit out so that they can get a higher draft pick (which worked).
It's stupid that Portland was waiting for Dame to ask out rather than just doing it themselves. All they've done was force him to ask out. The extension was also part of that since he now can't just walk out and was supposed to be a more valuable trade asset due to the longer contract. Luckily, the extension is proving to hurt them more than help them with asset collection.
From what I am seeing, Portland straight up lied to Dame but Dame was also gullible enough to believe them. Or maybe he was too proud/ blinded by his own sense of loyalty.

If true, OG and Mikal may be the most overrated players by their GMs.
If that trade was indeed on the table, then those GMs should be fired.
With that said...I don't believe the report. Looking back, I don't think Portland ever had any intent to trade #3 if Scoot fell to them.

Seeing Nurse in a Sixers shirt feels just as weird as CP3 in a Warriors Jersey.

I'm really curious to see what he does with Maxey. He's had success with FVV as a combo guard and I think Maxey is already better offensively.
Regarding the offence, it's hard to predict because Embiid is that good offensively (in the regular season) but more ball movement will be very welcomed. The one sticking point with that is the Harden situation...

Sharpe showing more of that weird wiggle, slipperiness and cadence that I compared him with sga before sharpe was drafted
He moves off rhythm lol and it works
Hopefully he cares about winning, that’ll determine a lot

The notion that they were ever going to construct a good enough team through a series of trades to compete for an NBA title was always laughable.
This conference is loaded with guys and/or organizations that have specifically been gunning for rings for YEARS. Dame's been down with the youth movement to a certain extent until he wasn't. At that point, you ask out. Asking out to 1 team that doesn't have what you want makes this situation what it is. Doesn't mean it can't or shouldn't happen, but you have to live with it being uncomfortable.
Dame's only avenue to competing was joining an already existing really good team and that was always going to be the case.
