Incredible package for Blazers all things considered

 

[allergic2broke]

Let's go pat get it done. Anybody but bam or Jimmy

 

[DLF]

Does Dame have power to veto?

No

But Portland will do right by him

 

[elpablo21]

Does Dame have power to veto?

Nope but neither did KD

Does Dame have power to veto?

No, only Bradley Beal has a NTC. He could threaten to not play/sit/say he's unhappy to dissuade Philadelphia or Brooklyn trading for him.

I can't recall the last time a star was dealt soemwhere he didn't want to go and how it panned out, though.

Jimmy played good enough I suppose lol

 

[DLF]

Soooo didn’t Dame NOT wanna form superteams

What would Dame, Butler and Bam be considered?

I don’t care, just playing devils advocate


Also: new cba was suppose to be death of 3 stars model

We got 2.5 of them formed in last 2 weeks (Boston, Miami and Phoenix) lol


Star model will NEVER die

 

[shotsrangout]

but srs

why they do dat. Between that and the Harrison Barnes signings, those are the ones people should be upset about

Harrison barnes is good though

Can defend 1-4 and can hit open shots and if you give him the ball he can create off the dribble. He got paid fairly.

I know the answer to this but is dame really the best blazer of all time?

Walton won them the finals
Clyde at least took em to the finals.
Dame hit a series winning shot over PG?

Dame waited until his boy Jerami got his deal.

Great friend

 

[rolaholic]

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Dame still annoying everyone even up to this point

 

[tay1]

Man’s tryna hide behind Wemby.

 

[airblaster503]

Saw that coming as a Blazer fan. The organization didn’t make any moves to put any bets by him. Most likely they just weren’t there to be made. I do think Dame dropping a hypothetical trade preference teams before the draft worked against the Blazers. Why would teams trade for the number 3 pick when they could wait it out and trade for Dame.

That Grant contract though is now looking worse than it did yesterday, and that is saying something. Way overpaid for a dude that hasn’t even been an all star. Hopefully Blazers can get a good haul from Miami and build around Sharpe, Ant and Scoot. IMO I do think that core could be really good within 2-3 years.

Star model will NEVER die

The teams that the new CBA set out to put an end to didn't exist previously, though GSW and LAC were just massive spenders.

Also, the conversation about the 3 star model is that it isn't all that it's cracked out to be. We saw with Harden-Kyrie-KD (although that is contentious debate because of how they fizzled).

We'll see what happens with Phoenix and Miami. You can get 3 stars under the CBA but it's just a matter of if the rest of the cast around them will be sufficient to win a title.

 

[mr s j king]

If he really said that he’s trippin and full of

Just say I’m comfortable in Portland and winning rings never mattered to me

He’s one of the few players whose legacy isn’t attached to winning rings
