I’m so glad this delusional organization and this delusional fanbase finally got what it deserved.
I’ve seen endless comments from fans about how “wE cAN maKE dAmE aND sCOoT wORkkKKk”
The level of disrespect 🤦🏻♂️ I’m sad to see him go, but it is absolutely the best decision.
I’m just excited for the future. And Cronin BETTER NOT GET FUCKING FLEECED in a trade.
I hoped I never had to watch this episode Mike, incredibly sad time for the Blazers
Im sorry to say but the Blazers organization is a loser. You have a loyal top 75 player ever and you can't manage to built around him and its ashamed.
Top 3 Blazers players. Bill Walton, Cycle Drexler n Dame. Enjoy watching a decade of Dame. Wish him nothing but the best while he can still win a ring.
Those that trash Cronin. You have no idea that Cronin n Schmitz have set this franchise ready to compete again in Scoot n Shaedon. Along with Murray n Walker. These 4 r going to be the cornerstone.
Scoot will convert n baptize evetyone of you. Jusy watch Summer league next week.
Scoot for PRESIDENT.
Shaedon for Vice President
Murray for Secretary of Defense
Walker for Secretary of State
Ant probably needs to follow him out
Philly, Boston, Miami, Brooklyn, Milwaukee, even Toronto, there are going to be NBA meetings today, offers prepared
Dame made a choice and actually forced the hand of Joe at the draft with his destination choices…Ant must be really happy today. I am disappointed in the choice but it's not my life….he'll definitely save money outside of Oregon's tax system but I don't think money is Dame's problem. I hope he fails to win a ring in Miami and like Lamarcus…has a career that fades slowly into his later years. That's because I believed him when he said he'd retire here..
I want Jimmy Butler for Dame period.
Why couldn't he have said this before they gave the massive contract to Grant?
Mike, I’ve been a fan since 1975. I’ve had to endure the days where Walton, Lucas, Clyde all asked to be traded.
Dame hurts differently.
Because he wanted what all the fans wanted… “ a shot at the championship.”
I blame Jodi Allen. She should’ve SOLD the team to Phil Knight. A guy who CARES about the Blazers.
Cronin should be fired. He didn’t deliver what he REPEATEDLY SAID he’d do.
Dame wanted to stay.
Like all the other former stars trade requests… this day hurts. Just a little bit more than the others. Because Dame wanted to stay.
Dame to the Spurs for Wemby and Collins!
Nice blazers can build around triple S
We should have traded for Pascal fuckkkkk
Oof
Yup, A 3rd team will likely take Herro…but it's Dame time in Miami. Win-win for everyone. Portland's young core is 🔥 can't blown that up for rentals or injury prone guys.
Everything changes…
Excited as hell for the future, but Jody's gotta sell to Phil Knight. Now!!
If we bend over backwards for Dame to screw ourselves even harder I will be really disappointed. There's a line between loyalty and stupidity. Think about the fans, they're the ones buying the tickets, not Dame.
3 team trade Miami Portland San Antonio
Well hope jody n joe are happy they pushed out our best player
I wish they would have just traded dame earlier and not over pay for grant… rebuilding but get rid of Watford & then sign grant to a 5 yr 160 lol….
Never in history of basketball have i seen a franchise fail their best player. What has cronnin done to build a team around him with veterans? Over paying for grant was the last straw that this team would go anywhere
Well the Blazers' front office handled the Dame situation in the worst way possible. Cronin just did the opposite of what he promised to do. Everyone feels flat out deceived. Now how many free agents, and players in general, will want to come to Portland? Great job of forcing Dame out, without having to admit the organization wants to rebuild. Cronin even handcuffed Grant's trade value by overpaying on a 5-year contract.
On the bright side, I realized the Heat have an expendable asset in Nikola Jovic that makes a trade more attractive to the Blazers.
I wanna vomit
I Appreciate Dames time here. And wish him the best moving forward.
But sad to say even with the nice young pieces we won't be seeing the playoffs for awhile.
But this franchise as always been about getting players the fase base looks at as great guy's. That can make playoffs but never actually compete for a championship.
We won't get anything back for him which will makes us better anytime soon.
No one wants Tyler Herro don't know what the hype is with him. And definitely don't want Ben Simmons
I’ll respect game bye-bye my by him asking out and playing his cry baby bro I don’t think we should honor his destination I think we should get was best for the city of Portland
I’m so happy he’s leaving thank you buddy I just got tired of hear trade rumors with him every year all love🤙🏽💯
Mike I am so sad 😭 😭😭 What a bummer that a small market had a top 75 all time player and never pushed the chips in for him. If you don’t do it for Dame when do you do it?
Also, if the trade is as bad as you say for us that makes it hurt even more. I’m excited for the young guys, but am skeptical they will ever love Portland like Dame does. I do hope he comes back to retire but man does this suck.
Do you think Cronin was straight up lying? He seems like a good guy, but what they heck went on behind the scenes? I really wish we could see the trades he turned down.
Also, thanks for the extra podcast. You are busy dude with a family and you showed up for us. Much appreciated. ❤
I feel your pain. as a heat fan we lost wade as well….but came back
Was wondering what else could make my life worse, now this! It had better be the nets package, not the heat package. The heat arent offering shit. If were in a rebuild it better be a ton of draft capitol! 1st rounders only! Nets can oblige. Loyalty does not mean screw the team you left! Yes Im pissed!!!!!
Im done with the blazers after 50 years. I hope the team leaves! Couldnt even try to get Dames back! F. You
Can't get fleeced for the third pick if you get fleeced for Dame instead.
YOU LIED TO DAME AND THE FANS! WORST MANAGEMENT IN PRO SPORTS! PAUL IS ROLLING IN HIS GRAVE! IM SICK RIGHT NOW HOW JODY AND JOE HAVE DONE DAME AND THE FANBASE!
What this two-faced franchise did after saying they want to win with him and then do everything not to -UNFORGIVABLE. THEY FLAT OUT LIED TO DAME AND ALL THE FANS. AS A MAN ALL YOU HAVE IS YOUR WORD AND CRONIN DOESNT EVEN HAVE THAT. JODY AND JOE NEED TO GET LOST. THEY WONT ANYTIME SOON – SO JUST LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND FEEL SHAME JODY AND JOE!! SHAME!!
