Semi-OT: Bucks waived Lillard to sign Turner

[Sinobas]

I think Joe wanted out of Dame's contract, and when Dame asked out, he was secretly happy about it. It gave him an out. That's why he didn't let Dame recind.

The team was faced with years of mediocrity and no realistic way to improve substantially. The Dame trade solved that and has in a round about way given us 3 building blocks in Deni,Camara and Clingan.

If we get Dame back as well for peanuts, it'll be a total coup. I think Dame wants to come back. This would be the best supporting cast he's played with since his rookie year.

If Dame recovers from his injury a little earlier than normal....and he wants to be a blazer again....and the Blazers have an open roster spot...then Dame can 'audition' on a 10-day contract. I really don't think that would be an insulting situation. Maybe Dame would see it that way, I don't know. But it would give the Blazers a bit of a preview of how Dame would be as a '35-year-old-about-to-be-36' PG trying to come back from the worst injury in basketball

Spoiler:

I think he sits out the season and signs with us after 2 faced Joe gets canned. Again, in this podcast they talk about how he tried to come back and they said no. Been awfully quiet in here since i posted those sources.. A lot of people have said Dame wants to come back. I've heard it from multiple players, people close to him etc on social media.

I think it's been quiet because we all remember that it wasn't a trade request rescind, it was a 'trade right now but still want to go to Miami once everything can be worked out' rescinding.

Here's again a point where it's very much dependent on which viewpoint you are sympathetic to. Do you believe Lillard deserves the chance to walk back his request and mend those broken fences? Do you believe that Cronin had every right to say you picked a direction and we're sticking with it? I believe there's room for both views to exist and to also believe that both are also right. There's also the fact that this return was only temporary, a way for the Blazers to extend talks into the season that would ultimately land Lillard in Miami.

This is from the article that Danny Marang wrote afterwards. You may remember this article because he posted that he only included the parts about his personal conversations with Damian with Damian's permission. While I do not trust Marang overall, when he's citing direct conversations and phone calls with a player with the player's permission, I will trust that one.

But mostly I feel people might think arguing with you on this topic is fruitless. You're very set in your frustration and anger. While that's understandable, you aren't exactly open to seeing other views or hearing other news and just want to get into it again and again. I think that combined with what the rest of us remember is why it's 'been awfully quiet'.

Feel better now? Been holding that in for a while now.

Set in my frustration and anger? Who am I arguing with? Who am i angry at other than this franchise for being tragic for the last 10 years? I'm really tired of your personal digs and passive aggressive comments for like what, 3 years? I have completely ignored them btw, despite my anger issues... What have I ever said about you personally? Or anyone on this board?

Is there anything else you would like to add?

I visit this site because I value the opinions and perspectives of all the posters here, that's why i spend so much time in this space. Whatever narrative you've built up in your mind about who I am reading my posts over the years, you can keep that to yourself. Instead of using that as validation to go out of your way to say negative things about me. Or you could mute my posts, which i've encouraged others to do if they don't like my contributions to this forum.

Have a nice 4th of July weekend. I'm gonna go **** off.

Case, you literally made a post that our owner should worried about being murdered and up her security when Damian was traded. And not in a joking way, you were 100% serious. You've continued to write a lot of angry posts attacking everyone around the organizations on a personal level beyond their basketball moves, often for paragraphs at a time. So yes, I do think you have anger and frustration for the team that you constantly spill out on a level that is super intense and derails conversation for some people. You're the one who made a post, that you edited while I was replying, saying people had gotten quiet after you posted the trade rescinding. I was giving you feedback about why people might've gotten quiet, as others tried to give you in the draft thread when the same thing was happening.

It's a perfect spot for him, but they're going to be super logjammed at PG when he's back healthy when you have White, Pritchard and Lillard.

They'll probably slide White to SG I would imagine, start Dame, and keep Pritchard as 6th man. Plus they still have Simons, but not sure their time on the team will overlap much on-the-court.
