Dame Time

Its also worth noting how few actual reports there are about internal discussions let alone calls made by other suitors.

Other teams are holding out until there is some kind of resolution. I bet Cronin is pissed that his phone is so silent.

Blazers GM Joe Cronin isn't about to rush the trade of his life

Portland wants the best offer it can get for its star point guard, and the Blazers plan to wait out the market.

www.espn.com

“For teams calling about trading for Damian Lillard, the message from the Portland Trail Blazers has been unambiguous: Bring your best offer and make your team our preferred trade destination. General manager Joe Cronin doesn't plan to operate a transfer portal to the Miami Heat and dutifully deliver history's greatest Blazer to his targeted team.

Ownership plans to honor Lillard's request for a trade, but Blazers officials are telling teams they'll move Lillard for only the deepest return of assets available. Portland is pursuing the sliding scale superstar package of desirable draft picks and high-level young players. For the summer, Cronin's betting the market over Miami.”

Exactly what I would do…

Sure can't help but wonder if this impacts the return Portland can get for Dame.

I’m just gonna go ahead and bow out of the convo and come back in when Miami trades for him and the package isn’t as bad as people think it is. Some of the guys in here saying the package is garbage are the same dunces that said we got magic beans for Rudy.

I don’t recall a single person questioning the return we got on Rudy.

I put this out to the broader group… anyone recall anyone questioning the return we got from Rudy?

Pretty sure you are making stuff up because I remember the vast majority of people loving the trade.

Did I say majority? I did not.

The Gobert trade was pretty much universally praised here.

Like I genuinely don't remember a single person here who was unhappy with it.

You don’t remember the guys who said we traded a car for 4 hub caps and lottery tickets? Plus the picks are going to be in the late 20’s so why is everyone excited over them? It definitely happened.

Maybe I didn't see it, but I certainly don't remember it, and I was one of the biggest Gobert fans here.

Just wondering who in this thread HH is referring to as the "same dunces" that criticized the Gobert trade.
