…from Trail Blazers GM Joe Cronin:
“I met with Dame and Aaron Goodwin this afternoon. We had a great dialogue. We remain committed to building a winner around Dame.”
there are no good moves for them now. give it a final run and then blow it up at the deadline. and hope dame doesn’t get hurt in the process.
I legitimately think that only Heat fans are surprised by this. Our lack of pre-draft moves would only really matter if good players were being traded around, but they aren’t. Can’t really blame a FO for not securing a trade that never existed in the first place.
Kinda funny how this whole drama was completely media generated. Lillard didnt ask for a trade, the Blazers wasnt shopping him. But a whole narrative was created to whip us all up in a frenzy.
Now that they have 6’2” Dame locked in with 6’2” Scoot, the question becomes what kind of haul can they get for 6’3” Simons, because that seems like a lot of stock for any team to have in 3 undersized guards
