Dame wanted to have a “puncher’s chance” at contending, and he can do that in a number of places. As a Blazer fan I want Dame to succeed, and I want him to get what he wants, but I also don’t want my franchise to be on the ass-end of a terrible trade. I really think if he had given us a few options that this would be over by now. People have questioned whether a number of Cronin’s previous trades weren’t perhaps overpays for what they got in return, but he always sent his players to places and situations they wanted to be in (Powell/Covington to LA, McCollum/Nance to NOLA, Hart to NY, Payton II to GSW). Doesn’t mean we have to entertain unreasonable offers if that’s what they are.
