Stretch 113 million over five years. He’s heard from at least 10 teams, man, including the Warriors and the Lakers, man. Where y’all think Dane might sign to?
I heard he was going to sit out this year. He wasn’t going to sign with nobody this year.
Okay. I know a lot of teams are urging, you know what I’m saying, for them to commit now. Obviously, he got some time to rest, excuse me, with his uh rehabilitation situation. But some of these teams, man, we seeing the Celtics, the Rockets, maybe even a return to the Blazers, Warriors, and Lakers. Any of those teams y’all see is a good fit for Dave?
Yeah. Go to the Celtics.

It ain’t It ain’t meant to be. You already tried that in Milwaukee. Go back where you celebrate. You the franchise leader. Just go retire a Blazer, bro. He coming back off of Achilles.
Go to the Blazer on your last year of your retire. If we don’t we don’t know how he going to bounce back from that Achilles. He might be
I mean let’s at least try it out.
Yeah. Try it out in the Blazer. Ain’t nobody ever ain’t nobody going to be mad at you with the Blazers.
Nobody going to say
him for going to the Blazers.
Who?
Everybody. Why are you going to the Blazers? Cuz you should have never left then, bro.
He didn’t want to leave. He tried. He wanted to win. They ain’t want to. You know what I mean? Tried to come back. They like, “Nah, bro. We done already been down this road.
Did all that extra shit.” Yeah. It’s time to go.
Yeah. He made a mistake. He felt like he made a mistake.
Well, you can’t come back from this one, bro. We see you on your last You can though. They want you. If you look at this, this roster back bringing nobody here to hoop with me. What the hell am I going?
It don’t matter no more. We already tried. I just played with top 20 greatest players of all time. It didn’t work out.
It’s a bad fit. Yeah. I ain’t about to
listen. It’s a bad hoop with everybody. KD said I’m
Ky James. All right, I’m about to slide. D Book at Brandville. All right, I’m about to slide.
If you could hoop KD.
Yeah, but they say KD a nomad, bro. He ain’t going to have a franchise to go back to when it’s all said and done. D can go back to he go whichever one he want to open.
I’m going I’m going back to be the greatest Blazer all time. Hey, go back where you celebrated. You already said it.
I always talk about
celebrated by 10 teams.
No, he’s not. You go to the Celtics. No bikes. Casey Hill, everybody call him.
No, nobody care about you on the Celtics. Nobody going to care about you on the Rockets. Nobody going to care about you on the Warriors. Nobody going to care about you on the Lakers.
Yeah, but Blazers, bro, you a legend. You everything
there though.
Yeah, go back. He good there. No matter
ring chasing might not just be for Dame. He went to Milwaukee. The was ass. I’m going back home, bro. Out my crib. it. He already stepped in that field, bro.
My crib is here, bro. I live in Portland. Y’all love me. I throw parties. I have rap concerts. Everybody come to this I’m going back to the crib, bro. You already say go receelebrate it.
I do, bro. And I agree. But it’s 10 teams go celebrate.
That ain’t though. What about if you go there and don’t work out again?
It’s cool. Look at Look, look, look at everybody who left that crib, bro.
I genuinely think he wants to try to win a championship.
I can’t speak for him,
but if I had to be a betting man, I think he want to go play competitive basketball. I ain’t going to lie. I think on his record. No, I don’t. I think bro kind of thinking like the book now, bro. He like championship might not be for everybody, but I’m cold. Like I’m top 75. I know I’m one of them. You ain’t championship ain’t going to solidify me being cold.
See me, I would have been thinking like that from the jump.
But the fact that he already tried, bro, you might go keep trying, bro.
But he really ain’t even tried though cuz that ain’t where he wanted to go. He ain’t want to go to Milwaukee. He wanted to go to Miami. You know you wouldn’t win no chip in Miami. He just wanted to go try to be on a winning team because they was rebuilding. Like you bringing in Scoo Henderson, you bringing in Y ain’t giving me a chance at all. Like I still want to make the playoffs and But now he done to his Achilles. He like I’m already getting pulled. I’m getting my contract getting stretched out for five years. Man, I’m going to the crib, bro. My babies is here. I got a nice house. Like, come on, man. And uh some of the reports were saying that he was asking, you know what I’m saying, in Milwaukee to stay home, rehab, get himself together, be around his family, and come back. And some people in the organization wasn’t feeling that, which, you know what I’m saying? He was kind of surprised and happy at the fact that they let him go cuz like you said, he get to keep that bread in, do his rehab on his own time and pick his own destiny. So, we’ll see, man. Uh Portland, bro.
Okay. Everybody feeling Portland is not a feeling.
Oh, yeah. Don’t include me with that, bro.
Ain’t feeling Portland. M ain’t feeling poor. Tig is though. I rather let him go to Miami or something if he going to do go to Portland. But if not, if you trying to win, go to the Celtics, bro. Maybe Golden State.
Celtics ain’t even like that no more. They trading everybody.
It will be for next year.
Yeah. Brad Stevens going to do what he got to do next year.
Pick and get Dane.
Two people off of Achilles back. Jaylen Brown. It be all right.
That’s a hell of a gamble. Two people off Achilles.
I’ll take it, bro.
Most definitely not. Melo was on IG yesterday. He was saying, you know what I’m saying? There’s no loyalty sports, man. Look what the Bucks did today. This man came back in blood clots, fought back through injuries, got injured again, and look how they did him. Um, how do y’all feel about that statement? Is that more on dame? Know what I’m saying? Competing even though he probably didn’t need to, or is it just one of those things business is business?
Nah, we been it’s no loyalty in sports, bro. You seen Isaiah Thomas. Okay.
We seen all these people get hurt, do all this, and they get traded. It don’t matter, bro. This is business. So that’s why you handle your business like Melo did.
Do what you got to do, bro. That’s why you go back to the Blazers. My point. Exactly. Cuz business is business. And they always did right by you. They even traded you. Like most people when they get traded, they get traded to some Like I don’t give like think about Melo. When Melo left the Knicks, they sent him to the Thunder. Thunder talking about he going to come off the bench. You know what I mean? All type of They sent him to Milwaukee where like damn go compete for a championship game.
Like now everybody get that kind of treatment.
Yeah. And also in hindsight um people always forget that situation. They did try to get him to Miami and Pat Riley was with on some Pat Riley where he been the last couple years. They could have got that deal done. Yeah, they tried to do right bomb. That’s why I I would go back cuz they going to give him time to still be himself with that Achilles, bro. Like if you go to the Lakers or whoever it is, the expectations are super high.
Yeah. And you ain’t com bro Achilles. I’m imagining it took KD what a year and a half to come back.
Mhm. Like you gonna need somebody with some grace to with you.
