And then we'll take it higher. Oh, we're gonna rock it down to E-L-Trick. It's a hard my take. He's ended by barstown sports. Welcome to part of my take today is Monday, July 3rd and PFT. We should have been NBA players because holy shit they're getting paid and it is awesome. Yeah, it really is. Like some of the names that are getting these huge, huge deals, it just you scratch your head, but then you're like, oh yeah, they actually have to spend that money. I don't want to call Michael Malone a liar when he said that we're running this shit back with Bruce Brown I think he said at the parade like damn right Bruce is coming back. We're running this shit back Anything you say at a championship parade should be that's like that's client patient confidentiality You can't can't hold that against anybody your drunk at a parade. You're gonna say what you want and Yeah, good for him I think he got like 40 million and the nuggets could only offer him like eight million a year.

So they tried to keep a big cat. They tried to keep Bruce Brown. I mean, we said this right after they won the title because remember Bruce Brown was the one who said it and we're like, you know, when the worst time to negotiate a new deal is, is like seconds after you win a title with your boys and your trends in champagne because Bruce Brown the night he won a title said,

I want to stay, it's a perfect fit

and money is not everything the money will come so I'm not worried about that right now I don't hold that against someone so ever because 45 million is a lot more money than 8 million a year yeah yeah though he said all the right things but at the end of the day when you're looking at 45 million next to 16 million dollars, you'd have to be a fucking moron, not to take the 45. So congratulations to him. The biggest loser in free agency is Jeremy Grant. Jeremy Grant got 150 million to return to the trio blazers. Now on paper, you're like, wow, that's a great deal. But the contract was destroyed and broke the camel's back for Dame.

He was like, this is what we're doing in free agency? We're resigning Jeremy Grant. Yeah, fuck you guys, I'm out. And now, Dame Willard is in a, so I said I was gonna do it. And I did it right away. I was like, Dame, no loyalty left in the NBA. like I can't believe he would do this.

People reacted accordingly, very upset at me.

But the interesting thing with Dame right now is he wants to go to the heat and the heat don't have the best offer and now you have like blazers and heat fans arguing online where heat fans can basically be like well no we want him and he's gonna be ours. And there's nothing you can do about it.

And the blazers being like, wait, we can't get any free agents no matter what. So we have to get like a ton of draft picks. And that will just be a showdown for the next month. It feels like, like, can the blazers actually get a good deal? Or do they just have to be like, the theory that the blazers should treat So that they could get future free agents is the dumbest theory in the world.

They're not going to get future free agents.

They should get whatever... The theory that the blazers should treat Dame correctly so that they could get future free agents

is the dumbest theory in the world.

They're not gonna get future free agents. They should get whatever they can get because as good as Dame was for them, he's the best blazer of all time, incredibly loyal. Seems like a great dude. You can't just be like, oh, because you were a great dude, we'll just take Tyler Hero and call it even. Yeah, this is my favorite people online, the ones who are like,

well, why would anybody ever sign with Portland

after watching what they're gonna do to Dame?
