@whats2liberal@thatdudejustin5@byChrisJoseph@HPbasketball Oh yeah, Dame’s way better than Jrue, obviously - especially on offense. I just mean that for Portland specifically (who don’t care about winning this year) waiting to trade Dame would have complicated their year more than waiting to trade Jrue will.
@byChrisJoseph@thatdudejustin5@HPbasketball Fully agreed they should flip him, but I think they can now actually wait for the best offer; I’d argue the urgency to flip Dame (franchise icon, huge story/distraction, less plug-and-play for other teams, unworkable on the floor with Scoot) was way higher.
@thatdudejustin5@byChrisJoseph@HPbasketball Jrue has way less downside risk on his contract than Dame does, is extremely defensively versatile (unlike Dame) and accordingly works fine alongside their young backcourt, and is arguably best as a secondary ball-handler; IMO significantly less pressure to trade him.
We’ve been screaming from the top of our lungs: the antiporn age-verification laws are part of this project. Block “porn” while simultaneously refining everything LGBTQ+ and reproductive health as porn. And yet, sex workers and adult businesses are largely fighting them alone.
