WTF are they doing? Makes no sense.

For the Blazers? Ideally, Dame is going to put up good enough numbers to get fans to come to games but not good enough to really ruin their lottery chances.

Yeah it’s a bit of a head scratcher. Like if he comes back the year after and is close to his same output they have him on a discount then.

But they’re paying him all of this next season just to take that chance. And if he doesn’t recover well there’s more downside.

Feels mostly a sentimental move

It's absolutely a sentimental move. It's Kobe's last contract.
