That is my conspiracy theory, that segment of the fanbase that you mentioned. It's not about damage control, it feels like people digging up the past to smear names so the front office will change their minds. Like it's political ad season again. Just find it convenient that when hammon's name comes up, the "loyal fans" start to trash Dame for voicing his opinion, then attack him for not knowing info that was dug up from decades ago. Again i'm not against them hiring hammon, but there are better reasons for hiring her than the other candidate being accused of a rape but never convicted. If all the tweets were, "Dame, why would you choose someone with barely any experience over someone with years of tutelage under one of the greatest coaches in the nba?" then it doesnt look like a non nba agenda being pushed.
Anyways that's the last I'm probably gonna talk about it. Im just coming up with reasons to be pissed at all the people turning on Dame. I think the real reason i'm so pissed is like the week after i finally buy a Lillard jersey, all this stuff is blowing up and lillard trade scenarios are popping up all over the place. So now I gotta go look for a receipt i probably tossed.
