LA has nothing to offer Portland, and Dame is under contract for another 3-4 years.
-
If a player wants out he's out
-
I agree, but they don't have to do biz with LA when he has that many years on his deal.
-
Portland still hired Billups like he wanted.
So Dame complained about the fans on Twitter. Big Deal. It'll be water under the bridge next week.
"He has concerns on how to build a contender at Portland" That's dumb. They made the WCF with Kanter starting. Stars want to run the show and he is up here. If he really ends up wanting out it's an issue with ownership/front office. -
If Dame does leave he wont be going to the Lakers. The Blazers dont want picks in the 2029 draft.
-
Stotts would still be corch if Dame wanted him to be. He didn’t. So now Chauncey Billups is their corch.CuntWaffle said:If Dame does leave he wont be going to the Lakers. The Blazers dont want picks in the 2029 draft.
The Blazers relied on unbelievably plus performances by Carmelo Anthony and Enes Kanter to even make the playoffs. Their roster is a dumpster fire.
Should the Blazers fall further next Season, Dame gone. And without some measurable improvement in FA, they will. -
Dame will look great in a Knicks uniform.
-
The knicks roster would sucks balls and solve nothing for dame. Puts him in a weaker conference I guess but they can’t offer anything to get a superstar player.TheKobeStopper said:Dame will look great in a Knicks uniform.
-
I think a deal with the Celtics or sixers is very likely. Both teams have high end talent to trade and draft pick assets.

-
What channel is the Blazer game on? Is it on HD?

If they got Dame, other stars would be more enticed to go there.AtomicDawg said:

I get that Portland fucked up the roster and that is the biggest issue, but I'm not sure that Lillard's game isn't partly to blame.
He is an elite player, but his game doesn't seem to elevate others around him. I can't explain it fully, but there's a huge difference watching him and guys like Steph and Luka. Those guys probably get everyone else involved a lot more and get the dedication needed on defense. Additionally defenses in the playoffs know most of the time he's just going slash or stop and jack up a half court 3. It's kind of weird that he just expected to beat that Denver team that still had three all star caliber players to Portland's two (although I think Nurk is a star just too moody/injury prone).
The best game I've ever seen out of this Portland roster was 3 or so seasons ago when they beat the Warriors at Oracle during their historic season, a regular season game but in the last month or so when teams are ramping up for the playoffs. And the offense went through Nurk, he abused their center in the paint and passed the ball as well as every big in the league except Jokic, and then shots opened up for Dame and he was more of a complimentary piece. But Stotts won't run the team like that with 2 max guards, and I doubt Billups will either. -

He's definitely elite, top 6 player, there's too many differences between him and a pretender/accumulator. He nearly won a playoff game by himself, over matched. Portland only wins game 7 in 2019 because Denver was 100% focused on him and CJ eviscerated them mid range.BleachedAnusDawg said:

But like so many, he can't do it by himself and CJ doesn't compliment him at all. -
Other than having the weakest hands, slowest foot speed and worst endurance of any Center in the league, Nurks great. Max him out.haie said:I get that Portland fucked up the roster and that is the biggest issue, but I'm not sure that Lillard's game isn't partly to blame.

You don't have to max him out, but don't pay him like the 3rd best player and then never use him to his strengths. He does need to improve but it's not like passing centers like that are easy to find.Kaepsknee said:

Otherwise you're always just going to be a team that hopes your two guards don't get cold during a series, which one of them did this year and that was the difference. -

Now it’s found out that Billups lawyer was never contacted in the proprietorial investigation and the SJW hounds are hungry to see if there ever was one at all.haie said:

If the Blazers ignore it, it will go away. Nobody will care in a week. Most already don’t. None of the sjw’s will care when a new story comes out.Kaepsknee said:

Did we win?

^ eh oh el
Hope for all small market franchises everywhere!!!!
No, really it is. Unless you have a bad GM. Then you're the Sacremento Kings, New Orleans Pelicans, or the Portland Trailblazers.
At least we aren't the New York Knicks. -
