    I should put 100 bucks on that. That way if he does leave, then I get 750 dollars.

    If he stays, its worth $100 to me.

    I can't believe Olshey is/will probably be the only gm this team has had since Dame was here. Why wouldn't you want to go in a different direction when you have a player of that level before his contract expires? What they're doing now is clearly not working, and hasn't for several years now.

    SAS said he wants to stay in Portland.

    However, if Neil fails to provide him with another star/help -- Dame will force a trade.

    Oh shit.

    Will it land on the fan?

    This is gonna be the longest 22 hours of speculation this forum has seen. Everything form blockbuster trade to complete front office overhaul.

    Lets get the speculations going now!

    I think it will be them stating they are about done with moves until they can assess their assets just acquired. It will be blown up but be all hollowed out with nothing new for us.

    Why facepalm? He is 100% right. I Love Dame he is my favourite Player, but i feel sorry for him to waste his Prime on a mediocre Basketball Team with a horrible Front Office without a plan. If you really want the best for Lillard, you trade him right to LeBron and give him a Chance to compete, we can't give him that Chance. Thats the reality

    I think the reality is that yes, everyone loves Damian, but its the Blazers who we want to win. You trade Dame, that becomes less likely for two reasons.
    We no longer have him. The Lakers will have started their next dynasty.

    That is the reality.

    For dumb people.

    His tweet literally means:

    I'm already happy. Look at my life. Why are you asking such a dumb ass question?

    If they are willing to wave the white towel at this point (First Team All NBA player who embraces the city, 3rd seed in the West, youngest team in the league, great fan base that rallies behind the team of non-troubled players), then there is no hope for the organization. Blowing it up at this point and time is fucking stupid.

    What's the motivation? Because we overpaid for Evan Turner and Meyers Leonard, we are "stuck"? They haven't even tried to do shit. Olshey is sitting on his fucking hand with his thumb up his ass.

    No he isn't. It's foolish to believe him.

    But you are the one who said Germany needs to rebuild when they literally have an all star team. :dunno:
