    I'm sure to Dame after getting an all NBA first team nod...any press is good press...the dude knows how to build his brand...how many Dame shoes will get sold in LA this week besides the 12 pair el prez buys twice a week? How many music CDs will he turn over ….money in the bank

    You'd think by now most Blazer veterans and staff know not to listen to the bukkaki that is the oregonian. What a shithole story - can the Portland press get any more out of favor with Portland's largest commodity? Surely Dame knows the Blazer fanbase isn't represented by these vindictive CU%TS!!!

    Are the Lakers paying the Oregonian to put this crap out? Seriously I need to get off the internet for a few days before I go crazy, this is unbelievably stupid.
    Part of me would understand Dame or anyone wanting to go play with Lebron, but Oregon sports media ENCOURAGING it is some of the dumbest crap I’ve seen in a long time....

    I don’t know why people are even entertaining the idea of a dame trade. He said not getting traded. Only way he does is if he absolutely ends up hating it here and asks for it which doesn’t seem the case. It’s just funny to me the same media that never includes dame in any top player list is all excited about a “possible dame trade”. Industry is fake and garbage. ESPN is garbage and this is the problem with journalists even out of sports media. This is why the term fake news is a thing. Because shit is becoming more and more click bait than actual logic or facts. People grasping at straws every day coming up with articles to try and keep their jobs. It’s pathetic

    If we trade Dame to the Lakers though I want Brandon Ingram,
    Kyle Kuzma, Josh Hart and multiple draft picks in the trade. They also have to take back Evan Turnover.

    They literally could not do that. With all of their signings, they don't have tons of cap room. In fact, we'd have to take back Deng with any combination of their players for Dame. We can trade Meyers or Mo with Dame, but we still take on more salary and go deeper into the tax for the pleasure of giving Dame to LA.

    And forget draft picks. Anyone else thing Dame+LBJ isn't getting a 6 seed or higher? We'd be picking in the 20's for half a decade even if we got the magical Kawhi haul for Dame.

    Yes, it is.

    How many teams win a 1st round series? 8. And we're in the west. So if a team loses in the first round, and can't continue to add all-stars, that means any player they have automatically wants out?

    There's NO substance to it, instead you have national media trying to decipher meaningless Tweets about a dude with 3 years left on his contract. Dame just re-tweeted a Tweet saying "Blazers forever"... But that won't get traction. The national media doesn't want him in Portland, so they're gonna run with anything they can. It's unreasonable to assume he wants out based on vague tweets and emojis when he's been saying for years that he wants to be a Blazer for life.

    Some issues with creating a Dame-based superteam
    a) Dame hasn't played for Team USA
    b) On the times when they have lobbied for high-profile people (Melo, Whiteside) , they've been shut down or gotten second place.
    c) He doesn't have a Chris Haynes or Brian Windhorst or Chris Sheridan or Ira Winderman/Israel Gutierrez writing slurp pieces on him or the Blazers. Not saying that propaganda is encouraged, but it's definitely a part of the game. And it's one we suck in.

    Considering how our local sports media does the opposite, yeah "we" do. They run our players out of town when they don't like them, now they are trying to talk Dame into leaving. Fuckers

    I just don’t buy this everyone is out to get us mantra that lots of posters in here ascribe to when it comes to the national media. Are we ignored and under appreciated? Sure. However, we are not actively rooted against by most of the writers. There are real reasons behind the idea he will leave. That is a fact. I’m not saying it’s to the lakers or knicks or whatever stupid ass trades have been suggested by the press. But to think he’s NEVER going to want to leave is both naive and dangerous.

    One of the Oregonian Blazer beat writers recently on a podcast said he wasn't a Blazer fan or even really a basketball fan..he was an SEC football fan....I was shocked actually..the guy has covered the team for many, many years....won't mention names but let's just say...he's at every interview and travels even to the road games. You'd think the local media would at least be able to find a guy who loved the game to cover the team
