    I hate everything about social media. It's given every hater, wacko, and bully a place to harm, control, and spew venom. I don't twitter, instagram, and rarely go on facebook because of that. I really hope Dame, & all of us focus on the good, and possibilities of the future. Otherwise we ain't gonna be around long. I hope it's not too late.

    That's the issue with athletes today, it's one way to get their "brand" out there. But if you read his tweets, there's so much "come play for my team!" or comments said to him that none of those people would even have the balls to say to his face.

    In essence, it gets ruined by a bunch of young immature shit heads who ruin everything else they touch.

    we’d all be happier without it. I know because every year I usually delete all social media apps for a month or so. But like an idiot I always end up going back. It really is a problem. One of these days I’ll just delete them for good, and be truly happy lol.

    Why didn't LeBron ask for a trade when Racist garbage was painted on the wall in that well to do neighborhood in Smogtown. Crap happens everywhere. The grass ain't always greener. I also believe Dame is worthy of a ring. It would be nice though, if he was the leader & main reason. Dame ain't no jock clinger. He's an Alpha.

    I stopped watching the news. It was bad for my blood pressure. This crap being spewed ain't helping either.

    Don't you have this feeling that it’s not about if he want's to leave rather than when? I do think he want's to leave and win a championship which is absolutely fine, but i have the feeling that he's just looking for a reason because he talked so much about loyalty and running from the grind over so many years that it would look really akward. I think today is the beginning of the end of Lillard's career in Portland and if not this summer, then he's out next summer definitely.

    Just got back from our family camp in central Oregon, zero internet of phone since Wednesday. I did drive up the a ways to get a signal so my wife could contact her 98 year old mother, so I did tune in to this forum just to see what was happening pertaining to the coach search. Saw some various points of views expressed with feelings so when the wife said lets get back to the family and tune distractions out it actually felt good to leave it.
    Now Im back and tuned in here and wow!
    I hope whoever the new coach is people will get behind them and see what happens. The new season isn't to far off! Go Ducks

    Dames contract is up a couple years so a change may be something he wants and really theres nothing wrong with that. Its pro sports built around youngster millionaires and they should be allowed to, once contact is honored to experience new horizons, life is a journey!

    No, I think if Portland took this summer and reworked the roster to fit better, and add a coach who he believes will get the most out of the team, I dont think he wanted to go anywhere. I think he's just been trying to find reasons to stay, and hes simply running out of reasons why he should

    All the Dame trolls are rejoicing now. They're coming out of the woodwork like cockroaches. It's truly pathetic.

    I wonder who Damian really wanted as the coach. I know that some names were dropped by Chris Haynes, but they weren't necessarily his choice (iirc, Dame pretty much said that his words were taken out of context).

    Maybe Damian is calling their bluff, and seeing what they do. Thus why there was no name assigned to the press conference?


    shut up, i know that's nonsense.

    Sad thing is, it's really the trolls for the most part. Social Media gives them a HUGE voice. This is a case where the school clown ruins it for the whole class. The majority gets punished for the clowns act. Majority loses. I hope this ain't the case with our Blazers.
