    I’d fall over dead if I saw Dame stealing rebounds from a teammate.

    As long as THE BLAZERS got the rebound, who cares who gets it FAMS.

    CJ/DJJ/Future 1st for Westbrick works financially if DJJ opts in. RW is 32 and on the hook for 3 more seasons but that’s a pretty all in move. We need a big imo but can u imagine RW constantly pressuring the lane then dishing to Dame for wide open 3s.

    Bet David is a great peraon, coach. But he never struck me as the best XnOs guy. We need assistants that make the HC better not just develop talent.

    actually think they would be worse with that. Damian and Westbrook would be awful in my opinion. Not one appealing thing about it.

    Why do people hate you?
    Why do they hate Westbrook? The guy is a great player. Sure he is a competitor. He also seems to have a rivalry with Dame so to speak but to hate a guy seems like a strong word?

    Do you have some sort of rivalry with Damian Lillard as well?

    I think Dame and Russ would be really good together, and you could basically play two units. I think you'd run a lot of the same stuff that Houston ran with Russ, but the trick would be to get a center that could space the floor with him. If we could somehow ship out Nurk and get Myles Turner or something like that we'd be interesting no doubt. His contract is what makes him so unappealing to me.

    Lol Russ plays his way and no one can change that. He will be the same next year and the year after.

    Russ is the wrong Wizard,,,you want Beale playing with Dame, .Russ is the opposite of clutch in the last 6 minutes of the 4th qtr he forgets how to pass ...he gets a ton of assists first 3.5 qtrs then can't help himself trying to be Dame time...only to be clank time...Beale and Dame would be dynamic and lethal scoring tandem

    I don't base coaching off of purely win-loss record so maybe that's the issue. A lot of people are misinterpreting me not being "thrilled" about it as me absolutely hating it, which makes no sense to me.
