Zombie Damian Lillard to request trade in coming days (nope, he's not.)

FUCK REBUILDING. That's loser talk. The Blazers need to find a way to get it done, or get out of the business. I'm sick of all the defeatist garbage. Make moves and improve. NOWWWWWWWW.

 

That would make him the first in history to say it formally in a public setting.

 

Lambo or Food Stamps. No in between.

 

Dame found his best friend dead during the pandemic and he called CJ first and CJ got there right away to be there for him. Dame may have realized that him and CJ aren't the best for each other on the court but their personal friendship hasn't been overblown.

 

Nurks attitude with regards to winning (compared to CJs) is much closer to Dames

 

That's like watching your hot ex-wife or girlfriend having the time of her life with a total douchebag. C'mon man!

 

If Dame's leaving the team, he doesn't care what Portland gets back.

unless dame told nurk that hes staying, nurk is taking a huge risk here, hed be destroyed on social media if dame requests a trade

as close as they are, i dont think dame is talking to nurk about everything hes going to do (maybe something)

 

This is a great point...Chauncey came out and gushed over Nurk and how he wanted to use him as a bigger role...Dame loves Nurk...Chauncey loves Nurk....this is a good selling point. Nurk and Dame are like family...vacation together...share a lot..I see them as a big part of our core identity for the next chapter of the Blazers...I'm convinced Neil re-signs Norm and trades CJ for a PF or wing...I also think CJ plays better without Dame....he needs to be a franchise player in the east...make the allstar team and build his own brand

 

Simmons/Thybulle/Maxey and we’d stay afloat.

CJ out with Norm locked up should be a priority too.

 

who is nate jones and what that means

 

He might care about showing the franchise one last bit of loyalty and not fuck us over, if they are willing to put him on a contender and not try to fuck him.

 

Yep. For better or worse, Dame and Nurk both run a lot hotter/colder than CJ.

 

nate jones is dame's business manager with his agency (Aaron Goodwin) has generally parroted Dame's mindset among all things bball.

Wells P was commenting on Abbott's article this morning citing "a source close to" Dame.

 

if the blazers trade dame and plan to stay relevant, id rather trade for a forward

keep cj mccollum, resign powell, add forward, roco, nurk

thats still playoff team

 

Dame isn’t stupid btw, he and his agent know he has no leverage. His Supermax hasn’t even kicked in yet and he has no options until 2024. The blazers wouldn’t be obligated to trade him just because he asked for a trade. Players that have asked for trades in the past usually do it at or near the end of their contracts, not before it even begins lol. What’s he gonna do if they don’t trade him, sit out? Please, that’s not like him at all. I’ll stand by what I’ve been saying until I have real reason to believe otherwise; he’s putting pressure on Olshey to build a better roster because he wants to win, and he wants to win in Portland. I see nothing wrong with that. He probably should’ve done it sooner tbh.

 

I hope so

 

If the unfortunate was to happen, I keep CJ all day over Norm. CJ has upside. He needs to stay healthy.
