    This team is a lot closer than many think in being a contender. With guys like Dame, Chauncey & Neil all on the same page, with some exciting younger players developing and many all stars wanting to come to Portland, were almost there! Rip City, Bingo, Bango, Bongo baby....

    I better not see any available draft picks for Portland anytime soon. It’s go time. If it blows up, so be it. They owe it to Dame to go all in.

    This is so true. But it's scary that the person handling the situation is Neil.

    im not talking about you. im talking about the question that dame got that you referenced.



    The question (by resident idiot aaron fentress) misrepresented Olshey's comments. This has nothing to do with you.

    Casey really opened the door with the first question and was very diplomatic with the way he breached the topic I thought

    It makes perfect sense that Dame just wants what all of us want. He wants to win a championship here. He wants a better roster around him. He wants Neil to stop coasting and do what needs to be done. He's not happy with Neil being conservative for 9 years, just like we aren't. He's not asking for a trade. He did say he isn't fully decided on his future. Does that scare me? No. It makes sense. He wants to see change and he has the leverage to make that happen. Would you rather him sit around and be quiet about it? He wants to win a championship here. This is how it is done. You have to disrupt the status quo.

    Don't discount Chauncey Billups influence on Dame as we move forward.

    Curious as to how this will affect Dame and CJ’s relationship? Everyone knows that CJ is the tradeable asset to improvement. With Dame demanding big changes, CJ has to know he’s the most likely to leave.

    It's great that Dame is on the same page as the fans, but it should scare you that Neil Olshey is the only one that can fix this mess.

    You quoted my post which was referencing Olshey's press conference about it not being the roster and being the coach. If it has nothing to do with me, don't quote my post....lol.

    No they aren't. It is clear Dame doesn't agree with you in that either. His opinion matters more than anyone in the world right now on this.

    We should see the team trade CJ and if necessary our two young prospects Ant and Nas... and every pick we have to in order to get Dame a second all star or actually all nba level teammate.
