    Never say never. I remember Detroit trading Bonzi Wells days before the season started. And he was a lottery pick. (#11)
    If I were a team like Chicago, I would want Murray thrown in the deal much more than another pick from Portland.

    Chris Paul is done, Beal is decent sure but think its not gonna go as smoothly as they think with those 3 personalities now on that team,Collins is ok one game and horrific the next...

    We will be fine and again if it is a rebuild, well then that's ok too. I don't get dramatic about the sports teams I follow. Do I want us to win? Of course. But I don't let it piss me off like I used too, way more important things in life to worry about.

    Rebuild time ? Fine
    Find some help for Dame? Cool.
    Dame goes and we cheer our fucking hearts out for those still wearing the red and black? You damn skippy.

    Bonzi was traded 7 months after the draft for two future picks.

    What the hell is Chicago giving us that they get Ant plus any of our rookies?

    Problem with a lot on this board is they think they are Fkn GMs and know what is best.

    Rebuild and put a team together for Dame can both be true at the same time.

    if we see Lillard excited and happy after being traded to a win now team, that's what it's all about.

    pro sports is complicated,
    having fun with it makes it better.

    If Cronin actually wants to make moves to get better and has Jody's blessing to spend some money, then keep Dame.

    If Jody is unwilling to spend anymore money and Joe is content with rebuilding, then don't keep Dame.

    Many of you are making definitive statements without taking into account of what ownership and the front office is willing and can do.

    We’re not gonna hear anything real from this meeting.

    If Dame demands a trade, he kills his value. What’s Cronin’s motivation to deal him then?

    So, even if he wants out and Joe wants to deal him, I expect to hear about love and roses.

    Yeah, it was right before the season started as I said. The lockout year. He never played for Detroit.
    Who is Chicago going to trade us for Ant and a rookie.......haven't we been talking about DDR for weeks?

    Lillard has not a lot of value because only a few teams may be interested in his gigantic contract. So if it's only Miami and Brooklyn that are all-in, that is enough for a bidding war.

    Your use of “your” is wrong. It’s “You’re” as in “You are”.

    Yeah, but Dame demanding a trade kills whatever little leverage Portland has.

    Miami tampered with the constant leaks that
    they’re “focused” on Lillard.

    Joe has to stand firm and force Miami to overpay.

    Why would anyone want to trade Dame when he's only 33 and playing his best ball. He's probably the most respected player in the league for numerous reasons and he has 4 years left on his contract.
    When Dame goes into HoF I want him in a Blazer Jersey.

    I'm sure this meeting is just to catch up and inform Dame of what he's fielding since they last talked a week ago. Dame has lobbied for players to come here before he went to France with Grant on vacation. He's just built a new castle here..yeah, I'm not buying the trade to Miami at all..we'll see

    Jiminy crickets….

    I want to catch up on this news.
    I want to come here and click on this thread for real info on this….

    but after reading up so far, many of you are making this simply unbearable…. And it started with a mod insulting another mod…

    Is it finally time to start finding my Blazer news elsewhere?
    … great job forum posting domineering aggressive nonsense…
    Some of you should be straight up embarrassed. (Yeah im looking at you EdO.)…
    …If i actually thought there was any self observance/awareness left in some…

    @SlyPokerDog would you be so kind as to start a new thread on this topic once any valid news is posted? Im not gonna continue to read this back and forth crap so many posters are doing in here…including mods…

    or i can just find a new place for my Blazer news like i mentioned above…
