    Says the dude with the picture of the messiah that could have been as his avatar? Seriously unless you got a pod cast you know nothing...
    By the way. When do you leave town again? Oct 14th seems like a ways off? You do televise pre season no?

    You said this: “I get it that people are disappointed that the one guy who always wanted to be here no longer does but that's not fully on him and that change doesn't signify that he's somehow a completely different person now.” And thus one might respond: “That’s his public persona you’re talking about” to which you might reply with defensiveness and fuck words while at the same time saying you know that and yet... Yes, it’s confusing to us too.

    I'm pretty sure the whole Lillard thing is pretty much exactly what you are saying.
    The one thing that has me curious is Chauncey Billups. He has been so quiet. When he does speak he says nothing at all of substance. I wonder if he is one the reasons they went this route as well. I would like to know what his feelings here on this whole situation are? Does he want Lillard back? Does he really want his own team that he created? How long will the fan base stick with him while being a lottery team? Will they spend 4 years as a lotto team building assets just to have the team fire Billups and have a "Steve Kerr" type hire in year 5 then turn the corner and become a legitimate team again?

    After Dames request I heard Chauncey comment a couple times that he stays in contact with Dame. He mentioned Dame was going through a lot and not just basketball related.

    PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS UNO REVERSE CARD

    Sheldon Wohlman of Utility Sports extensively details how this disastrous offseason for the Portland Trail Blazers could turn into a long-term dream outcome IF the Blazers and Joe Cronin exercise patience on the Damian Lillard trade front.

    Yes, Damian Lillard trade rumors are still circling, especially for the Miami Heat... but could a possible Shaedon Sharpe and Scoot Henderson tandem shift the tide in Portland and potentially convince Dame to stick with the Trail Blazers for the long haul?

    (The Uno reverse card in this situation is keeping Lillard to play with Scoot and Sharpe, whose value goes up and the Blazers make a trade for Joel Embiid.)

    Who is this guy for Utility Sports video?

    It is well done even if I think the suggestion of sitting Dame down for a year is extremely unrealistic.

    Very busy nights I'm sure. Maybe they can go to overtime?

    did you know that Oregon & Washington were able to join the Big-10 faster than Cronin has been able to trade Dame?

    It took Oregon 130 years to join the Big 10.
