    The whole shoe deal is icing on a cake that should make us all feel good regardless of who ends up making it with him. Lots of good analysis in this thread already...I think DL takes whatever the max deal Portland can offer (even if 2-3 teams could offer slightly more) provided he has healthy income coming from things like this.

    There are = parts Nike and Adidas in my closet...a Dame branded shoe could be the tie-breaker!

    I still think he'll go with Starbury.

    You should have your own shoe deal, I would buy them. Air Mags just sounds cool.

    Air Sly would also sound cool. If Lillard signs with Nike I'll let him use that.

    You must spread some rep around before giving it to PapaG again.

    Apparently A stood for Australia, not Atlanta.

    I referee games at the Adidas Facility (lovely deal for every game I referee I get a pair of shoes). So I'm talking to one of the execs and I was pretty blunt with him.

    I asked him how the HELL are they gonna give Dame the broke down, re-hashed, ugly ass, OLD Kobe's (exact verbiage). He had no answer.
    I told him Exclusive shoe or Lillard is gone.

    We'll see what happens.
