I don't really want to trade him, I just know @HCP being the player suck up that he is will tell Lillard some people do and it will trigger an early debut of 2017's Fuck You Tour. A FU Tour that will be even greater than last year's All Star snub.
-Already 27 -Horrible defensively -Clearly not the leader people thought he was -Not a great passer -Takes untimely shots -Is inconsistent, Lillard time has been proven to be a facade statistically -Horrible defensively -Will not magically improve defensively as he ages -CJ is better than him -He will have much less trade value in a few years -Horrible defensively
Still not convinced Damian is a horrible defender. To me, it seems to be the system, and the Blazers lack of interior defenders. I notice CJ getting beat more off the drive than Damian...with Damian, it seems to be about him getting picked.
Dame was masterful tonight, setting up Plumlee for dunks. It's the wrong night to bash Dame. He had a fucking career night.
Every single offense in the NBA is predicated on screens, whether it be on ball or off ball I'd wager over half of the damage done tonight by Boogie was due to the fact Dame would get caught up in a P&R and leave Plumlee on an island Our $120 million point guard gave Boogie 2 wide open 3's with 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter because he bailed in a simple 7th grade high pick
I promise you I am not a troll. The best thing for this team would be to trade one of our two top guards. The rest of our players are pretty much not trade able because of their inflated contracts. And if i was going to pick trading CJ or Dame right now, I would choose Dame.
