    A non-running 1975 Buick with a branded title.

    We can trade him to Philly, Phoenix, Lakers, Kings, and the Nets. They can share him and we take all of their first round picks this year in return.

    My take is you dont mention taking calls unless

    A) it's leaked
    B) Lillard wants traded

    My opinion he sees where things are headed and may want out. Just my opinion

    I'm hearing we are close to sending Dame, CJ, and Meyers for Curry and Durant. Tweet it!

    Ah, I love the bullshit days before the trade deadline. Every reporter and every fan trying to get in on a trade rumor, 90% of which are nothing more than the after effects of bad pizza. I have no doubt that the Blazers are getting inquiries about Dame and CJ. I also have no doubt that unless something major is offered in exchange, it goes no further than that.

    I disagree. Lillard doesn't want out he has said so. He is a Blazer for life unlike some other 6'11 pussyfooter who walked away. It's not even a leak just some wannabe sports writer running his jaw

    "Listening" does not equal "Considering". I mean, what are they supposed to do, hang up on people? Blow a referee's whistle into the phone? Even telemarketers deserve "little" courtesy.

    To be honest Olshey wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't listen to calls. It doesn't mean he's even entertaining offers.

    Welcome back?

    If you are going to mention your other moniker in every post you might as well be like "Hey guys, it's me Tunchi".

    It's hard to properly entertain offers when Portland has such poor valet service.

    I don't recall Sam Amico being considered a "hack" like some here suggest (which maybe he is?) but if the Blazers are listening to offers, then I don't have a problem with it.

    That said the likelihood that he'd actually be traded is very, very low (because most of these kinds of trades are rare).

    No, when Lillard and CJ are mentioned, speak loudly into the reciever your concern that there is something wrong with the phone. Keep asserting that the phone is malfunctioning until inquiries about Dame and CJ cease, then return to the call as if nothing had happen. If Lillard and CJ are mentioned again, repeat.
