    I'd like to hear Damians response. Has anyone tweeted this to him yet?

    I can't believe no one has hired Smith to be their GM.

    Man, talk about not understanding how Lillard is wired. Chris Paul, James Harden, Russell Westbrook? Yeah those guys would punk the small town that drafted them and demand a trade to brighter lights if they weren't getting All-Star accolades. Dame's like, more wood for the fire. If you don't recognize how good I am, that's on you.

    I can't find a Seattle option on the ESPN Trade Machine. I must be doing something wrong.

    Um, being in a small market means nothing to coaches that select the reserves. The West just has too many good guards and someone has to get left out.

    I remember how butthurt SAS was in 2007 when Portland won the lottery and Seattle got the 2nd pick. Claiming how awful that was for the league because they weren't far enough east.

    This is a guy who literally thinks the entire world revolves around New York and Philadelphia. Dame should "demand" a trade like Smith should "demand" a brain.

    The inevitable national sports media's chorus of 'should (Player X) want out of (Small market city) cause they can't get any respect there?' I have a feeling this is going to be a theme on ESPN in the coming weeks as we get closer to the All-Star game. The blazers as a team will be expectedly mediocre but with dame averaging 25/6/5 the last 3 years and still not making the team... The snubs are becoming really glaring at this point. Writers will search for reasons to explain it and there is only one left.... Portland itself. All-Star is no longer a title for your quality of play on the court as much as it is a popularity contest, and if Dame really wants some recognition for his hard work (which most people do but Dame may not) he will have a VERY hard time finding it in Portland with the way the rules are set up.

    Well, a mediocre Pelicans team just put two players in the West Starting Lineup, so... maybe there is something to it after all.

    FUCK YOU STEVEN A.

    So what you're saying is, since Dame doesn't get fan votes for the STUPID All Star game that he should demand a trade...

    Make fucking sense...

    Steven A says:

    WE don't give this man the respect love :blahblah:

    He's completely right.

    The media and the rest of the country doesn't give Lillard the respect and love he deserves.

    HE GETS THAT FROM US THOUGH.

    SO make fucking sense when you talk or just don't talk..

    I don’t understand how that loud mouthed idiot has managed to stay on television and radio as long as he has.... every time I cave and listen to his takes, I feel less intelligent and a little dirty afterwards.

    If making the All-Star game is important to Damian, then SAS isn't wrong . . .
