    I also root for the team, even though it makes it a lot easier when the guys seem like good dudes off the court like right now.

    That being said, if on February 8th the Blazers announced that they traded Lillard for Westbrook I don't know how I could convince myself to root for that guy.

    I stuck around after Andre Miller was swapped for Raymond Felton...if ever I'd have stopped being a Blazer fan....that was the test...didn't work though

    That would be a bit difficult but trading for the reigning NBA MVP would be the greatest trade in Blazer history.

    Anybody traded for Lonzo Ball would be a test of my fandom

    Would be a huge coop (in the nba and the public's eye) yet trading Lillard for him would not make us a better team.

    There is none. I might not be a fan of a player, but I'll always bleed Portland and I'll always bleed basketball, so I'll always bleed Blazer Red.

    I don't think any player could take my fandom away from me. I mean, I became a fan during the jailblazers era. If I could become a fan during that time, there really isn't much that could shake it.

    I get why people hate Draymond but he’d make us a contender.

    At least pick someone that’d make us worse lol

    Draymond is probably my least favorite guy in the league. I would cheer him as a Blazer instantly.

    Yeah. That's probably the only candidate for me too.

    I can't imagine ever turning on the blazers because of a player I didn't like.
