    I think more significant is the fact that when asked who he would deal, SAS said "Whoever I can get more for". I think it's clear that Dame is the one who would have more value, so in all reality, he told CJ that the Blazers should trade Dame.

    What about that white dude (who the fuck is that!?)? He YELLED at CJ "So you wanna be a combo guard!?" He needs a karate chop to the throat.

    If we could use the TPE to pull Lee from NY, I don't think we'd have all that much of a SG issue.

    For like, a season maybe.
    I don't see Lee as being much better at SG than Harkless is at SF. So unless you're trading CJ for a SF who is significantly better than CJ, it's still a lateral move. Wake me up when someone like that is available for CJ.

    Keep in mind English is not the OPs' native language. I think he meant it literally (as in he talks loudly). Being loud is Steven A.'s trademark. Whether they prove to be right, or wrong, his loud, long-winded rants are the stuff of legend. Some find it abrasive. Some find it funny, but I doubt if Steven A. cares much either way. It's good for ratings and I think that's what he (like most in the business) cares about most.

    Skip Bayless, on the other hand, is just an absolute douche with zero credibility and no redeeming qualities what-so-ever.

    I don't know if the Blazers will have to trade Dame or CJ to get better, and neither does anyone else on the outside of team management. I don't have any objection to moving one of them if it actually does make the team better. Trade CJ to Cleveland in a sign-and-trade for LeBron and I'm ecstatic. The thing that always bugs me though is guys getting the cart before the horse and saying the Blazers HAVE to trade CJ in order to get better. You need to know what other options are available that might make the team better without trading one of our top players. You need to have a pretty good handle on what players you're going to draft and/or re-sign and what their growth potential is. You also have to know what the deal is that you might cause you to trade CJ. Without knowing those things, you're just spouting an uninformed opinion.

    Max Kellerman. He's not as smart as Skip and is a worse debater.

    Who are some SF's that we could realistically get for CJ that when combined with a 33 year old Courtney Lee next season would be better than CJ and Harkless?

    He knows boxing. That's about it. His basketball takes are laughable.

    Perhaps, but I've worked with a lot of Germans and they do tend to speak more literally (and more precisely) than most Americans.

    You mean we can't just snap our fingers and trade CJ for any SF in the league?

    He's not a loudmouth as much as he is opinionated
