    I don't think anyone is advocating trading Dame for a bunch of mediocre players. He would get much better value back than that although equal value for a star/superstar rarely happens.

    I'm more more on board with the Stotts/CJ part. The broader point was that something needs to change at at some point if things continue as they are, that may even include Dame. (Sadly)

    Dame is our Reggie Miller.

    agree. It could take years to get another baller like Dame!

    No, you want to rebuild. Not continue to suck until Lonzo leaves and we rebuild again.

    You must own one of these cherry pickers:

    The game before that, Bazz had 11 points. The 8 before that one, he scored a grand total of two points.

    Some might say those sound like very Seth Curry numbers. But then, Seth hasn't put up a 32/7 game yet... Shit, he might not even have 7 assists on the season!

    You keep Dame. The guy is one of the top 10 players in basketball. We'll not find another one of those laying around. Also I think it's very likely that he takes the supermax as soon as it's offered. In the meantime make trades that make it more likely for Dame to succeed and wait the rest of the bad contracts out because Dame is our Reggie Miller. Greatest Blazer ever championship or not.

    I’d trade whoever and whatever I had to this season to get another real star with Dame for at least a full season before 2021 FA. I’m very concerned that if no major upgrade is made that Dame will not talk extension and test FA, which will most likely make us trade him at the previous deadline because of what happened with the Lamarcus situation.

    Umm....I LOVE Dame but I’m pretty sure Clyde Drexler is still the greatest Blazer ever.

    I obviously love Clyde. He was my childhood hero. Dame will go down in history as the greatest Blazers player of all time. He'll have the most points and assists at least. Given a move here or there he may retire with the most wins too.
