    What stars are likely to be moved after this playoff? Maybe Butler? Maybe Paul George?

    Well, I mean really it would need to be a trade. I'm not sure if we have the horses to convince Miami or LAC to trade us either of those two stars.

    butler was going toe to toe with lebron just 10 months ago in the finals. why would miami give him up for CJ, especially when they already have oladipo.

    Probably. On the plus side, the dude will probably play as a role player until he's 40 if he wants. Camp him out 30 feet from the hoop and tell him to just wait for the spot up shot. We've never had a guy with his kind of range transition into being a role player. It's going to be crazy the way he'll distort defenses.

    I'm enjoying Superstar Dame, but I'm not exactly dreading Old Vince Carter Dame.

    If Dame is left with only 2-3 years left of his prime, can we ask how his game is going to age as he does? Someone like Chris Paul's game has aged well, but I think we would have to look more towards Curry as a template for Dame. I guess a lot of it may have to do with who the coach is, but it'll be interesting to see how he runs a team as he gets into his late 30's. I don't care too much as long as he's still a Blazer!

    Every year he extends his shooting range so by the time he's in his late 30s he won't even have to leave the locker room.

    I don’t want to see any bullshit about Dames performance in game 6. The guy was Clearly running on fumes. He had nothing left in the tank and still gave us 28 and 13 in this game. Denver was clearly selling out to stop Dame.
