    You know what's going to solve this? Seven days, and the media and fans will move on from this. That's how this will go away.

    Again, NOBODY talked about this situation with Billups for years!!! If Billups' name was brought up to you 2 months ago as a potential replacement for Stotts, I highly doubt you know anything about this. Because nobody has brought this up over any of his recent jobs. This was dug up from the depths by fake outraged Portland "fans". Dame wouldn't have said Billups' name if he saw this coming. Nobody with a level head saw this coming

    why would they do that, They, including Dame, wanted/supported Billups. The only thing needed here is time for the idiotic fans to get a grip.

    I don't want to see Dame leave, but, at the same time, if getting grief from some people on Twitter makes him feel that slighted that he's threatening to take his ball and go somewhere else, well, what are you going to do? It would be something else sooner or later.

    If this is true, it's unfortunate, but it also would make me see Dame as not being the leader he projected himself as being. Yeah, fans can be crappy. Get traded to the Knicks or the Sixers and see how fun it is if you have a bad week.

    I think he’s forgetting about Zach. It takes big men longer to develop. That’s 5-6 if you include Melo, CJM, Simons and Billups as player coach

    Would be a shame if we lost Dame just as he learned to play defense

    Hell I am from Portland and I will always love Portland and I will always consider Portland home........but after the last few years, I am not sure if I ever would want to move back. Unless of course, someone gave me a 5-year contract

    I really hope so. Tomorrow's PC will be crucial in paving the way for it.

    Some people are speculating that this is Dame taking the opportunity to leave the team free and clear. Not the bad guy. He can blame it on the fans. I didn't want to believe it, but his tweets since we were eliminated sure don't make me feel warm and fuzzy.

    I just moved to OR last month after being away for ~15 yrs or so on the east coast and midwest. What i saw driving on 84 from the airport was shocking. So much graffitti, homeless camps everywhere, needles in waterfront park, WTF happened to my town.

    oh great, one more day of this crap. Wonder how many more completely irrelevant articles will show up on Blazersdge by then?

    Why wouldn't you want to get ahead of it rather than delay it?

    he's not that manipulative, and regardless of how he is on twitter, he's the embodiment of calm and rational off it.
