    Neil…


    AT LEAST come out and say you won’t trade Dame to LA!

    Laker fans are losing their minds on Twitter over this.

    LA has nothing to offer us.

    This has likely been covered as nauseum, but Dame put it into the media that he wanted Kidd or Billups and Kidd said no. Kinda hard to negotiate out of that…

    I knew it when he got hired and said “judge me by the performance. I’ll worry about the salaries.” Or some such Bs nonsense.

    As soon as Billups was a candidate I started seeing posts and articles about the accusations. It's been very public from the start.

    It's been a long time. I'm not interested in punishing people for life over accusations, but I didn't think Billups was worth the PR risk.

    To me it was just a dumb move, unless he's the next Pop/Phil and we can actually get enough talent to make a championship run.

    thought this was interesting and not posted

    fwiw, this guy had Harden demanding a trade before anyone else.

    Neil needs to go and the team needs to get sold. You can tell that Paul's death has really put us in a tail spin.

    It’s lovely to see you back posting. Maybe you have been and I’ve missed, so maybe it’s just lovely for me to see you back posting?

    I'm good with Billups. Hopefully this PR nightmare will get Olshey fired next month. Billups (on a brand new contract would remain).

    From what I saw on BE this weekend before being banned for comparing Jody Allen’s harassment and groping settlements to the one-time Billups settlement, I can’t really say he’s completely wrong.

    Have things quieted down today? Seems like I haven't seen quite as much nonsense on Twitter. Hopefully everyone involved blew off their steam and now have realized that Dame with Billups in Portland is the best situation for all parties and aren't about to take a flying leap out of the basement window.

    Try to keep things in perspective. Or you'll think giant pigeons are attacking your car.

    I guess I don't see how this is the best situation for Dame. Maybe from a Blazers fan's perspective, but not for plenty of others out there.

    There will be a new distraction eventually.
