    But it seems it would really ruin him if he made this claim and he turned out to be wrong. I don't think he would print it unless he was pretty damn sure.

    Dame for Bam+ is the only trade I’d make.

    Fuck the Lakers.

    The landscape of the NBA right now is any contending team can't afford his salary and doesn't have the draft assets.

    Call Boston.

    I don’t want picks, I want young locked up studs.

    I don't believe this rumor at all but if it is a thing then a league where superstars get to pick where they play is going to lose a long time fan in me....Portland earned this franchise player the hard way....through the draft. No interest in a rigged NBA with predetermined contenders

    Jaylen Brown + Smart + Picks works under the cap. Any trade needs to send him East as well.

    clearly didn't. you read the headline. the article speculates:


    outside of a middle aged white dude reading tea leaves from a broke ass rap, where is this evidence of a pending trade request?

    Yeah: if this is legit, the best move might be just to trade him to OKC. OKC doesn't give a shit: they'll just sit on him as an asset and wait until somebody offers something they like for him. Meanwhile they have a fuckton of picks for us. And (on the assumption this is true) it would kind of serve him right to cool his heels in purgatory for a while.

    At least, that's what I'd threaten his agent, if I were Olshey.

    Rooting for Dame regardless. Blazers have been such a let down, terrible management and franchise, mediocre-at-best coaching, Dame shouldn't have to waste the rest of his career floundering. I hope he gets his ring.

    Told ya this for awhile

    Didn’t Dame just say a bit ago that if you don’t hear it from him it’s not true ? Or something like that anyway?

    IF true though, fire Olshey, trade EVERYONE, and start over. Don’t be an also ran and miss out on potential lottery gold……which is how we got Dame in the first place
