    The dude who said Dame’s only interested in Cali, NY, and Miami can go fuck himself.

    Love Nurk, but I'm not getting the silliness of the name. Maybe it means something obscene in Bosnian.

    With no evidence or follow up. It's a by-line to an article that is completely lacking in info.

    sit back and think this through. Dame's camp is GOING TO request a trade apparently, but then let it leak to Henry Abbott of all people before coming to the team?

    If Abbott's source is with Vulcan/Olshey, then why would they leak it?

    If there's a trade request, then there's a request. This is prognosticating that it may happen in the coming days.

    Makes very little sense.

    A bunch of other twitter sleuths jumping on board and I'll say again... if Dame had already told Neil to get his shit together and build a contender or trade him... what do you think happens if a friend or family member puts the OPB article in front of him and the information about that clown investigator Vulcan just announced they fired?

    I'm not saying it makes sense or doesn't. I'm pointing out he claims it is from a source close to lillard. Says it right IN the article. Seems like you missed that in the article, not me.

    Dame's birthday was yesterday so everyone in his family was around and look at the headlines that were going around nationally surrounding our franchise... I'm telling you that if Dame was on the edge... if he'd already given Olshey an ultimatum... then someone he loved showed him what was going on with OPB and that investigator that Vulcan fired but had been employing. The shit show that was yesterday and has been our M.O. just recently would push most smart people over the edge.

    Shit..

    Portland sports writers sure ain’t what they used to be. Not a peep and those who have spoke on this got their info from Abbott’s tweet.

    Pathetic.

    I'll still be here but if Dame wants out right now it's more than understandable and I'll be following him and hoping for the best for him when it's not against the Blazers. GO BLAZERS!!!

    I honestly don't think he cares about the Billups stuff. This is 100% on the roster construction and embarrassing end of the playoffs.

    Hopefully Dame doesn't take the bait and he let's the shit mongers bloviate on without a response of any kind.

    Dame does his talking on the court.

    :cheers:

    This kind of media fantasy makes Dame the legend he is. And he knows it!
    The Wild WEST outlaws were made legends because of fabricated shit only to add to the mythical icon.

    I you're right, that's a good thing because then nothing has changed since he reportedly told Olshey to build him a contender or trade him to one. So we'll have nothing to worry about.

    This may be just what we need to force Portland to make a big trade—and keep Lillard a Blazer.

    I suspect that has already happened to some extent, due to the team’s support of certain political positions.
