Zombie Damian Lillard to request trade in coming days (nope, he's not.)

Sounds like a pretty extreme penance you got from your last confession.

 

To be honest, I don't even think Dame knows whether or not he wants to make a formal trade request. No doubt he's thought about it, but how is anyone supposed to know what Dame is thinking if Dame himself is not sure?

 

If Dame wanted out, he would go about the right way out of respect to the Organization and Fan's. He's just that kind of guy, dont ya think?

 

I do think that but I still want to here what he'll say.

 

there's only so much of this crap that i can handle. i tuned away from sports talk radio long ago, not going back that easily.

dame better come on quick. End that damn practice, Pop.

 

Can I ask you why you turned away from sports radio? Just curious.

 

These Cats on 750 are annoying. Googoogagaing over Sam Presti, who has turned the Okie Dokes into a pile of poo. Hoping that if we get enough draft picks we might be good by 2035.

 

I wonder what kind of Pizza Henry ordered…

 

sensationalism, ads that you can't skip through, shock jocks, idiots making phone calls, non-news being blown up as major breaking news, etc etc

why deal with this when you can simply download podcasts from people who actually know stuff?

 

For clicks, man, clicks. ESPN just let Abbott's outlet go a couple of years ago. Abbott's out on his own now. for the first time in 15 years.

His website had a pretty good reputation when ESPN bought it, and a lot of good reporters came to prominence there. I can't speak for Abbott's track record breaking news himself, though. He's pretty much a digital marketer, IIRC. And, you've got to admit, running with something like this definitely took traffic to his Twitter and probably TrueHoops page. It's not like he didn't have something to gain by running with something like this regardless of the credibility of the source. If it doesn't play out, he can say either the source was misinformed, or the Blazers changed Dame's mind, or he can just move on to the next story because most people who jumped on his coverage won't immediately jump off.

 

Here's the meeting:

Neil: Trust me

Dame: Show me

Neil: Just trust me

Dame: Show me, then I will trust you

 

A source could be a Jeannie Buss or Mark Cuban ...smart manipulators doing what they do

 

I'm sure Olshey brought up the valet parking before they got down to the nitty-gritty trust stuff.

 

Neil: Proprietary

 

Absolutely.

 

Fair enough

 

Loose lips sink ships.
