    I don't need instructions on what it means to be a fan of a sports team. I've been a Blazer fan since Petrie & Wicks won back-2-back ROY's. That's stayed steady over all the high's and low's; the injuries and blown opportunities.

    but I'm definitely on the edge of not giving a shit. I'll say again, if Dame demands a trade, it's Olshey who gets to trade him, and Dame is gone while Olshey and CJ remain, I'm done with the Blazers until major changes are made. I think Olshey is the worst kind of GM; and I think right now, Portland has one of the worst kinds of ownership. Currently, there's nothing to like or be optimistic about either management or ownership

    my 'fandom' is not unconditional

    Good luck to you. Your team has a much higher chance to contend.

    Melo was fun but he and Westbrook are negatives to a team’s success. LeBron is really old. AD is always hurt. First round exit again.

    Exactly. Neither Lakers or Blazers are contenders right now.

    You guys realize we could’ve traded for Westbrook too if we wanted to. Wizards would’ve taken CJ in a heartbeat. So let’s not go praising the Lakers for getting him.

    Nobody is praising the Lakers for getting Westbrook.

    Dude. We all fucking laughed at the Lakers for getting him. Dude is a joke and a team killer.
