    Also, I would rather go with Dame/Ant than with Dame/CJ. I wouldn't be surprised if this "collapsed lung" will end in a trade. Even if for something like draft picks/expirings

    He falls to the floor more than any player ive seen. A lot of players start going downhill at 31

    Trade Dame he is getting old and get some players and picks back. Have him win a ring somewhere.

    With the team we had to close the game, fouling was our defensive philosophy

    Chris Paul made his first finals at 37......Chauncey beasted in his 30s in Detroit......Dame is just injured...his shots are short...it's not age it's injury

    The bench play well that the positive. Dame shot like shit and Billups took out players that was playing well to put in the starters that lost the lead and game. There was so good individual play by some players but some key players did not play well.

    This was not Billups best game. The lineup change was not successful to start, yet after other lineups got is back in, he continued to revert back to it.

    You don't trade Dame, find me a player who is as good of a shooter as Dame has been his whole career that just becomes a bad shooter. There isn't one. Dame's not right, it might take surgery to get him right or a lot of missed games with treatment but he'll be back.

    I will say this for what seems like the hundredth time this season... we can't win games with Dame shooting like this.
