The 2022 Trade Idea Thread, now with more urgency!

I love Dame. He's my favorite Blazer ever, but what possible reason is there to hang onto him? We're not going to build a contender around him before he loses a step. He's already starting to show some cracks in the foundation. He's expensive as fuck, he's getting old, and we're going to quickly lose out on the massive haul that we could get for him right now.

I want to see this team win a championship in my lifetime. I missed out on the 77 ship. I saw us get close multiple times. I want to have a fucking parade dammit. I love Dame but I love the team more. We're basically doing what the Lakers did with Kobe at the end, but Kobe got them multiple rings. We haven't won shit with Dame, and that's not his fault, but there's no reason to keep him around just or the nostalgia.

We have some promising young guys in Nas and Ant. We have some nice pieces we can move for other young talent. You people who think we're going to magically put together a championship caliber team overnight are just delusional. I don't care if I'm a broken record. I'm a fucking broken record because this has been our reality for the past THREE YEARS.

 

My dad might die from COVID and my 18 month old daughter is fighting a stomach bacteria that could kill her if we're not careful. Do you think that makes me emo about what people post on this forum? Either detach your emotions or don't come on the site.

 

Bro, I'm sorry for your difficulties and hope they pass soon, but also you don't get to tell me what to do.

 

My point is that you don't know what anyone on here is going through. I post my opinions on here, and frankly if there's someone I disagree with I just skip over them. If you feel that way about me, that's up to you. I'm not going to filter myself or change my opinion because it annoys a few people. It's my opinion and I come on here to post my opinions.

 

It would be extremely boring if everyone had the same opinion. That's why we have Forums, to discuss and share opinions and to convince other posters of your argument.

 

To get everyone back on track….

and to intentionally piss everyone off…

Nas/FRP to OKC

Dort to Portland

 

fuck no

 

You keep insisting we lose, Nas, Nurk and Powell for nearly nothing. No.

 

It worked

 

The ONLY thing I’ve said about him is he is unlikeable to me. Some people are unlikeable for being dirty (Laimbeer), some for being selfish, or a bad teammate, or a myriad of things. I’m not comparing Simmons to Laimbeer because of their style or whatever. I’m comparing their likeability. I don’t want to have to root for a guy I simply do not like. I don’t want Greyson Allen here either.

 

I felt that way about Scottie Pippen. Kinda felt that way about Steve Smith too. These were guys I had actively rooted against in earlier seasons so it was an adjustment but they got us close to a title so you gotta be happy with that. You'll like Simmons once he's on our team because the team will be better because of him.

 

you have a woody for Dort. He’s a good rotational guy. Solid defender. Not moving MY needle.

 

Last time I saw him, Dort was in Draymond, Wes kind of player area. I'd love to have that energy in the team. But not for Nas, who is exactly this energy kind of guy.

 

Do Not Underestimate the Power of the Bruce Bowen Side.

 

I kinda want Simmons just to watch the game threads become a Pro-Simmons v. anti-Simmons battleground

 

I guess I cant compare someone intentionally causing a potentially career ending injury ti someone sitting out with no pay due to feeling alienated by teammate, coach, media and fans. They seem completely radically different in every way. I don't see anything like a moral equivalency between the two. Its like robbery vs Murder totally different despite both being bad. Sorry for being a dick fwiw.

 

You disagree with people and mock them all the time bro. Lol. You literally did it to me which is what this response thread is about.

None the less none of us know what others are going through. You are absolutely right about that. Im sorry for your hardship brother and I hope things get better especially with your family’s health! Take care and be well.

 

I want it so we can have Blazer ads touting the exploits of the Law Firm of Simmons, Simons and Little.
