    We finally let Clyde go to the rockets after years of falling short to get a championship. Lillard is truly a great player who has been surrrounded by a weak cast his whole career. If he were to leave which team do you think he would likely opt for?

    Let’s see. How do I put this politely and not violate board rules?

    Your thread can go fuck itself.

    Here I thought this thread was going to be about Harden and Lebron taking extra steps.

    He would end up buying the Blazers. But it would be a potential conflict of interest, since he already owns the Thunder.


    (Albeit, a few years back and they won the season series this year. )

    It was good enough for Dirk, it was good enough for Duncan and it's good enough for Dame....fuck the big markets and ring chasers .I like Portland's chances to get it done in the Dame era

    Sure....and Dirk's was an underdog team that pulled it off against all odds....Dame has years to get it done yet although Dirk and Duncan are still connected to their lifelong teams and cities...somebody mentioned Reggie Miller as well who didn't win ...my point is loyalty is not exclusive to Dame.

    Curious how many players that were drafted since 2000 have stayed with their team for 10+ years without winning a title. I'm guessing it's a super short list.

    Dame, Beal,....?

    I looked it up and a total of 50 players have stayed with one team...Oscar Robertson and John Stockton also did it..Stockton never won a ring.

    Stockton makes questionable choices. See his stance on vaccines...
