    Dame is getting rather annoying AF with his
    cryptic social media posts.

    This is definitely all about sending a message to the Blazers!

    That's actually pretty funny. Especially that he's prepared to take such a hit to his cred by playing such lame music just to make a point.

    This is where he first realizes what the song is.

    Why do people think we have to trade him to Miami? We don’t owe Dame in a way that we need to take back less in a trade to make him happy. We have made sure him and every other Lillard for 100+ years won’t need to work. I don’t understand anyone thinking we need to trade him exactly where he wants.

    That's the situation we face and I agree taking some package of Herro + whatever would be unforgivable IMO. If we want to do right by Dame as he exits, thats fine but not to the detriment of the franchise. We need to target a young, all star level 4/5 if we can and if that means a 3 team trade with Miami and whoever then lets do it. But if our decision is to move on from Lillard I think we need to get the best deal possible.

    Next question, who are the young 4/5s out there we could target in a Dame trade?

    So many vets end their careers trying to ring chase. Unless you're "The Man" on your team, if you run to another team to win a ring, win or lose, it just looks sad. I wonder if the Reggie Miller model isn't better for your legacy.

    I would actually love watching Dame playing in Miami for a title...love the way they play the game. Would be interesting to see how he adapts to Jimmy's team.

    Just trade him now if he is going to keep doing this. It has to end at some point… no sense in dragging it out.

    If we trade Dame bringing Grant back is pointless. Since Cle wants a wing could we S&T Grant for Allen?

    It’s the same song that Meyers Leonard played when he went to Miami.

    That may be plausible. I'm guessing Cavs would want more.

    I really hope Dame retires a Trail Blazer. Even if he asks out and gets a ring somewhere else, then comes back to PDX.

    Is it posted somewhere what the Trail Blazer’s money would look like if he does leave? I would think Grant would come back without Dame, so it seems like that would be a grip of money not on the books.
