    To be fair, the article did say it was about trades the Cavs should consider, not trades the Blazers should consider.

    This is the difference to me. Kyrie has had the privilege of playing alongside (arguably) the most defense-altering player alive, who also happens to have amazing court-vision. Dame has been responsible for creating the vast majority of his own offense from day 1. Yet their advanced stats are nearly identical. When 1 player is in a harder conference, in a tougher situation, and is equally productive, it's not unreasonable to assume that player is better.

    That and the fact that HCP won't lay off of the refried beans.

    One other word: Loyalty.

    Dame wants to be here. Everybody who thinks that Kyrie is going to plan on playing out his career in Portland, raise your hand.

    "3 Dumbass trades the Blazers wouldn't do in a million years" is not a hot topic. How fucking surprising

    It's a stupid opinion, and if the author thinks it'd be a good move to trade Dame for Kyrie, he doesn't know Portland, doesn't watch enough basketball, and doesn't understand the difference in contract situations, thus making him uneducated on the topic, thus making his opinion stupid.

    There is no point trading for Irving from Blazers perspective. Best case scenario, if we traded CJ or Dame for him (which we would need to to get him), e would MAYBE make us marginally better (and most likely he wouldn't even do that).

    I think he will go to Phoenix. They are capable of putting together the best trade package. He probably wants to go to New York but they will find it hard to find a deal good enough for Cavaliers. Maybe Anthony + Ntilikina/Hernangomez + first round picj but Anthony apparently doesn't even want to go there. New York with Irving and Porzingis would be nice though, I am going to NY for over a week in January and staying 200 meters from Madison Square Garden so even more reason to want this for me (I cannot wait for that trip!!).

    How much more of "Portlands' future" can the fans be satisfied with? If this happened and we get Irving and Chumpert I do not see real advantages for this franchise where we win 10 of more games and progress to the second round..

    Those were fanboi trades designed to help the Cavs, without regard for the Blazers.

    writer seems to just be a closet dame and cj fan who was dying to write an article about pipe-dream ways to acquire them.
