    It's not the only way but like him or not he's still one of the best bigs in the league.

    Yes, it would be so much fun to get to relive the LaMarcus experience again in two years when he's an unrestricted free agent.

    So your suggesting we only go for the mediocre players. Be afraid that the top dogs won't be happy here.

    It is a moot point as Portland does not have viable assets to give in exchange.

    I'm suggesting that Blake Griffin is an ego maniac and he particularly would be a bad fit in Portland. There are star players who don't mind playing in a city like Portland. Lillard is a perfect example. Duncan is a guy who didn't mind playing in a smaller market. Durant doesn't seem to mind playing in OKC.

    That was my point. Dame and CJ aren't "viable" trade assets.

    Right? LOL

    What would be the point of trading one of them for Griffin, and having Griffin but no Dame or CJ? Then having Griffin walk in two years. OMG

    Yes BGD. The fans who don't want to trade our franchise players for a douche rental are the "Damn Fools".

    Riiight.

    Griffin won't be so good when he doesn't get calls anymore.

    Last night, especially in the first quarter, the guy was completely protected. Harkless fouled on one end, nothing. Eight seconds later, Harkless breathes on the other end, Blake free throws.

    Refs watch tape too, and they targeted our most effective non-CJ/Dame player.

    And the refs were still doing it in the fourth quarter. Griffin is flat out protected.

    And don't get me started on Chris Paul holding Dame on every pick, then acting like HE got fouled on the pick, and bitching to the ref.

    Every fucking time.

    I have a hard time believing the line that Dame 'respects' Paul and is on good terms with him. I've seen Chris Paul literally try to injure Lillard in a game before. He's a dirty piece of shit. No way Dame respects that.

    I was going to mention that.

    It was soon after Paul hit Lillard in the face/eye on a pick (Definitely not an accident).

    Paul grabbed Lillard from behind, and Lillard's elbow just happened to jerk back and hit Paul in the face. (Probably not an accident.)

    What was funny though, and I'd have to see it again to be sure, is that at the time, it looked like there was about a 2 second delay, then Paul snapped his head back like he got hit. Two seconds after he got hit.

    Flop City!

    If I was a professional athlete, I would be the dirtiest player in the league. I would literally punch CP3 in the dick when the ref wasn't looking.
