    I have no idea who Dave Deckard is. I can think for myself and speak for myself.

    No need to defend me, sir. If you edit it out, it changes the narrative.

    There is a very good chance that this bruhaha about Becky will diminish her chance, and the chance of any woman becoming a head coach in the future.

    If you were a GM, you could diminish the backlash by just not interviewing a woman in the first place.

    Just blow it up and tank if it came to that. That team above wouldn't be the worst team in the league. Trade Dame to OKC for 10 first rounders if that is where we are going.

    I kind of agree.

    But also, if Dame pulls a 180 here, it would pretty much mean nothing he says in the future can be taken at face value (I'm not saying he has, or whatever, just saying IF).

    Says he wants to stay here, doesn't want to chase rings, etc...but is a little upset that a small group of fucking idiots social media are getting their boners up in a rift?

    I hope, if it's true he's upset over it, someone just says to Damian "look, those aren't actual fans. Not saying that actual fans of the team don't have concerns over things, but these aren't reasonable adults we're talking about. You don't go to a college kegger party to have a discussion with reasonable people".

    Look at the article they are posting.

    where was this outrage for Jody Allen's misdeeds?

    honestly, I think more fans would stop being fans if they traded Dame, than anything that would happen if they end up hiring Billups (etc).

    Someone should introduce Dame to this little thing called Sativa.

    in all seriousness, he ain’t gonna ask for a trade over this, come on. Billups will be good for him, he knows it. But this should be a wake up call for those that supposedly are “fans.” Leave him alone, leave the whole situation alone. You don’t know anything.

    Update on story from Woj. Apologies if this has already been posted.

    Sure sounds like Jody, Neil and others on the interview panel heard a firsthand account of what happened from Billups and it corroborated the earlier reporting that he wasn’t directly involved. He’s been vetted multiple times by multiple organizations yet fucking Portland fans seem to think they know more than everyone else. SMFH.

    Except, Dame isn’t mad at the franchise.

    He’s mad at the fans.

    Why be loyal to those who aren’t loyal to you?
    And he’s pissed because they’re calling him insane things in his mentions and these are our “supposed” fans. Someone needs to grow the fuck up and it’s not Dame.

    I watched the Woj interview and he said after the second meeting with Chauncey in Seattle...they spent two full days collaborating his story and vetting it carefully to come to the conclussion he was truthful and offer him the job on Friday.....all this bs is coming from Haynes, Cloewnzano and Quick..each .trying to be the first to the dumpster diving contest

    And that's moronic because being mad at the "fans" is like saying you're mad at "Americans" or "Europeans" or tall people. There are many different kinds of people who follow the Blazers and the NBA. If Dame doesn't understand that after 9 years..... which is why this really feels like a bullshit excuse to get out of Portland without feeling bad.

    If he's mad at the fans, he's not mad at actual fans of the Blazers, and those fuckers would be ruining things for us.
