    Did I really just read not 1 but 2 people who want to trade the healthiest, greatest leader and personality we've ever had in a blazer uniform for a fucking pick? Jesus tap dancing titty fucking christ on a cracker batman.

    Everything i ever needed to learn about loyalty i learned from my german shepherd, and damian lillard. Offer me steph curry, lebron, harden, durrant, and the best blow job of my life in a neatly wrapped gift package for lillard, and ill tell you to eat shit and die.

    You wouldn't even consider Curry for Lillard? That one would at least make me pause. All the other ones, no.


    And then there's Harden. I wouldn't want him if it meant we only gave Houston a lollipop and some big league chew.

    There's absolutely no way that CJ can put the ball between his legs and dunk. He is nowhere near as quick or as athletic as Damian. He does have better handles and that's it.

    CJ doesn't even have better handles, the only thing he is better than Damian at, is that pull up mid ranger jumper/floater.

    I think CJ is better at shooting on the run as well as the teardrop than Dame but Dame has better court vision and finishes better at the rim than CJ

    I think they are both damn good and that is all that matters.

    If CJ hadn't had two years of injury, I think he'd be right at Dame's level

    Steve Blake was pretty damn loyal, too. You could make a pretty good case that he was actually the most loyal Blazer ever. Most guys are pretty loyal right up till the time they say, "it's a business..." Even Benedict Aldridge claimed loyalty and was largely believed a year ago.

    Huh. So he's missed a total of 57 regular season games already in his young career. And not just from one long injury, he's repeatedly injured.

    Damian started at PG from day one. CJ still can't really PG for any extended length of time. But if you just mean in terms of nifty offensive moves, you might be right.

    SEMANTICS. :)

    I don't think that's semantics

    I agree, it is a concern. He could grow out of it. I guess you could say CJ was injury prone until this year as well but I don't consider him injury prone overall like I do Beal currently.

    Really? Cj handles are hella nice tho. I've never seen dame really shake and bake like Cj does he's more power straight line, like where Cj is side to side. But he does have a way better mid range and floater than Dame does

    Now you're just being semantical.

    I am using that word in every post I do in this thread, whether it works or not. :)

    CJ has way better handles and Damian. Damian's ball handling while being very solid is nothing extravagant. Besides his defense, that's probably the worst part about his game.

    How are his handles better? Who would you want out there to escape a full court press? Who is better at taking it to the rim? That's a sign of having good handles.

    Dame's crossover is nowhere near as good as CJs. Escaping a full court press is called ball control not ball handling.

    Yea I think that's what he means. Cj handles are And 1 mixtape style damn near. Dame doesn't do all that he's straight line drive with power than finesse
