    If he did say that, then he can f*** right off. He should have negotiated a no-trade clause in his deal.

    We don't attract free agents anyway. We have no need to cater to his whims to appease the rest of the league. Send him wherever we can get the greatest return.

    Anyone wanna buy some nice Dame Jerseys size 2XL? Hardly worn because I used to only attend playoff games.

    Scoot and Shaedon are our future Ant can get 30 minutes coming off the bench behind those two guys. I think Nurk has to be included in the Dame trade. Again the Nets are the team that makes the most sense because they have a trade exception (actually two) big enough to take Nurk so we could shed salary, they have the picks, they have young players and expiring contracts.

    After drafting Sharpe and Scoot in the previous two drafts? I think we do. You're just too emotional to see it right now.

    Yep. If the team bends over backwards for Dame and doesn't make a move that will help secure their future then I think that will be the deciding factor on where this rebuild will be headed. You can only go as far as a competent front office will allow you.

    Lord knows it’s happened before and every time it happens fans are in an uproar. We technically hold all the power, but in that we also hold any detriment to ourselves.

    Don’t have to trade him, and I doubt he’d phone it in if we don’t. Can only imagine the fan response if that’s the way it went.

    But if the writings on the wall then you would be foolish not to get something out of it.

    This is the curse of Portland. They can never swing a big trade. It’s beyond them—and it’s why they’ll probably never win another championship. In an age when the good players are moving all the time, you have to be able to acquire them, and Portland can’t.

    But people didn't want to believe Dame's words. He said what he didn't want and we did it.

    Damian Lillard doesn't have a No-Trade Clause to waive or even a Trade Kicker. This, he will only go to MIA thing, is bullsh!t. We can send him anywhere. I don't think we would be mean and send him to Charlotte or anything but we should not only talk to MIA.

    Spurs has a lot of cap too. Yes they got some good young players but I don't see the spurs doing it due they came out and said they wanted to see what there young core can do first. But again it's Dame your talking about and it's Pop that's coaching the spurs.

    And there shouldn't be any damn argument to that. I'd be livid if we only listen to one teams offers. We better get at or above what KD got.

    Being mad at Jody and the people that, like, actually influence things (Cronin, Dame, Miami) and attacking them on the board makes perfect sense. Being mad at posters that disagree with you doesn't mean you can attack them.

    If you wanted to draft Scoot and are saying bad things about Dame...

    You're a special type of person.

    What the fuck did you think was going to happen?

    Cronin is ball-less, Dame is going to Mia imo.
