    Insult me all you want. We've gained 300 subs the past 2 days, by the way.

    Won't have to if he's playing next to a couple of other stars. Fingers crossed we cash in again next draft.

    If they get a 3&D wing or athletic center for Dame, yes, play-in team. Sharpe in his second year will be better. Simons as the sixth man is a better fit. Look at the way the Blazers played during the tank with Simons running the offense, and now you have a playmaker who potentially can run that style of offense.

    The irony is, they couldn't build the team around Dame but it's looking like they can build it without Dame.

    The future is bright in Portland.

    The backcourt is looking good. The front court is way below average. I think Badji has potential, but we need a LOT more length

    Not necessarily. I would prefer a top 5 pick to add talent to our young guys. But look at the Jazz last year. They moved off Mitchell and Gobert and were decent.

    This only way the blazers can ever get better is really just and start over. There on there with decent draft the last 2 years. Grant was positive resigning. Now let's see what we going get from a Dame trade to help further the progress. But we to do the right way. If Dame goes to Miami then Martin must be in the package coming back if not you wait or strike with someone else.

    The list of teams that have interest in Lillard is predictably long, and it’s known to include Philadelphia, the Clippers and Utah. As Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes reported, a third team would likely be necessary in a deal with the Heat. Miami would likely send guard Tyler Herro to Portland in a possible Lillard deal, but he makes little sense on a Blazers roster that is loaded with guards and would likely need to be re-routed to another team.

    wut?

    how many wins did the Blazers get in 2023-24, 2024-25, and 2025-26? If you don't know yet how can you determine the Blazers have done a good job without Dame?

    Amick also said Dame had a long convo with Billups late last night after which he made the request hours after through Goodwin.

    But we do know how many wins we got in the last 4 seasons, and it wasn't as many as the losses we had. So maybe it's best all the way around because it wasn't working the way it was going and sure, we could have given away the farm for an OG type player....and that might not have been enough and what if Dame still asks to move on if we go 1st round and out....AGAIN.

    Clyde was traded. Roy tried to make a go of it in Minnesota but really injuries derailed him. LMA was traded. This is what it is like being a Blazer fan. I have gotten through it before. I will get through it again.
