    If Giannis wants to do fentanyl then he will absolutely love Portland.

    Maybe Giannis enjoys picking up other people’s trash during his time off the court. If so, Portland will surely be an attractive city to him.

    Sorry for the Snarky response River… I had to

    Sign a massive extension in your 30s. Demand a trade. Don't work out.

    Sounds smart.

    As big of a Dame fan as I am -- if this is true then shame on Dame but to be fair besides the Blazers thing his marriage was going sideways too so I will give him a little leeway but still not good.

    Well, the reasoning makes sense. He didn’t want to get hurt and potentially block a trade. But to me, this is a sign of where Dames head was at. How long of a break did he take in the past?

    Ah. My bad. Thanks for reposting it.

    Ain't gonna sweat Dame, he has it rough right now (even with hundreds of millions in the bank, he's a human and this shit is gonna effect).

    It's hard to know without having more historical info (and specifics) but (a) he's getting paid whether he got traded or not, so he owed the Blazers his best IMO, and (b) as we get older, injuries are more likely and breaking routines in the offseason seems like it's practically begging for injury issues.

    Ed O's timeline was missing some context:

    * Signs max-contract extension
    * GM tells him repeatedly that he will build a contender around him
    * GM does the opposite of building a contender around him
    * Marriage falls apart and the wife he shares 3 children with asks for a divorce
    * GM drafts a PG at #3 in the draft and adds another rookie at #23, 4 months after trading Josh Hart
    * relationship with F.O. gets ugly and he asks for a trade from the team he hoped to be with for his entire career
    * both personal and professional lives are filled with uncertainty, chaos, and distraction
    * isn't able to maintain his established off-season conditioning routine

    * some fans who have trashed him a ton, find another excuse to trash him some more because of what Doc Rivers said
