    Because I root for the team more then any one player. How is that hard to understand?

    Dame is awesome in many ways, but he's not young, this team doesn't seem close to contending & their best two players play the same position. We all can see it, I'm sure they can too. I'd expect them to explore trade options for both Ant and Dame this offseason and hope they find a deal that they really like. If he's dealt, I'm sure it would be for something the fanbase could be excited about, there's no gun to their head. Also, I can't imagine them moving Dame to a situation where he wouldn't be contending. Regardless of what happens at the end of his career, he will always be an all time great Trailblazer and one of the truly class acts in sports.

    Not hard. Trading Dame without going all in on him first however..

    Pretty easy to get Stomped around here for that opinion.

    In my 45 years of Blazer fandom they've yet to consult me on offseason decisions. If someone wants to get bent over my opinions, whatever, I'll likely get a laugh out of it.

    If they can fetch a king's ransom for Ant and others, have some luck in the lotto & round the team into contention for next season, awesome! I can't say that going into any season since Dame arrived that I've felt they've had a legit shot though. It's been a while since I really embraced their personnel moves and non-moves... hoping to start doing that again soon.
