    Giannis is one of maybe 4 or 5 dudes that I would actually do that for.

    You're probably also one of those weird people who actually like LaCroix.

    I'm giving an obvious over the top hypothetical demonstrating that yes a GM has plans, but they have to adapt to the circumstances presented

    Also, if both those two blow up early next season (which while unlikely, could happen), Portland could be justified in turning down such an offer.

    I root for the team/laundry. Anyone is available for the right price

    People are just making up phantom straw men to attack for no good reason. Pretty sad.

    It will mortgage also Scoot/Shaedon legacy if we are forced to use future draft picks to satisfy Lillard'S will

    We are hostage of Lillard, it really sucks

    I would love to trade Lillard also because we would finally see who is here to root for the Portland Trail Blazers and who's a Lillard fan boy

    People just want a reason to complain about something. It’s pathetic

    It will mortgage Scoot/Shaedon Legacy? You High. 1st off, they don't have a legacy yet. Second, 5 years does not make a legacy unless you win a championship right off the bat. In that case we're all freakin' happy. Dame Lovers, Blazer Lovers, Sharpe Lovers, and Scoot Lovers. It'll be a freakin' Blazer orgy, there's so much lovin' going on.

    Stuff like this just needs to be merged into one of the many Dame trade threads.

    Except this really isn't a "trade Dame" thread so much as it's a "don't trade Scoot or Sharpe" thread. The two thoughts often merge, but can also be independent.

    Legit talk.......No. None. Just some "what ifs" I can see a slight possibility for Scoot, but certainly not both. Joe seems to be a rationale GM
