    So..... I don't know what to say. I was gonna make a joke that Olshey needs to make that big CJ trade really quickly but now I'm for the first time wondering who it is who will be traded. I feel a little sick.

    Loyalty is always challenged, and the loyal ones never waiver!
    Dame isn't going anywhere.

    maybe he's requesting the Blazers make a trade?

    But if he wants out, so be it. :/

    Dame has always said "if he has something to say, he'll say it". But now, he may have soured on fandom some?

    Not buying it, I will trust his past position on loyalty. That being said if he for some twilight zone reason does ask out…. I am doing what I can to get the #1 from Detroit.

    This is 100% shock, as take a look at the pic abbott chose to use. Abbott is an ambulance chase.

    So the guy who mocked others for ring chasing/super team building, is basically now going to go that route?

    Seems legit...

    So you jumping on that rumor mill band wagon? Tale the opposite approach for Dame sake!

    I think he will. Playing with his fellow superstars on an Olympic team certainly gives him the leads and influences to make that decision.

    Not jumping on the rumor mill bandwagon, the "seems legit" was my way of saying unless Damian has admitted that he was full of shit all this time, it seems far fetched to believe this story is 100% true.

    I'm hoping, if there's any truth to it, it's to either force the Blazers to fire Olshey, OR Damian is seeing who he can trust in his circle.

    I will say this though, the team trades him and it will be a monumental failure for the franchise. Like, massive amounts of fans stop caring about the team levels of carnage.

    I don’t know that they would, but if I am the blazers I want to maximize any possible return. Dame would be seen as a savior with “their basketball culture” to sell the fan base.

    We will see? Dame has always made it clear that he values being his own man and not a follower to super teams. Say's there is more to it than just hooking up with a super team.
