    I think, timewise, it doesn't make any sense. First step to make this team go up, was fresh head coach. It was way too late, but it is finally for Dame. So, next logical thing is trade for immediate, strong help. The only way, I would believe, that rumor is real is in scenario, where Olshey is out on Mars delusional and really made CJ untouchable. Lillard wasn't his choice but CJ was. But this is silly.
    Other scenario is, Lillard took advantage over Billups thing to get away from this "loyal af" situation, with his head out from Portland since probably early this season, when he saw things are going, as we all knew, to first round exit. If I had to bet in January, I would put my house on fighting for a spot and going out in first. Save bet. Damian made a plan and now, he is going with his plan. If I was him, I would probably think about Oakland. True is, he owns Portland nothing, but good things he brought to the town. Some people don't like him here. I don't know what's the ratio of S2 and BE in Portland actually. If he be back to his roots and make their community better, am down with it. But it's silly.
    Third scenario is, that this is snowball effect of early Damian unhappy rumors, GM games, media games and it's all bollocks.
    "I didn't say nothing (bout the rumors), cos I was at olympics, you know. I had to think abut winning games, not about trades. I am staying, of course I am staying."
    Anyways, I'm jus practicing my english here.

    I've called and texted everyone I've ever had an NBA connection with. The overwhelming feeling is this is not a trade request but there is frustration. It sounds like Neil's "run it back" strategy is wearing thin with Dame.

    I just saw an interview with Chris Haynes from right before his article dropped and regarding a trade request he said “it is not to that point”
