Zombie Damian Lillard to request trade in coming days (nope, he's not.)

Who isn't?

We got the sauces!

 

They should go back to sleep.

 

S2 is that “special sauce” seasoned with 11 secret herbs and extra-spicy angst.

 

In this day and age? It probably doesn't matter.

The news cycle works so fast. People follow him and tomorrow there'll be another story. By the time "in a few days" comes and goes, no one will remember that he reported Dame was requesting a trade. No one will be going down their follow list to delete him.

 

I watched Dame's presser again. For those of you that think that he was saying that the team has until the beginning of the 2022-23 season to make the changed he's looking for... in fact if you think he'll be cool if we don't make a major move or moves by the time training camp rolls around... you need to listen to or better yet watch the presser. The word he used was urgent, he said, "this year it's more urgent" in regards to adding the players that make this a championship team. When asked if he was committed to the upcoming season he said that, "right now I don't know what I want to do." he then went on to say he would prefer and always wanted to stay on our team.

What I'm saying is that it is obvious from what he is saying and the fact that he even went this far in addressing this, that if he gets back from Japan and the direction of the team hasn't changed significantly he will demand a trade and expect it pretty immediately. We wouldn't hear that initially but if Neil tried to make a power play behind the scenes about Dame being under contract... then I think in a very classy way, Dame would go public.

 

Here’s what was just told to me

Take it with a grain of salt, but he nailed the assistant thing and the Lionel Hollins interview thing, so…..


1. Chauncey and Neil did indeed talk to Dame. The plan was for Chauncey to lay out how the current team would have played against Denver. How the offense, with more ball movement will help Dame, along with defensive strategies

2. Neil was to lay out how he plans to improve the roster with a type of player, rather than specific names. Also a clear plan moving forward


That’s what I got. No idea if that’s what happened, or how Dame received it


Sorry to piss people off with vagueness, if people don’t want this type of info, which is all I can get right now please let me know and we can all wait for more clear info

 

I know some of us will make jokes at people with sources occassionally, but, at least for me, I always appreciate any tiny tid bits people receive and choose to share. It at the very least gives us something new to speculate on. So please share away.

 

Thanks for passing this along. That all makes sense.

 

lol

 

Oh god mediocre guy doesn’t have sources lol

 

This is a new and interesting response

 

No idea

 

Lots of Liquor?

 

Neil’s plan probably revolves around landing Aminu and Tolliver.

That’s his M.O. and you should totally expect this type of movement from Neil John Nash Olshey.

 

We lose out on some ability to salary match by losing Zach, but I also imagine we keep most of the core, Dame, CJ, Nurk, Roco, and the type of player is a Jrue Holiday style trade, giving up salary matching and future picks.
But yeah, as to the "type"...who knows. Smallish scoring guard, offensively limited wings seem to be the Neil special, so...
