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

Neil did exactly what forum members screamed about for years here and fired Stotts....he let Melo and Kanter go....these are moves people on this forum wanted...so in fact he does things people have clamored for ..he defended Chauncey's rep when he hired him...seems to me Neil has been doing what a lot of people wanted other than convincing Allstars to come here and play with Dame...that's just being a small market....the only thing I want to see improve is our defense and ball movement...from what I've heard the Blazers are addressing this as a major priority

 

Billups will be replacing his duties next summer lmaoo

 

I'm so glad we got Nance and not a bought out KLove...

 

Haha what, you are not even making sense. If your gonna bitch about the past ok, but if your gonna bitch about what we haven’t done this summer, then go back to the questions I ask. Why don’t you answer those questions smarty pants? Or anyone else that thinks they know how to run a franchise sitting on their couch

 

Thinking Neil isn’t doing anything this summer when you have no idea what the talks are being the scene or what trades he has or hasn’t tried to make, is making assumptions. Actually you just made yourself look silly.

 

lol I have said that plenty. Until today, Cody Zeller was our biggest move. Why wouldn't I have criticized Neil for sleep walking through the biggest offseason of his tenure? And the weekly jabs from Dame and the growing noise from Philly has made this summer toxic as a Blazer fan.

Until now, his additions mimicked the summer he tried to sell Hezonja-Tolliver-Bazemore as major upgrades.

All the criticism was warranted.

 

Dude?

 

I hope Dame sees Ric Butcher’s commentary on why he shouldn’t leave the Blazers:

 

Rick slamin' that little weiner in pink was PRICELESS! Grass ain't greener.

 

Rick also said that Dame wasn't on the highest level because of a lack of commitment to defense. I think Dame takes on that challenge and ups his game to the League's highest level. Defense is the only thing he hasn't mastered in the game. THE TIME IS NOW!

 

This plus Dame's investment in Portland is way beyond basketball..he has several businesses in his back yard right now....he's not trading that for a brownstone in Brooklyn anytime soon.For what it's worth....Kevin Garnett killed the Wolves franchise to go ring chasing in Boston.....what's the great achievement in that?

 

The thing that's funny is, most of these media guys have never been to Portland. Never seen that it's a TOP 5 NBA town. Never experienced Blazermania. They just don't get it. I've been to LA. Sure the theme parks are fun, but the traffic, smog, fake ness, and entitlement is a total turnoff. And there are entirely too many mutha fucks to deal with. Portland is a great city, with a great vibe. And after living in Denver, Honolulu, San Antonio, Eugene/Springfield, & Cheyenne Wy., no more friendlier people (even today) than any of those other places. And it ain't close.

 

What? If the guy wants to leave what are you going to do? Try to look at the positive. He’ll be 33 or 34 years old. Ah well

 

When @AldoTrapani says, “Try to look at the positive” the world has been flipped upside down………

 

where abouts in denver did you live? Used to head up there often when i lived in colo springs and Pueblo. Used to hang alot in the Lotus. Head up to Boulder until they issued the no smoking out doors things. But this was all many many moons ago. Tons of great memories of living there though. I was primarily at the foothills near Norad.
