    Using the word "injustice" for a stupid thread on a stupid message board is an injustice.

    I don't see it. Sure Kyrie is more injury-prone than Dame, but peak Kyrie > peak Dame. When Kyrie is ON he's the best scorer in the game.

    Makes you wonder why we're not better.

    LA seems is the place that he'd like to go -- he listed the Lakers and Jazz as teams he'd like to play for if he weren't in Portland.

    The Lakers really don't have much. Their young talent is overrated.

    Because you need more that a top 5 PG? SMH.

    Agreed. I like Josh Hart best of the bunch. Ingram - I just don't see it. Kuzma is a poor man's Carmelo. I actually don't mind Lonzo, if he could first commit patricide.

    Ar least you can admit how bad good thread is. Injustice is the right word there.

    If I was the Blazer GM (WHICH I BET YOU'RE ALL GLAD I'M NOT!), Id bring Dame and say were going to give you the super max if you want it. However, We're also going to let Terry go, we just think it's time to get a fresh coaching perspective on this current iteration of the roster. Around the trade Deadline, there is a good chance we will move ET, Aminu or CJ to try to build around you. If in the future you decide you want to leave out of respect to you we will do our best to accommodate your wishes.

    Then I'd go fire Stotts and see what a coaching change does. In a few years if the plans here haven't worked out and Dame wants out then you trade him. I just think trading him because it's a frustrating year is a bad idea. Very few times in the history of the entire league has trading a super-star worked out. It usually just makes you bad for years until you luck out and find the next one.

    Dame has been great, he's been very respectful towards the city of Portland, he reps the Blazers about as well as any player ever has, you don't just let him walk.

    So some in here want to give up on the team, and trade Dame now as a favor to him. You know what, he'd laugh in your face, and immediately would know, what you're made of.
    lmao

    I like Ingram, but not as the centerpiece.

    Hart is a clone of Raja Bell. He'd be a nice asset to have.

    But this obviously doesn't come close to being enough for Dame.

    Let’s do this... time to end the slow painful death of mediocrity this team has become... time to start the new era... Lonzo, Simons, Trent, Collins, Nurk + draft picks... that’s a potential contender in 3-4 years... the current team led by McLillard is a dead end

    I’d like to see what we could get for CJ first and give Dame a chance with some different pieces before I would ever consider dealing him.

    I'd look at Washington to land Beal and Porter.

    That's a terrible trade. Lonzo and draft picks in the high 20s range.

    Lonzo is trash I’d rather trade Dame for a bunch of draft picks

    LeBron thinks Lonzo has start potential... but I guess you have a better eye for talent than LeBron

    Dude, Lonzo has played like crap. That's about as nice as I can put it without breaking S2 rules!

    Really?

    I see it more as you continuing to try to do the same thing and expecting different results.

    Nope! The results are the same. SHMAAACK!!!

    You know we get along better in the OT section anyway. :tongue:

    Dude, Lonzo is a true PG trying to play without the ball in his hands since LeBron is running point
