    I don't give a shit what Dame wants, under no fucking circumstances do we trade him to LA.

    Let him sit out the rest of his contract. They have nothing we want and I couldn't stand seeing him in the purple and piss.

    If we come out on the better end of a deal, that's all that matters to me. Can't let emotions get in the way of progress; GMbro is already doing that.

    Fuck that. I'd rather see the Blazers win 0 games than Dame winning titles with the Lakers.

    All of this recruiting is bad for the NBA. I don’t like it. The NBA really needs more players like Dame.

    I hope we don't have a GM with that type of petty mindset.

    My #1 goal is for the Blazers to be as good as possible. My dislike for another team will never trump my love for the Blazers, never.

    What could the Lakers have possibly given us that would be worth Dame?

    Look at their roster ... they have and at the time had, not a damn thing to trade worth Dame! If you trade away a superstar, you don't take back a bunch of spare parts unless you're desperate and with Dame signed on for years to come, NO wasn't going to be desperate. I hope we don't have a shitty ass GM with an idiotic mindset to take on role players and late 1st round picks for an All-NBA player!

    They would have given Kuzma, KCP et al.

    Yeah. No thanks. Maybe some of the young players that the Lakers ALREADY offloaded in their quest to get older, like Randle and Lonzo, but not the dregs they were left with.

    (Yeah, they're doing nicely for the Wiz right now, but I can't see it lasting.)

    In the same article it also says Olshey would “never” trade Dame to the Lakers.

    Wonder if that is sourced or not.

    But if the Lakers don't have anything valuable, and Dame is saying he only wants to go to LA, what do you do?

    It sounded like LeBron and AD weirded Dame out, it seems like they made him feel uncomfortable.
