    I wish people would read thru the quotes and listen to his comments and the tone. He even clarified yesterday what he meant. We know Dame well enough now to trust him and not get sensationalized by the noise that people like Chris Haynes espouses. He even said yesterday, he was just having a regular convo with Haynes, and didn't realize it would get portrayed like it did with "expletive this and expletive that."

    The purpose of games for teams that are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs is player development.

    So, a Collins Gabriel Nas Trent Simons (youngest non-Biggie, non-GLeague) lineup would make a lot of sense.
    A Dame, CJ, Ariza, Carmelo, Whiteside (oldest) lineup would not.

    I don't really see any controversy here. I think by Dame finding Haynes and announcing his stance is just to
    put pressure on the league to give the Blazers a chance to get into the playoffs.

    Either just cancel the 2020 playoffs and start over next season, or play out the complete regular season and playoffs.

    Anything else smells like another Russian Hoax, and I will not participate as a fan.

    Several posts in this thread claim that Lillard has no boss. In which world? I don't know whether to laugh or shake my head.
