    If Lillard is going to pull a Kobe Bryant and run the team, may as well trade him now.

    So basically we have to figure out how to make him the second best player on five championship teams.

    Rod Higgins begs to differ. Until a recent falling out, Higgins had a very long, successful career as Michael Jordan's best friend.

    Mo could be a quality individual. Maybe he's great with charity work too. But this isn't about friendships as much as it is about winning.

    We cannot go deep in the playoffs with Mo playing hero ball. He's not consistent enough to count on.

    With that said, I suspect Lillard knows this and Olshey doesn't have to smooth anything over.

    Mo didn't leave. He was stolen from us by Minnesota. Damian should take out all his anger on the Timberwolves for their thievery.

    If dame is indeed on the cover of live then it will speed up his becoming a household name. Any team would kill for him and it's better to keep him on our side than try to win him back.

    From here on out if dame feels like he can win with _____ player, then I say we give him what he wants. If there is any regress then I understand going against his preference. This season there was no regress, I can understand him not being happy about the team not keeping mo.

    Dame is probably gonna take the qualifying offer and become an unrestricted free agent because we let Mo leave. :(

    We can always trade Batum for Mo.

    Problem solved.

    I really, truly, highly doubt that one person leaving is going to sway anything. Dame is a smart dude.
