    He’s pass first because he’s literally one of the worst shooters in the NBA among guards.

    Trade Dame for Lonzo, bring Thomas Robinson back, and we get a championship. Easy.

    Per basketball reference 3point % 30% efg 44% ft% 45.1% fg% 36
    Lillard 3% 36.1% efg 51.9% fg% 43.9 ft%49.
    One was also the number 1 option was doubled a lot while the other saw the opponents worst defenders most nights because they quickly figured out he couldn’t shoot...

    Let me get this straight:
    You want to trade the face of the franchise, one that we may never get again that are the likes of him, for a guy you just admitted you havent seen play since college?
    AND you hit Post Reply?

    What?

    I would hate to see Dame go, but Lonzo would be a good value in return. I like Lonzo, CJ, Nurkic almost as much as I like Dame, CJ, Nurk and maybe even more

    Breaking News: Olshey traded Lillard to the Lakers for Deng, Kuzma, and Ball. Could happen guys since Olshey is an idiot.

    There were only 3 rookies this year I’d even consider trading Dame for and Lonzo isn’t even close. Mitchell, Tatum and Simmons maybe depending on what else you got.
    I realize this all just opinions and mine isn’t worth any more than yours, but I don’t even at all understand where you’re coming from on this. Lonzo might some day be an ok starting PG, but he’s still got a lot of work to do to even be that.
    Meanwhile Dame is putting up monster numbers and dragging a pretty bad team to 49 wins and I realize he sucked in the playoffs, but Dame is still a legit nba all star. If we’re playing the let’s trade Dame game there has to be a better package out there than what the Lakers have.

    Neil has his faults for sure. But panicking and going trade happy is has not been one of them. He errors on the side of caution, not the other way around.

    I'm flattered by Lakersground.net. They want to trade for Dame and S&T for Nurkic. Damn, everybody wants to be us. We have a good team.

    If Dame came to NY, I would give up on Portland and just root for my home team in NYC.

    If we can get this trade I would do it in a heartbeat. Ball and Kuzma for Dame? I love Dame but I'd wish him the best

    if Portland traded Damian, I would still be a Blazers fan. But it'd be the Kamloops Blazers instead.

    Thats not to say that I'm a Damian fan first, I'm not. I'm a Blazers fan first. But trading the first player in Blazer 23 years to get the team the public recognition he does, and trading arguably the first player who could become the face of the franchise for decades to come, pretty much signifies "why bother".

    A certain set of posts in this thread bring this quote to mind.
