    This is such a non story. BREAKING NEWS MAGIC DISCUSSED TRADING FOR ANTHONY DAVIS! Of course teams will discuss trying to acquire good players on other teams.

    It’s shear lunacy to think Dame wants to squander away his prime years on a .500 ball club with no hope over teaming with LeBron to win championships... if the opportunity is there you can bet Dame will sign off on it... and he doesn’t care about you

    Exactly. "What would it take to get Davis?" "What would it take to get Leonard?" "Do we have any interest in Boogie?" "Do we have the assets to get Lillard?" And 100 other similar questions. It's called doing their job, and all 30 teams asked the same damn questions. But, you know, Lakers

    Never LaVar. He would go ape shit if Lonzo was sent to Portland. He would force a trade. If there was ever a person who cared about market size.....it is LaVar

    I knew it.

    There is no record of a Steve Watkins at ESPN.

    Fake news.

    It's sheer lunacy to think you know how exactly he feels. Back with the whiney doomsday posts.

    Lakers inquiring.... doesn't mean he wants to go there or is getting traded.

    There is no path forward that will give Dame a chance to complete for a title in Portland the next 3 years... it’s the sad reality Neil is put this team in... either maximize his trade value now or risk him walking in 3 years... or resign him at 31 years old for 40+ mil per

    There's also no path forward that will give the Blazers a chance to compete for a title if we trade Dame for the Lakers garbage.

    3 years is a longass time. Even if we do need to trade Lillard, there's absolutely no urgency.

    It feels like some people wouldn’t trade Lillard even if it made the team better. Just the emotional attachment many have. I root for the laundry not the player. Maybe I’m a jerk. Of course I like some players more than others but if New Orleans wanted Lillard for A Davis I’ll help him pack.

    I’m with you bro... don’t understand some people. It’s all about the team and the quest for the title... players will always change. And if fans really cared about Dame they would want him to win a title instead of wasting his prime years in this mess Neil has created

    WTF? Collins and Lonzo amazing, serious? If Collins turns out to be "Amazing", than he will be "SPECTACULAR" with Dame.

    Are you kidding me... Ball and Collins won’t hit their prime for 5 years... and yes at that time they could dominate... Dame will be 33 making 40+ mil a year... and you hating on Lonzo is ignorant... he is a generational talent, a 6’6” PG who plays defense and has elite passing to make all of his teammates better... stop wanting to hold Dame hostage because you feel you emotional stability depends on him... go get help, it’s kinda creepy tbh
