    Lillard would choose GS simply because playing in the Bay for the W’s would be a dream come true for him.

    NO! No deal.

    Can we just pay you $100 to ban them both?

    So keep him around to mentor the young guards and rehab. See where we're at during the deadline and he's closer to returning. Have the verbal agreement that if he wants to go elsewhere at the deadline, we'll trade him there or by him out. That's no downside, it does him a solid, has him around the team as a great vet for a young locker room.

    he gets all the benefit from rehabbing paid for by a team instead of out of pocket

    Yeah, it should work out well for everyone and would show that management wasn't out to get him.

    And if he declines that's fine too.

    Please. Kobe employed the same pilot the entire time he was in LA. That was his guy who did what he was told. That doesn't excuse his culpability, but he wasn't calling the shots.

    Ok that makes total sense now - Kobe is a drunk driver because he had a pilot fly around his daughter.

    Well he did grow up there. I mean most are saying it's about the players involved but that is also his hometown area.

    But you see lillard has one of the very best work ethic attitudes out there. It's been said nobody works harder than Lillard. That is exactly the kind of thing young players need to see. they need to see a perennial All Star player that has nothing to prove to anyone working every day as hard as he possibly can to get back.
    You know as well as everyone else right now Lillard thinks he will get back on the court. Damian Lillard will not be denied and that is exactly why he should be allowed to rehab at the PF in front of the current team.

    Thanks. I've just always viewed him as a professional and we all know he's going to try to get back on the court at some point.

    I know this. Dame wouldn't be happy only having to play half the games. Would find a way to the Moda regardless of snow and Ice and wouldn't make his back sore sleeping on an air mattress for three months.
    Thats for damn sure! Lol.

    Would be amusing if he goes to the Celtics and they win again next year when Tatum and Lillard are back - it would be a replay of the Jrue moving to Boston from Milwaukee (via PDX)

    We already have that in Jrue.

    We should set up a special box just for Brandon Roy, Greg Oden and Dame. Maybe LaMarcus gets to use it, maybe not.
