Or a third, unbelievable possibility. He is a good back up big man, making the better part of a hundred million of dollars. Or whatever the going rate happens to be.

Well, you said That's hyperbole, no need to sink to the levels you so despise. there ARE 10 players more SOBER than lillard though. I heard it on the internet.
In essence, they are doing the hyperbole, I am merely reporting it. I didn't say -I- think. But yes, he is clearly the Oden of our team. Too soon?
I meant let's wait for the eleventh "trade lillard" thread. Then, unleash the hounds with the bees in their mouths.
I'd keep Leonard over TRob eight days a week, even without the financial advantages. The only thing Robinson has over Meyers is motor.
I think the reason he lost playing time is because in his last few games, for some odd reason, he became very tentative about taking his open shots. And once he failed to do it on his first opportunity, maybe someone yelled at him and that seemed to fluster him and he started taking them and missing. Obviously, his defense and rebounding is not good enough to keep him in a game. When he has good games, he goes out there and shoots his first chance and makes it and keeps going from there. The fact that he stopped shooting freely after a stretch of good games surprised me and made me wonder if he had some kind of mental makeup that would continuously self-sabotage. It's a little frustrating to me that the organization has put so much energy in to developing him. (although as I have said several times I think he should have been allowed to play in D-league regularly, as what he really needs is just game situations repeated over and over, to help his decision-making). I say this because once an organization decides to stick with a certain guy (as the Blazers did with Damon Stoudemire for so many years), they tend to pass up on better opportunities. I think the Blazers could have made a move to get into the draft to get a guy like Rudy Gobert or Gorgi Dieng.
I think we should trade Damon Lillard plus two firsts for Conley. Maybe throw in CJ to ensure it gets done. We could toss in Crabbe too. Who else? Let's get this done.
They'd take LA for him, right? Or would we have to throw in some firsts, too? Wish we still had Barton for a package deal.
