    Anyone else think Cade Cunningham is being overrated? I'd rather have Suggs. But, CJ, 7 & 14 seems like too much for either. Although getting rid of CJ's contract would be ok.

    Hey, GS have spent a lot of PR resources building these guys up all season; talking about how they got the best player in the draft and how Wiggens is finally playing really good defense! Comments like yours are not helpful!

    Aren't you implying that CJ is awful as well? If they're both awful I would personally rather have the bigger one.

    I'd rather have none of them.

    Dame is the best player the Portland Trail Blazers have ever had. And I've watched every single one. Walton would be in the conversation had his body held up as well as Dame's. Drexler would be in the conversation if he had Dame's work ethic, focus and poise, or had at least won a ring with the talent he had around him.

    Dame is easily the most clutch player in the NBA. That is obvious.

    There is not one single NBA player that I would trade Damian Lillard to get.

    Everyone witnessed Dame's most recent incredible performance, one of many. Every team wants Dame. If the Blazers were to trade Dame at this point in his career, in the absence of him demanding a trade, I would be done with this ownership and management debacle and would not return as a fan until new ownership and management was in place.

    Dame is a Portland Trail Blazer. These other fans and media whores and GM's who keep trying to get Dame out of Portland need to deal with it.

    Come to think of it, the only reason Dame would demand a trade is because of the performance of the current ownership and management. Therefore, if Dame leaves, I leave.

    Should just pressure Jody to donate the team to the city. Why would she even need the extra money?
