It seems like Dame has gotten more and frustrated. I know he’s a loyal guy, and he’s a great dude, but if he tried to get out I wouldn’t blame him. Actually I would be a little surprised if he is here at the end of his current contract if he wants to win he won’t be doing it here. Golden State and Houston don’t need him, but I could see him thinking he has a shot if he can team up with Lebron.
fuck this thread....Dame tweeted two fingers and a clock....meaning second time he's lost a good friend on the team...people read way too much into this stuff. Dame expresses regret when all these guys leave....Mo Williams...Dorell Wright...Tim Frazier...Mason Plumlee...Will Barton and now Ed Davis....just shows he's truly invested in his teammates beyond basketball. This whole concept of Dame leaving just adds insult to injury....Dame is the Blazers
Had nothing to do with that tweet. He obviously wants to win he has said that. He loves Portland and we love him too. However he has said he needs better team mates or else he wouldn’t of met with PA in the middle of the season. Portland keeps letting the guys he wants go, and they aren’t even close to winning anything. I think eventually he will want to go somewhere he thinks he can win.
Here's the thing: Dame would be a lot less upset losing his teammates if the teammates we got back could actually help the team
I agree and I’m not advocating trading him. I just really wonder how much that dude can take. At least the paychecks are good.
Yep. It sucks. But that's the time were at because of our GM and owner. Its nervous time. I think Dame is smart enough to understand, however competitive he is, that it's a long shot to beat these guys (warriors), but he also knows that the GM has to get him a team that can compete... so like I said, it's nervous time.
The thing is, Dame is SUPER loyal but Neil has really pushed that this year and last. He did say if he were to ever play for another team it would probably be the Lakers. So who knows. Maybe this team just goes straight downhill this year and next summer neil fucks up more and thats the final straw and he says fuck it I am out, not wasting my prime on this, trade my ass
I am fucking nervous, I will tell you that. I was pretty fine about Dame and him staying long term until I saw we let Ed walk and signed Stauskas. It has settled now and for sure I am nervous he wont put up with it much longer
He is an ultra competitive guy it’s got to kill him to look at the roster and think at best we make the 2nd round?
Umm no I added the LAL thing because he’s on record as saying he would want to play there and he would fit perfectly to Lebron.
I read everything I can find about him and I've never read anything that says this....I've heard Lebron say bring Dame to Cleveland and I'll make sure people know who he is....nothing about the Lakers and not from Dame's words at least that I've ever read or heard
