    Lillard is blossoming into a real allstar right before our eyes but I don't see that as any reason to diss LaMarcus. LaMarcus has shown loyalty and won the lions share of games for this team all season. Guy is on crutches now and we are not a better team without him. Every starter has missed 4th qtr freethrows and layups in most of the recent losses. It's a team sport no matter how you dissect it

    trade alridge to OKC, wesley to NO, kevin durant and anthony davis come to portland. it actually works. if we had a line up of lillard, batum, durant, davis, and lopez we are unbeatable with the length we have

    OK, somebody has to say it: is the "pulled groin/back contusion" talk just a smokescreen to cover for his hip problems flaring up again?

    I'm glad Dame is stepping up. If it is more than just talk, there might be a chance to salvage this season. Assuming LMA will actually be back.

    Tl; dr

    PS. One game is far too little to see if his words made much of an impact if Portland gets blown out by 20 in their next game then what?

    He fell hard and was in tremendous pain. WHERE he was in pain is the question.

    lol. Wesley for Davis? That might be the funniest trade proposal I've seen... and I've seen a ton of BGD's.

    Pretty sure they turn down LA for Davis so yah Matthews for Davis even gets rejected on NBA2K

    Re: With two words, Damian Lillard might have taken hold of the Trail Blazers' franch

    Good that Dame stepped up and is taking over the team. It's the natural evolution, and it's as it should be. I want the ball in Dame's hand at the end, more often than not.

    Quick is way too dramatic and makes every mole hill a mountain.

    I fucking hate how Quick can't stop inserting himself into the story. It is possible, and preferable, to write this story without him making himself part of it.

    WTF is Wright talking about, if in fact he said that? Players never work on their games in the off season? Just because Wright admits to being a fucking slacker (explains a lot) doesn't mean everyone is. LaMarcus has worked on his game, improved his game, and added a new skill to his game every single year he's been in the league.

    To be fair, he (Wright) was talking about himself at a YOUNG age... not now. He may be completely different now... that wasn't told in the piece, so we don't know for sure.

    Re: With two words, Damian Lillard might have taken hold of the Trail Blazers' franch

    When players are young they tend to play more in the off season vs work on their game. Remember Outlaw? Zbo? Even Roy didn't do much in the offseason. Wright was talking about that.

    I guess Lillard and LaMarcus are special then. I'm glad we have them.

    It takes IQ to post thousands of posts when you know nothing about basketball.

    I really admire those guys.
