    How is this thread only 2 pages long?

    Thank you Dame for some seriously amazing moments! I appreciate all you have done for the Blazers community! Hopefully you come back and retire as a Blazer!

    He hasn't been traded yet but I hope he's happy wherever he goes when that happens.

    sheed still my favorite blazer. Real as they come. He signed my e-40 cd. Used to see him at Wilsonville BK on lunch break all the time. Talked some shit to us. But he was always chill as shit.

    I'm still waiting for an actual statement from Lillard explaining his decision after all the passive aggressive BS of the past year or two. I sincerely believe he owes the fans that at a bare minimum. Prolly just me, but the fact he appears to be laying low is very telling. I'm struggling to maintain my respect for the man for the way he has handled all this....and continues to "handle" it..... And I think he owes guys like Durant (and the other ring chasers he's publicly dissed over the years) a very public apology.

    The idea that Dame suffered and sacrificed for 11 years for this team is BS....he was given the keys to the team as a rookie, pampered, paid a half billion dollars, beloved by the city and empowered by the organization....feeling sorry for Dame is misplaced affection. Signing a super max and taking the bag out of town is not what the man has proclaimed to be made of. I enjoyed his era here but not the ugly exit. Maybe he's right and this will get him a ring and make him happy...it sure bummed out Blazer nation. Me included.

    I gotta say Riverman you are surprising me in the sense (and in a good way from my perspective) I thought you'd be a staunch defender of Dame almost no matter what - my bad and I agree with you.

    Well fucking said, my man. We are in tune here (and about to get deleted and banned from this thread).

    He should get a lot of cheers and appreciation from us when we face off during the season.

    Should get the respectful MVP chants at the line.

    I asked in the other thread if we would boo him and maybe some will.

    I’d be disappointed though, and if I were there I would be cheering.

    I mean if it’s a close game forget about it obviously he’s gotta earn them at the line and I want us to get the W, but if he’s absolutely destroying us then I think I’d probably just feel like… “MVP…MVP…MVP”

    it was casual enough convo I didn’t know if it was green font or not. I seen pictures, we’ve met in person, it could have been you just not go in that bathroom. I figured it was a joke or sarcasm in some form…
