    They need to insist on Nurk being in the deal.

    Miami could actually use his size off the bench. I think he’s gotta be in the deal.

    What he didn't preach against joining super teams? He didn't say he wanted to be the best blazer ever. It is a business I Get it, but he talked out his ass for years and does exactly what he said he was agasinst.

    Not going to cry.

    Not going to cry..

    Not going to cry…

    Realistically at least things can turn out alright. Might be the best situation for losing Dame that we could have ever hoped for.

    Miami didn’t even lift protections on the pick they owe OKC, so the most they can offer is 2 firsts 2 swaps.

    I'm shocked....really didn't expect this today at all but it is what it is...better get a boatload of assets for moving him. Thanks for the memories! CJ was right all along

    So glad we chose unproven, 19-year-old, Scoot Henderson over Damian Lillard

    What a franchise!

    I’m so worried about the ability of Joe to get fair value for a top 10 player, that right there tells you he sucks.

    I meant on the super team stuff. Who knows where he actually goes.

    Loyalty needs to be a two way street and our organization fucked him on that.

    Unpopular opinion: great day for the Portland Trail Blazers

    but it's just a start, now we need to maximize the trade, don't send him to Miami, send him to the franchise with the better offer

    Scoot+Shaedon+the return from a Lillard trade

    GREAT START to a rebulding unlike when Aldridge left

    I wonder if this has been known for a while and something is in the works.

    Next course of action is to ship out Nurk. Guess you keep Ant until his contract is up which is looking like a great contract right now.

    Scoot and Shae will be going elsewhere before their rookie deals are done.
    Especially from this point on this team is a junior training ground for young up and comers.

    It's only a great day and start if the assets are worthy.

    I have my doubts.

    Miami is not a super team cause Butler is good and has his moments but he is starting to show his age a little and Bam is good but again not a mega star this is what we should have given Dame in Portland but for whatever reason it never happened. I have my thoughts on that but not going to dredge up the past cause we are where we are.

    oh stop it
    we don't need negativity

    they get to start now without Dame

    it's their team

    do you think they'd prefer to ride the bench with Dame on the team?

    just stop it
