Jarrett Allen is 25 locked in at 20 mil per for 3 more years and fits the Scoot/Sharpe timeline. Pull the fucking trigger.

It’s time to get the grandfather deal for Dame, S@T Grant, and get Nurk the fuck out of here.

Time to finally clean the slate.

I hope everyone realizes, after these two tanking seasons, we’re going to be fucking bad wheb(not if now) we trade Dame.
Huge fucking mistake…incompetent organization…so glad I got rid of my tickets for next year

Considering we won 3 playoff games same as the Thunder the 2 years prior to tanks, I'm much happier with where we are at now.

If we can win soon with Dame then great. If not then we already have the best assets to do a rebuild with since Oden Roy Aldridge.

Do people think we are keeping Scoot? It seems like a trade would have been announced by now. I feel like this clinches a Dame trade if we don't trade Scoot. I guess Dame to Brooklyn for five billions 1sts.

I think the equation of Portland-takes-Scoot--->Dame-traded is a extremely questionable equation. Especially considering we have not seen what else Portland does with trades and free agency

I'm sure they are crying in their sleep at night because you gave up your tickets(I assume you know this is sarcasm).

More I think about it, I am all for a rebuild. Yes, that means Dame will leave but it is what it is. Every organization has to rebuild at some point, and if we have too it is what it is again. Will Scoot turn into an MVP candidate? Not saying that, but the kid has a lot, I mean a lot, of talent and him and Sharpe is a very tasty backcourt if you will. I have said before: I am all about the betterment of this team as a whole for the long term, not just the short term, and not just to cement Dame's legacy and getting him a ring.

People are being overly dramatic about how we have screwed Dame over, not doing what we said we would, etc. I am sure they have been trying essentially since before the lottery more than likely, to work something out to give him what he wants and that is not over yet.

But again, if we absolutely do not get the value for Scoot that I think we need, then Dame will be traded for some good building blocks for the future and I am fine with that.

Claxton and the Phoenix 1s and some Brooklyn picks will work. At least Dame will be with his buddy.

I agree.

I know I've been perceived by some as a "trade Dame" guy... but while I'd be willing to do so in order to look to the future (especially not to mortgage the future) I don't think we MUST trade Dame. If he is willing to be an all-NBA player for the Blazers for the next few years while we continue to watch our young guys get better and, hopefully, the team continues to improve then that is the best of all worlds, and I think it's actually the most likely outcome at this point.

I don't recall rookies being traded other than on Draft night. Isn't there a rule about it or something?

Wiggins got traded a month after the draft

Huh, OK, good to know. So just so we don't trade Scoot tonight, doesn't mean we won't trade him what, by the end of Free Agency is that when the summer trade deadline is?

That’s the point…put a god damn team together. You think scoot and shaedon have us in the playoffs in two years? I don’t. That totals up to zero playoff wins
 
It took till #10 fora team to take a player as short as what the Blazers did. #SoPortland
 
Ed O -- with all due respect how is this not trying to do the same thing -- HELL he is smaller then Ant and CJ so how --- explain this to me cause your wrong just plain wrong

I have no problem if fans just want to move on from Dame but if these same fans think Dame AND Scoot can be a winner together then your insane and that is a fact and this is a hill I am willing to die on.

If we don’t make the playoffs then we have two more lotto picks. The world isn’t ending in two years. The team goes on.

I think if Dame does go it’ll be in February; he’s going to want to at least test drive this talent

I don't think Portland is done. The Dame-Scoot-Ant-Sharpe-Thybulle back court is way to crowded, and Ant is the square peg

and it's really obvious that the Blazers have spent the last 2 months seriously shopping Ant and Nurkic

Aren’t you tired of being mediocre? Or just bad? Dame is a top 75 player of all time….scoot hasn’t played a minute and shaedon had 12 good games at the end of the season. I think we win two of those games.

Agree that Scoot and Dame are not going to be a championship team. Trading Dame is the next step here. We all love him and will adore him FOREVER but Dame Time = Trade Time at this point.
