honestly, I think more fans would stop being fans if they traded Dame, than anything that would happen if they end up hiring Billups (etc).
 
Someone should introduce Dame to this little thing called Sativa.

in all seriousness, he ain’t gonna ask for a trade over this, come on. Billups will be good for him, he knows it. But this should be a wake up call for those that supposedly are “fans.” Leave him alone, leave the whole situation alone. You don’t know anything.
 


Update on story from Woj. Apologies if this has already been posted.

Sure sounds like Jody, Neil and others on the interview panel heard a firsthand account of what happened from Billups and it corroborated the earlier reporting that he wasn’t directly involved. He’s been vetted multiple times by multiple organizations yet fucking Portland fans seem to think they know more than everyone else. SMFH.

watch neil olshey say franchise is not hiring billups, cause he got scared that dame will ask for a trade (olshey, just like everyone else, knows haynes is dames mouthpiece)

dame, you do you, who gives a shit what people think, if they have problems, well, its their problems

Except, Dame isn’t mad at the franchise.

He’s mad at the fans.

If Dame forces his way out now, it's going to massively affect my opinion of him.

Sorry but this is a creation of his own doing. Neil is a shit GM, but I still believe that Stotts was here for several more years because of Dame. I think that CJ has been untouchable because of his relationship with Dame. And now we finally fire Stotts, we hire one of Dame's guys and he's pissed off that people don't want someone who was accused of rape? Grow the fuck up Dame. You kept preaching loyalty and not wanting to join a super team, and yet now that the chips are on the table you're floating rumors about wanting out? Never thought we'd have another LMA, but the writing is on the wall. If Dame continues down this path, trade his ass. Make sure we get something.

Why be loyal to those who aren’t loyal to you?
And he’s pissed because they’re calling him insane things in his mentions and these are our “supposed” fans. Someone needs to grow the fuck up and it’s not Dame.
 
I watched the Woj interview and he said after the second meeting with Chauncey in Seattle...they spent two full days collaborating his story and vetting it carefully to come to the conclussion he was truthful and offer him the job on Friday.....all this bs is coming from Haynes, Cloewnzano and Quick..each .trying to be the first to the dumpster diving contest

And that's moronic because being mad at the "fans" is like saying you're mad at "Americans" or "Europeans" or tall people. There are many different kinds of people who follow the Blazers and the NBA. If Dame doesn't understand that after 9 years..... which is why this really feels like a bullshit excuse to get out of Portland without feeling bad.

If he's mad at the fans, he's not mad at actual fans of the Blazers, and those fuckers would be ruining things for us.

I don’t think Quick has said anything? Wouldn’t be fair to pair him with those two clowns unless he deserves it lol.

truth....extreme left or right, both crazies. One wants to blow up military recruiting centers and the other abortion clinics. Now social media is all based on flash this, flash that, take no prisoners and dont bring up young people with love and compassion rather teach them to get in people face with hate, if they do not endorse or buy into the daily flash.

And who exactly isn't being loyal to him? A small number of people on twitter, many of whom aren't even Portland fans?

Why? Billups is a Great Hire!

they knew what they were getting into, so they must truly believe in Chauncey. I believe in him. Call it a gut feeling because it’s not based on much else, but I think he’s gonna be a good coach. Now if these dumbass “fans” would let him do his job, or at least wait until he has a chance to speak, that’d be great.
 
A different thought and perhaps some hope:

If this all falls on its face.... does olshey get fired before the season starts?

Let it change your opinion of him, fine. But this isn't on him. This is on the trash bag virtue signaling douchebags online that call themselves Blazers fans who drum up problems that arent there for online clout. I dont blame Dame one bit for wanting out after the last few days

Lol? It’s not a small number of people.
And they’re very, very vocal.
And there are plenty of *actual* Portland fans who are @ing him as well sending him crazy stuff.
If it was a “small number” do you think Woj would’ve really had a segment on it in the NBA countdown? Come on.

Ok but he has to realize those people are a vocal minority. They only seem like more because he’s constantly online.

Yes. A small number. How many blazer fans do you think are in Oregon and around the world? I imagine the number who actually use twitter and have reached out to him is a tiny tiny fraction.

Oh I dont think this was everything. I think he was already frustrated with the way this last year went and him now being attacked (even if just by a minority of people) is enough for him to say screw this place. If I'd been loyal to a place as long as he had and a group of those people then started going at me and just flat out acting ridiculous over THIS, I'd walk away too. What's he got to stay for at that point? I dont blame him one bit. The actions of a few can unfortunately ruin it for the rest. This is Portland

Can’t stand Kayla. She runs Timbers account (or at least did) and blocks people and fights on her personal account about it. She’s really obnoxious.

for reference a Timbers player allegedly had a racist comment made at him. And she went off about how you have to believe him because of his temperament etc.

Yet 2 years ago a Timbers player was accused of a racist comment and it wasn’t all “always believe the accuser” then. And she’s getting enough backlash that she went protected on tweets etc. pay her no attention. (Please)

That's why it sounds like a total copout reason to leave.

We will agree to disagree on the previous.
But it’s not a cop out. I literally called this many, many days ago when I said “Dame is more likely to request a trade because of our insane fan base saying crazy shit to him on Twitter.”

And here we are… possibly on the brink of just that happening.
 
I don’t think twitter is good for Dame. If you follow him, he almost always engages with the negativity he gets. It bothers him and it’s obvious. This isn’t a new development, it’s been like this for years. But this is something EVERY pro athlete that has an account experiences on some level. If I were his agent I would honestly advise him to just delete the app altogether.
