Dame's to be traded draws intriguing parallels to the tale of Mordred's betrayal in Arthurian legend.

Mordred, fueled by envy and a thirst for power, conspired against his own father, seeking to usurp the throne and claim the kingdom for himself. In a desperate bid for personal gain, he betrayed not only his familial ties but also the trust placed upon him as a knight of the Round Table. Just as Mordred turned against his own family and king, Lillard's desire for a trade signifies a departure from the team that has nurtured and supported him throughout his illustrious career.

The act of turning away from a long-standing allegiance holds echoes of betrayal. Both instances evoke a sense of disloyalty and the forsaking of communal bonds. Betrayal and abandonment can carry consequences beyond the immediate gain sought. They prompt reflection on the complexities of human loyalty and the impact of individual actions on the collective fabric of teams, communities, and legacies.

It seems that all the quotes from Cronin and the Blazers have emphasized that they are looking beyond Miami and going to do what's best for the team...I don't think they make those comments unless there is some truth.

you lost me there...sorry

I was just asking if people believed Dame told Cronin he would only play for Miami, not any other team, including Portland. That's what the tweet said Dame told Cronin.

do people believe Dame would be that stupid, stubborn, and unprincipled?

Allen and picks would be a great haul. Problem is, how the hell are you looping Cleveland into the deal?

But yeah, I'll take any defensive big man to pair with two defensively challenged guards.

Would Cleveland have any interest in Nurk? Rumor had it they did have interest in Little.

I hope not, but I do believe it. It's coming out from relatively reliable reporters mouths (may be regurgitation from just 1 reliable source though). That being said, I don't have any issue with Dame, or what's going down in general.

it's only coming from one person, Amick. I haven't seen any other source for it.

that Dame would like to go to Miami I have no doubt about. That he actually told Cronin he would not play for any other team than Miami I find hard to believe

Hidden in the loss of Dame is the possibility that it will be good for the young guys. It’s not about Damian Lillard anymore.

Exactly. I’d be way more upset for way longer if we traded Scoot only to have him light us up 2-5 times a year for 15 years as he goes on to become a big star because we wanted to make Dame happy for 2-5 years.
 
Also not talked about enough right now is how Coach feels about this.

I’m not against Chauncey as a coach and if he’s all in on a young team like this then I’m all in on that.

Let’s not forget how huge it could be for Scoot to have a HOFer NBA champion guard as a coach coming into the league as a rookie. Could make all the difference… Coach said something about BB IQ the other day. Dude has it himself, can’t deny that. Countless footage to prove that if you don’t already know.

Chauncey has done more than Dame. Chauncey has proven himself in the league.
Those are the facts today.
 
Hope I'm wrong, and really, I just wanna shut off media until a trade is finalized instead of speculating and reading too far in to things, but all of the Joe's gonna shop him to all the teams talk makes me feel like it'll be Miami, but this lets him save face by saying they shopped, and this was the best deal. And though he maybe listens to offers, he isn't seriously listening

Who knows?
If Dame ends up going to Miami we'll find out.
They don't have good assets.

I think the Nurk tweet and Tyler Herro removing “Heat Guard” from his Twitter bio might mean this thing might not be too far away from happening.

I want a good return but I also just want to move the fuck on.

I'd rather have a good return.
I've already moved on.

Yep, divorces can get messy, but you can't afford to just take whatever just to move on.

We're largely in the position we're in because we've gotten absolutely nothing from: Webster, Roy, LMA, Oden, Collins (3 1s!!!), Ariza, Roco, etc. Dame is our highest value asset of the past few decades, we can't afford to take cents on the dollar for him.

Cronin said he'd do what's best for the team. Let's see what happens.

I don't care if we have to wait another whole season.
Dame will be watching the magnificent young Blazers and realize he might have made a big mistake.

From a talent standpoint, i agree. This team is acquiring talent. Big time talent.
 
Also…Let’s face it, Dame was the reason analysts talked about the Blazers for so long.

We will fall so quickly into national irrelevancy that people will forget we exist.

Expect to be rated poorly by those in the sports world.

Not necessarily a bad thing.

Until Scoot makes his arrival. He can be Ja Morant without the crazy.
