In all seriousness, like I've mentioned before, PDX will never contend with this backcourt, and I personally think CJ is a better player, and Dame has higher trade value. Time to break this duo up.

Why can't we win with this backcourt? They aren't the problem. It's the pieces around him. Same with Rasheed Wallace. We could've won with him but we never put the pieces around him that Detroit had.

THANK YOU!

Ya love Dame so much honestly give the guy a break and send him to a market where he could get his shine. He deserves to be recognized

I don't think this is Dame saying anything negative about Portland personally. Or, rather, I don't read it that way at all.

So we become an even more ball-hogging team with CJ? You thought ISO-roy was bad....

The argument I've made in the past that we can't give two of our three max contract slots to our defense deficient backcourt. The talent is better spread out, especially in getting wing players which we have none of.

That’s because it isn’t negative.

Our backcourt is no longer Defense deficient.

We have one of the best defenses in the league.

Explain.... reads pretty clear to me

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Lol

League average DRtg is 107.3 this year.

CJ DRtg = 105
Dame DRtg = 104

Stop quoting stats and start watching games

Literally you get out of it what you want to read. You’re thinking negative about the team so you think Dame is slamming portland.

 

[GrandJury]

You’d like that Tunchi

Do it for Dame. Let him get his shine

Your a member since October do u even know who Tunchi is rook? Lmao

I hope he stays just to piss you off.

So then you explain your interpretation so I can be enlightened by your positivity.

What makes you say that?

You’re a returning user under a new name, and you’re like the only person here who thinks I’m not a returning user under a new name.

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Your selfish

My dream will come true and it’ll make me happy.

 

[Rhal]

Seems like a tweet agreeing that the national media does not give him the respect he deserves. The National Media sleeps constantly on Dame and slams him all the time and there is very little he can do about it except continue to play steller in portland.

 

[SportsAndWhine]

So then you explain your interpretation so I can be enlightened by your positivity.

“Portland gets no respect so I get no respect but I’m not about the love from folks who only see shiny things. I got drafted by Portland, I’m loyal to the team and city who believed in me. I’m not seeking another market just to get love.”

 

[RR7]

Explain.... reads pretty clear to me

I read it as him being proud that he plays the card he was dealt, badge of honor thing on his loyalty.

I just don't think Paul Allen will let it happen and if he does it will be too late. The Blazers really should have explored a CJ for Jimmy Butler deal but that ship has sailed. Oh well, Well always be a middle of the road team with good highlight reels.

I don’t see how you think cj is the better player. I think Dame is. when he’s not scoring he’s making his team mates better. When cj isn’t scoring hes over dribbling and turning the ball over. Don’t get me wrong, cj is a very great player but I just wouldn’t put him over Dame
