I hate when he plays cryptic Dame. He is too smart not to post this picture in LA on purpose. Just look at the comments.

I don't know where his mind is a the moment but I don't like it.

Or do you interpret it differently?

Thinking too much into it Bro. I've been guilty of the same. He was in LA, at a WNBA game, had just hugged LeBron, who he happens to be friends with, always has (since college), and was happy. He's happy too at home when in similar situations. I like to see him happy. Now he's practicing to take names at the Olympics. It's all good. R.E.L.A.X........

I agree there are probably some molehills --> mountains going on right now about things Dame says and does and what that means. He was massively disappointed when the Blazers couldn't beat an injured Denver team. I think that really shook him because just weeks before that he said he believed this Blazer team was different. He needs to keep that disconnect in mind if Olshey does make major changes (unlikely)

that said, Dame obviously decided to stop playing nict and start putting pressure on the Blazer front office to finally do their jobs and build an actual contender. It seems clear that message not only got thru to the front office, but also made it all the way up to Seattle. There is no reason at all why Dame should stop applying pressure now. A new coach isn't going to scheme Portland into better talent. The roster needs an upgrade in not only talent, but fit

He isn't going to LA. I don't care if he asks for a trade. They don't have any assets. If Neil trades Dame to the Lakers I'm going to riot.

I can't see a trade scenario with the Lakers as well. But in todays NBA stars dictate the rythm not GM

Dame can dictate that he wants to be traded, but he is under contract for four more years. I really don't care if he says LA is the only place he will play. If that's the case, he won't be playing. I'd tell him to pound sand.
 
Lets just get rid of this Dame Trade Post period! Dame has a ton invested in the Blazers. His personal goals include the Blazers. People are putting crap out there that Dame hasn't said. The stuff he has, doesn't indicate a request. He does want change that gets his team better. I look for Neil to do all he can. He said as much in the presser with Chauncey. Time to move on from this trade BS.

You have to admit that there has been a pretty massive shift in terms of Dame's public commitment to the team. Him being cryptic and non-commital is a pretty big change from ride or die Blazer for life.

The shittiest thing about it is if you just google "Damian Lillard" four out of five articles are trade ideas for him. Most are from bloggers on clutchpoints or nbaanalysis from other markets but there's a story in the Athletic today about how the Knicks land him and other actual journalists are putting time into "dame trades". So I don't think this fucking terrible thread should be locked until this frenzy calms the fuck down.

Lakers talk the talk but are they willing to do what it takes? Anthony Davis and a few first rounders is your starting point.

I would not be a good GM because I'm really emotionally invested in Dame so I would be like you and demand more than AD but with the rest of our roster being what it is, if AD was offered straight up, a good GM would jump on it. I realize Dame is more durable. It's just: CJ, Norm, RoCo, AD, Nurk, Ant, Nas, DJ, MLE is far superior than what we currently have.

I would be shocked if Dame said any specific team or I sit. I just think he wants a chance to win it all and maybe he's decided he doesn't care where. If he joined a super team he'd look like the biggest fool in the league. If he was traded to Philly... that would be different.
 
Yeah the Rockets just gave Harden away...
These are just by fans that don't understand the game, or apparently anything for that matter. Why not Kuzma for Dame straight across then? Fucking idiots. When has Lillard even mentioned the Lakers ever? Why are Laker's fans assuming that Dame did a 180 and is now 1000% all in on the most cliche of superteams? Am I missing something?
 
Should seriously start saying that someone "heard" LeBron wants out of LA and wants Portland. Same amount of evidence. Just keep tweeting it. Some dopey reporter will pick it up and write about it.
 
Delusional Laker Media at it's best. I agree with Blazer Nation should go on the counter offensive and make up all kinds of BS trade ideas involving LeBron and the Unidufus. Father time is ticking on LBJ, and Chicago is calling favorite son AD home. LA Media whores are working graveyard shift on this garbage.
