Zombie Damian Lillard to request trade in coming days (nope, he's not.)

[Mediocre Man]

Hope you're right. Neil still has his work cut out for him. Maybe there's deals agreed in principle that Dame is aware of.

 

[blazedanugz]

yes but he waited 5 days after the meeting to post this? A seeming reaffirming of his commitment to the team? don't think there's that much depth to this.

think it has everything to do with the title that he saw giannis win 20 hrs ago

What is the connection between this post and Giannis winning a title?

Dame just turned comments off on that post. It was filled with “come to la”” among other teams

comments are still on

dame met with Chauncey and Neil a couple days ago. I would bet anything it had to do with free agency/trades/specific targets. We’d be naive to think GMs just sit at their desks until the eve of free agency. I’m sure calls have already been made, trades negotiated, etc. The team should have a good idea by now at least what is and isn’t possible in the next few weeks. And I’m sure Dame is aware of it as well.

Not specific targets, but you’re dead on

 

[Hoopguru]

It’s obvious!

 

[B-Roy]

Well according to Dame's last presser, they've talked about specific targets as well, like they do every year.

wtf maybe my phone was glitching

Okay I can get with that

Top comment is Nurk with the robot emoji. Lol

yeah I saw that…i went back to look and all the comments were gone. Guess my phone was playing tricks on me

Pretty sure that's also Ben Simmons's head in the photo.

It is…not sure I’d read too much into that though

Yeah I just thought it was funny with all the shit going around regarding Simmons, Dame, CJ, and both teams in general.

 

[Mr. Robot]

fucking cryptic dame again

what does it mean this time

Or maybe…..it does mean something….

btw for a guy whose whole brand and personality is built on loyalty, reading non stop “come to ____” would be quite the turn off imo. So in a way those dorks are actually helping him stay in Portland LOLZ.

jesus, that is some zapruder level digging. Also random info, but dame follows BS' girl, but not Simmons himself on IG.

we all need to step away a bit.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

As much as I could given that the Wizards have been consistent losers in his time there. (If Russell Westbrook is what finally drags your team to the playoffs, how good are you?)

Wouldn't it be nice, if we're trading CJ, to get somebody who can actually play SOME defense?

Consistent losers? They’ve won a few playoff series and nearly made the ECF one year. Injuries were their problem.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

yeah sure I agree with you about defense but if you can get Bradley Beal…you get him. He’s an all nba type player ‍

Prob is Beal is like Giannis and Dame. He has repeatedly said he wants to win with the team that drafted him. It’s going to be the new trend.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

fucking cryptic dame again

He's showing us his O face.

 

[Scalma]

He also re-posted this on his stories.

 

[Natebishop3]

...not sure where to put this so this seems like maybe a fitting place

This video just makes me mad.... because it just reminds me that our coach and our roster completely failed Dame.

 

[PDXFonz]

If Dame were to ever become a Laker we need to seriously consider having HCP subpoenaed for treason.

 

[PDXFonz]

ESPN stopped doing their rankings I think

But Dame is the best PG in the League right now.

Did anyone else catch Woj on CJ's pod today?

Woj: "it's easy for guys like Giannis and Dame to be the franchise guy during the good times, but it takes a special kind of a guy to be committed during the tough times."

They also said they'd discuss offline trades and moves teams will make

Woj did say that we should see a lot of trades (both picks and veteran players) on draft day.

As in Woj and CJ would discuss offline trades? What?

 

[Mr. Robot]

of course, when the tough times come, you show your true colors, its then when you show how loyal you really are, cause its easy to be loyal when its all good

i love dame, but no player has talked about loyalty more than him, so if he asks for a trade, he will be hypocrite, theres no way around it

if hes really thinking about leaving, well, then he should have been quiet on loyalty thing, cause sooner or later can come time when youre not gonna be happy and will want to leave

dame has earned every right to leave, blazers gave him - he gave back, no question at all, but not after the loyalty talk, i wouldnt forget nor forgive that

 

[illmatic99]

i should have been clearer.

They said they'd discuss the specific rumors and trade noise offline and not on the pod.

So curious to see what CJ and Simmons are actually moved for (if they are), this off-season. No one really seems to be able to come to a consensus on their value.
