Lillard makes for an intriguing trade asset--discuss

[SlyPokerDog]

What were the worse offers you got?

A non-running 1975 Buick with a branded title.

Did the guy say anything about putting lotion in a basket?

To Philly for Okafor and both the 76ers pick and the Lakers pick

Hey, it was a good troll try. We just don't have the practice some others do...

 

[Chris Craig]

We can trade him to Philly, Phoenix, Lakers, Kings, and the Nets. They can share him and we take all of their first round picks this year in return.

I would trade Dame for CJ.

Salaries match.

 

[1eyejack]

My take is you dont mention taking calls unless

A) it's leaked
B) Lillard wants traded

My opinion he sees where things are headed and may want out. Just my opinion

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I'm hearing we are close to sending Dame, CJ, and Meyers for Curry and Durant. Tweet it!

Not possible til July. CJ has his poison pill still.

Ah, I love the bullshit days before the trade deadline. Every reporter and every fan trying to get in on a trade rumor, 90% of which are nothing more than the after effects of bad pizza. I have no doubt that the Blazers are getting inquiries about Dame and CJ. I also have no doubt that unless something major is offered in exchange, it goes no further than that.

C) None of the above, its a made up rumor

I disagree. Lillard doesn't want out he has said so. He is a Blazer for life unlike some other 6'11 pussyfooter who walked away. It's not even a leak just some wannabe sports writer running his jaw

"Listening" does not equal "Considering". I mean, what are they supposed to do, hang up on people? Blow a referee's whistle into the phone? Even telemarketers deserve "little" courtesy.

 

[Schilly]

To be honest Olshey wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't listen to calls. It doesn't mean he's even entertaining offers.

 

[PDXFonz]

Wow what an organization fuck this shit if this happens

I can't believe Tunchi was right

Welcome back?

If you are going to mention your other moniker in every post you might as well be like "Hey guys, it's me Tunchi".

 

[H.C.]

lol....

It's hard to properly entertain offers when Portland has such poor valet service.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I don't recall Sam Amico being considered a "hack" like some here suggest (which maybe he is?) but if the Blazers are listening to offers, then I don't have a problem with it.

That said the likelihood that he'd actually be traded is very, very low (because most of these kinds of trades are rare).

No, when Lillard and CJ are mentioned, speak loudly into the reciever your concern that there is something wrong with the phone. Keep asserting that the phone is malfunctioning until inquiries about Dame and CJ cease, then return to the call as if nothing had happen. If Lillard and CJ are mentioned again, repeat.

"BLAH BLAH BLAH, I CAN'T HEAR YOU VLADE, LALALALALALA I'M NOT LISTENING!!!!"

 

[Shaboid]

I'm also taking calls for Lillard.

 

[rasheedfan2005]

olshey and allen are listening because they havent had a good laugh in a while

 

[BBert]

Olshey probably planted the story to check for leaks. Terminations coming soon.

I wonder if when Vlade recieves a call now, if he answers, "Hello, dumbest shithead in NBA speaking..."

There goes another assistant coach

 

[BBert]

Last week, the rumor was that Dame was being apprised by Neil & co about roster decisions.

Today, Neil is a candidate for the GM job in LA (a demotion for him btw), and listening to offers for Dame.

Olshey is trading Dame to the Lakers!!1!!1!

Holy shades of Jerry West, Batman!

 

[BBert]

The only news is that it got out (if it is even true). We don't let things out since Pritchard left.

The leaks are true.

But the news is fake!

SAD!!!

 

[Schilly]

Lillard and Leonard to Detroit for Drummond and Jackson
