WTF.

Twitter User: If the Blazers traded you to the Lakers to help LeBron would you be happy? Damian Lillard: I’m typically a happy camper
– via Twitter Dame_Lillard

Lovely response by Dame.

Basically: I'm already happy.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

And make a super team?

JUST DON'T TELL THEM!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

For it to work, you need Dame to reach out to him & try to understand exactly where his head is at.

That would be awkward, because the unspoken fact would be that the only way it's going to happen is if CJ is traded.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

It's pretty brutal. I agree.

I was about to tell you the same thing, I hope I don’t misjudge you because of it heh.

The sports media is going nuts with this Dame to LA thing. It’s so dumb...

 

[calvin natt]

Not totally opposed to trading anyone on their team. Just don’t want any Lakers except Kuzma. So if multiple teams were involved and all players were 24 and under I’d be fine.

I just like to find humor in stupid things. Nothing more to read into it.

Yeah... I was PISSED this morning. Turned that bullshit right off. Didn't want to start my day with that crap.

Moratorium over. Can announce FA signings.

Can we just get one mediaperson to actually ask a question to Neil in this?

Does that mean they're done adding guys for the summer if they're holding a PC? Surely this can't be it.

In the dreaded summer of 16, they had one every time a move was made. One for Turner, AC, Meyers/Harkless etc.

Don't think it means anything.

They can't officially announce Gary yet.

 

[illmatic99]

They can't officially announce Gary yet.

Why not? He's been taking part of summer league practice

 

[tester551]

He's being signed with part of the MLE. Can't use that until the 6th.

Well, it's a 10am press conference, are we sure he'll be up that early to attend? He sort of slept through free agency...

Can’t wait to hear Neil’s spin tomorrow on how successful this offseason has been

As long as you remember to bifurcate.

“Look... where were these people 4 years ago when Nik Stauskas was the 8th pick in the draft?”

Most of us were at our jobs doing a better job at our Job then Neil or Stauskas has done the last 4 years heh.

I'd say a large segment of forum members were probably just eating mom's groceries in the basement and complaining about the team 24/7

It was meant as mostly a joke, I have voiced my opinions on NO, and I've admitted to not liking him but I recognize he has done some good things too.
You might be right though.

 

[Propagandist]

Just said hi to Dante Cunningham in the Tillamook Fred Meyer...weird.

 

[calvin natt]

Saw Swanigan at Tigard Costco the other day. Big dude.

 

[BlayZa]

hey guys,

we signed some huge potential with curry and steaksauce, we've also cleared the road to allow collins and caleb to develop with more time on the floor.

meyers and turner are still positive assets

trust the process

much love

Neil.
