First of all, why the fuck would we trade with the enemy?

If for some inexplicable reason, Olshey decides to trade with the purple and piss, we BETTER get Kuzma. No Kuzma, no deal!
 
If Dame is actually saying he wants out, and I'm not convinced that he is, but if he is.... we need to trade him. Not dealing with another LaMucas.

I'd rather have him sit on a bench doing nothing for 3 years and lose him for nada than for him to be traded to the Lakers. We trade him to LA, I'm no longer a Blazers fan. Simple as that. Also moving to Canada if Trump is elected.
 
I don't think the Lakers want to give up too much. In their minds they can clear enough cap space by next summer to add Klay or Kawhi and give up nothing. If I were them I would stay patient. Let their younger players get better then add a star to the mix. It s always a gamble to wait, but LBJ seems to be fine with the one year rebuild.

Have the Lakers asked? I believe so but almost every team in the league would ask if they thought they had the assets to offer....which I'm not sure the Lakers do and even if they did (Ingrahm/Kuzma/? + picks), I'm not sure they would do that..

The Knicks? Mr. Smith should stop embarrassing himself. Of course they would like him. They have NOTHING to trade.

If the Lakers come and say Ingram / Kuzma / Picks for Dame, the Blazers should just hang the phone. If they say Ingram / Kuzma / Picks for CJ - there is maybe a discussion to be had - and I like CJ a lot.

The problem with all of the Lakers young players is that I'm not even sure any of them will be All-Stars. Let alone All-NBA or All-NBA first team.

Why facepalm? He is 100% right. I Love Dame he is my favourite Player, but i feel sorry for him to waste his Prime on a mediocre Basketball Team with a horrible Front Office without a plan. If you really want the best for Lillard, you trade him right to LeBron and give him a Chance to compete, we can't give him that Chance. Thats the reality

I like how Jalen Rose brings up 2 players who removed their teams info from their twitter feed/unfollowed them, but doesn't mention that Dame is at the practice facility watching the rookies.

He mentions that Dame responded with "happy camper", but it wasn't about if he wanted to stay or not, but was asked IF he was traded to the Lakers, how would he feel (given his previous comments about rather staying in Portland for his whole career and not winning a title, vs title chasing).

I swear to god, the sports media all got boners for Laker rumors the second LeBron announced he was signing there. Any and every rumor is the truth, no matter how much of a stretch their logic is.
 
Well the rumors started in lakersground and a fake twitter account. So it must be credible!
 
From a national perspective is it really that much of a stretch to think he might want out?

-2 straight sweeps in the playoffs
-No real way to improve the team until his contract is up
-wants to win (like all great athletes)

These are facts that all reasonably could lead to a player like dame looking for the door.

What we know from eating sleeping and breathing blazers is he would never actually do that (at least not yet). But from an outside perspective it’s not that unreasonable.
 
I don't think there's any doubt that Dame has to be going WTF? when he considers Portland's off-season so far. It's the opposite of what Olshey 'promised' and the opposite of making Portland more competitive

LA Media Whores
 
I'm sure to Dame after getting an all NBA first team nod...any press is good press...the dude knows how to build his brand...how many Dame shoes will get sold in LA this week besides the 12 pair el prez buys twice a week? How many music CDs will he turn over ….money in the bank
 
I can't believe those ya hoos at the Oregone-ian put this crap in.

You'd think by now most Blazer veterans and staff know not to listen to the bukkaki that is the oregonian. What a shithole story - can the Portland press get any more out of favor with Portland's largest commodity? Surely Dame knows the Blazer fanbase isn't represented by these vindictive CU%TS!!!

Are the Lakers paying the Oregonian to put this crap out? Seriously I need to get off the internet for a few days before I go crazy, this is unbelievably stupid.
Part of me would understand Dame or anyone wanting to go play with Lebron, but Oregon sports media ENCOURAGING it is some of the dumbest crap I’ve seen in a long time....
 
I don’t know why people are even entertaining the idea of a dame trade. He said not getting traded. Only way he does is if he absolutely ends up hating it here and asks for it which doesn’t seem the case. It’s just funny to me the same media that never includes dame in any top player list is all excited about a “possible dame trade”. Industry is fake and garbage. ESPN is garbage and this is the problem with journalists even out of sports media. This is why the term fake news is a thing. Because shit is becoming more and more click bait than actual logic or facts. People grasping at straws every day coming up with articles to try and keep their jobs. It’s pathetic
