When should the Blazers trade Dame?

Is this a joke or do you not know?

he's being sarcastic

This thread feels like a 'kardashians run amok' type/celebrity gossip/national enquirer thing.
Kinda gross, actually.

uh....last February is not the measuring stick for what he's done with the flexibility...Roco wasn't a starter...he got benched and only started again when Nance got hurt again...and Norm was mailing it in ...both got their asses handed to them by CJ in the playin.....you overvalue those guys....Winslow can out guard both of them combined as it is. Keon was a first round draft pick the year before...both Norm and Roco got bounced the last two year in the playoffs without impressing anyone. Move on. Josh Hart is so much better than Norm and Winslow is so much better than Roco that it's easy to see why the last batch of guys Olshey brought in were sent out.
Norm and Roco left Nurk on an island on defense all the time which made Nurk pick up fouls....Hart and Winslow with Nurk shut teams down....big upgrade

Why can't they see THIS.?
The obvious truth.

I'd like to say never, that's my preference, but it's not realistic. Lillard will eventually ask and when he does the Blazers will then need to trade him.

If halfway through next season we aren't good, trade Dame for draft picks.

The obvious truth.

…and some of the flexibility has allowed us to re-sign both Nurkic and Ant plus add Grant and Payton.

This is the 1st time that the Blazers have started to try to build a contender team around Dame. At a minimum, we should give them 2 years of building talent, coaching team fit on O and D, and allowing the best Dame ever to excel with a coach that was a Champion at his position.

Even thinking of the time to consider trading Dame should wait until Dame is 36. Some of the comment in this thread are 4+ years too early!

Any thought of trading Dame before expiration of his contract in 2027 seems destructive to the future of the Blazers, and highly likely to end the interest of most of the fans (and thus the financial feasibility of the Blazers in Portland).

Let's wait at least 2 years and see whether the new build around Dame era can produce an NBA Championship. I think it is likely!

When should the Blazers trade Dame?

Where is the “two years ago” option?
