His contract size precludes other stars from joining him. With the dearth of depth around him, an inexperienced coach, the fact that the city isn't a free agent destination, grant leaving in free agency, simons inability to defend, no athletic wings in an era of positionless basketball, and nurkic being maybe the 25th best starting center in the league, there is no path to glory for an aging Blazers team in an ascendant Western conference.
It all depends on what the Blazers want to do. If you want to be the Wizards, and have one superstar making an ungodly amount of money to not make the playoffs, more power to you. Dame will be a perennial all-star and one of the highest paid players in the league. The fans and the city love him, and he will continue to love them back. If he wants to retire as the greatest Blazer of all time, and that's all that their fans want too, well, then, great.
HOWEVER. If Portland, or Dame, are interested at all in winning a title, THEY MUST TRADE HIM AND BEGIN A REBUILD.
Dame to the knicks doesn't make sense. They have a young allstar level PG that's underpaid to build around. Why trade for an older $44 mil a year player. Then you have no money to build a team. No thanks
Pascal siakam has the best low post moves in the NBA.. I am a Toronto Raptors fan from New Jersey and never been to Toronto.. If he gets on a team that has three point shooting.. It's over… Because nobody in the NBA can play Pascal one on one..
This just shows Dane doesn’t trust the management to give him any confidentiality even if he asha due a trade. He thinks it would be on ESPN next day if he tells anybody in private that he wants to go. Portland should shop him already and see what they can get
I want Damian Lillard trade to Chicago Bulls this summer offseason 2023 – 2024 move Best fit for him with New team Chicago Bulls and 7x world championship
Trade him to the Knicks for RJ Barrett, Quickley, and draft picks to pair with the #3 pick. Idk how they’ll work on defense but dame and Brunson in the backcourt in prime time television
Dame is faking loyalty. He really doesnt care to compete for chips. Other tweets have basically said he didnt wanna be judged by not having won anything. Which basically says "If I win, i win. if i dont, i dont. But dont judge my career by that." Not every player cares that much.
Dame is that guy. It's been that way for years. He just don't have any dominant superstars that has his back. Dame is a very good player. He can't carry the whole entire team by himself. You need key championship caliber players to get the job done.
This is coming from Delusional Portland fans and haters thats mad Charlotte has the 2nd pick. They are obsessed with Charlotte not drafting Scoot. Charlotte will draft Scoot and Portland will be left with Miller
I love Dame but he’s being a hypocrite. He’s fiending to join a contending team. He’s clowning everybody but secretly mad they they’re making the playoffs and getting to the finals. If you want the chip you have to go out and get it if it’s not coming to you. Portland will trade his ass in a minute to get rid of that hefty contract. Its not just the players the GM’s wants to these super teams also..

Dame is a loser !!!!! Had Been and Will be a loser. He’s in it for the money what selfish bigot
Dame telling them trade me 😂😂😂 he just scared too say it bro just be up front and say you don’t wanna play their anymore 😂😂😂
Knicks for clicks again
Nobody wants to play for Portland let’s be real. In order for Portland to rebuild completely I think dame should go somewhere else.

Sorry but Skip is on something. Touching his nose and sniffing.
He doesn't look right.
Dam is old news. Move on

Dame in South Beach with the Heat🔥🔥🔥🔥DAME TIME IN SOUTH BEACH⏰⏲️⏱️🕑💪🏼
Dame backed himself into this corner and now he wants out. I don’t blame him but he shouldn’t have been here at all.
This just shows Dane doesn’t trust the management to give him any confidentiality even if he asha due a trade. He thinks it would be on ESPN next day if he tells anybody in private that he wants to go. Portland should shop him already and see what they can get
Set him free. He’s wasting his career.
I want Damian Lillard trade to Chicago Bulls this summer offseason 2023 – 2024 move
Best fit for him with New team Chicago Bulls and 7x world championship
Joel should force a trade, he is not gonna win in Philly unless he gets somebody like Dame…
Dame is that guy, he just needs help
Bro!! Dame wants out bringing in bro from the raptors ain’t it😂😂😂😂😂 😂😂 kidding me! Pascal Siakam really
Trade him to the Knicks for RJ Barrett, Quickley, and draft picks to pair with the #3 pick. Idk how they’ll work on defense but dame and Brunson in the backcourt in prime time television
The blazers won like 25 games this year with Dame. There is no 1 player to team with Dame that makes them relevant
6:16? Didn't Dirk get bounced in the first round by the GSW after winning regular season MVP?
As a Knicks fan we already have our PG which is JB if we didn’t have him sure why not go for Dame to late for tht now 🤷
Trade Lillard instead Portland should rebuild
Trade lillard and 3 third pick to someone
jokers top 30 player so far if he wins ring then top 25
Jokers on pace for 25000 career points 15000 rebounds and 10000 assists wow if he wins at least 3 rings with that then he's top 10
No way Dane goes to the Knicks and thinks they’re a contender when he’s a liability on defense
I think the Greek freak and Dame should team up.!
He should leave NY Spurs Philly a good fit
Wait… “is he running from the Grind?”
Dame to Boston
Pascal siakam is better than ur 3rd pick Toronto not dumb😅😅
Dametime to Miami? 🔥
You don't trade assets and young players to appease old stars. The opposite has gotten GM after GM fired. Only Rob Pelinka exists.

Let's go new York Knicks
You all want Dame traded so bad.
Stupidity. You keep Simmons and sharpe and the 3 pick. Trade dame for more assets to add to that
Get Ayatan

Why can’t they get the Audio to match the video
“ hell nah” I love Shannon 😂
Dame career gonna die in Portland because he'wanted to stay loyal and that's on him he chose the bag over winning.
Klay and trade for Simons!!! Than cut pool next year!! Still keep DiVincenzo. 👍
