    Dame kinda losing me as a fan at this point. I would always love and respect his game but you get one life to get what you're worth and Portland did nothing to help him compete. Not one player they added since Dames rookie year until now has been a top 30 player and any piece that could've helped they traded away. I just need my boy to realize at some point that in the working world, people would ACT LIKE THEY NEED YOU BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY CAN USE YOU. Portland is no different than my Bulls, they use their superstars to sell seats etc they don't want to pay money to compete

    I love it when JJ destroys the opinion of the clown in the middle when it comes to basketball 😂😂😂

    Football is harder, 49ers were looking like shoo ins to be in the Super bowl and one hit on their quarterbacks funny bone and they were out. Even Mahomes was almost unable to play because of an ankle injury. In basketball in todays NBA you could lose your best player and a role player second stringer could be super hot from 3 point range with the best game of his life and help you win against a better team. In football its more violent with so much more going on, its not 11 players, its more than 11 on offense with different formations plus defense plus special teams. Also a lot less scoring plays. In the NBA they score so often you literally are never hurt by giving up 2 points instead of fouling and getting in foul trouble or possibly giving up a 3 point play except on the very end of the game. So if a player is ahead of you on a fast break just let him have the 2 points don't take the chance of fouling him.

    Wow Keyshawn said Patrick mahomes and the chiefs have a better chance of repeating instead of the nuggets, wow I’m so shocked

    They need to make a trade with the bulls, give up that 3 pick for someone like Derozen and a player

    They should keep pick 3 and trade dame for as much draft capital as they can get. They're never winning with dame regardless of what they do with pick number 3. Unless you can get Zion for scoot at #3. If he gets healthy and can compete next to dame you might be onto something

    The question for Portland is can Damian lillard be a #1 Guy on a championship team. If so you don’t trade this guy, the blazers have good scorers to go with lillard already. If they feel dame can be a #1 you trade some assets and that 3 pick for someone like siakam, or mikal bridges, maybe even a Bradley Beal type player ( I think they should go after a wing who can score and play defense ) but if Portland feels dame isn’t a true #1 to lead them to a chip then you obviously trade him for more assets to build around your core you already have and help set your foundation for the future. Either way I think Portland is in a good spot here. If they make the right trade

    Statistically, NFL is a lot more random than the NBA, the NBA is the least random of the big 4 leagues (NHL is the most random) and the best team (which was the Nuggets all season) usually win. That alone, means Jokic has a higher chance of repeating than Mahomes. That said, the Jokic slander by ESPN is unreal, the guy just had an all-time season.

  14. Franco Bradshaw

    whole time, it’s Beal leaving Washington 😳😳👀.. Suns, Lakers, Wolves, Warriors & Cs making calls!!!!

  16. nellyville

    Damian Lillard is a generational talent not superstar he in the same tier as Stephen curry, Jay Williams, monte Ellis 😮.

  21. GreyyB

    Chauncey needs more time learning how to coach, just because you get 1 or 2 players doesn’t change that he doesn’t know how to use his players effectively

  25. Jesus Ortega

    Keyshawn looked dumb versus JJ in the end.
    Keyshawn always. AKWAYS looks that way when he talks about NBA
    then excuses himself "I'm really and NBA expert"
    Dude always sounds like a fan when speaking on NBA

  26. Bdot 4

    Pelicans get: #3 pick and draft scoot + (Simmons or sharpe)
    Blazers get: 14th pick 18th pick Zion, Tyler herro, Duncan Robinson
    Heat get: Dame

  27. Darben Ferrer

    Heat check, the Lakers are in the more difficult position to win a championship than the nuggets to repeat as champions.

  32. Noel Johnson

    The NBA wants parity but then again they want Lillard to team up with other superstars to win 🤦🏾‍♂️ y’all want to break up the warriors so bad but then again they want other stars to team up to win, make it make sense 🤦🏾‍♂️

    Dame is making bank in Portland and he is the most popular sport figure in that city…. of course he does not want to leave.

  38. Nothemba Jozi

    Dame is comfortable where he's the bug fish in a small pond. He doesn't want to compete. He's acting like a martyr. He's more likely to win a Grammy than a championship.
