GENIAL😍🔥
First
Dame is so overrated. RinglessBum😂
this DAME story line is lowkey getting old. if he stays this year i never wanna hear anything else.
The real question is how is it going to affect lebron's legacy?
Fans and the media are trying too hard to get Dame out of Portland. He is happy there and is loyal to the city and franchise. Winning isn't his priority right now and that's ok he can go to a contender in the future.
Why is Austin rivers talking about Dames future? 😂
They should have been traded Lillard when they traded McCollum
Cool stuff
damian is gonna scoot aside
Ain’t no superstar coming to the blazers 😂😂
I hope it's Dame playing for the Lakers in 2024, I be thinking about questions like what Miami got that the Lakers don't yo
“Thread the needle” and play a whole season with a pissed off dame 😂 that actually doesn’t sound so bad.
Lillard is overrated SMH 🙄
Portland front office needs to look in the mirror. Portland is not going anywhere in the next 3-5 years. They need to trade Dame. They could give him one favor because he was so loyal. Ask Dame what team he would like to to be be traded too. Simple
This number 3 pick is not going to matter. He needs to move to the Miami or another developed franchise to win a ring. If he stays in Portland, he is signing his legacy away. Loyal to his city, but at what cost? Dame should know this by now, but lets see where he goes this offseason.
this is Portlands ticket to rebuild
they be insane to try nd run it back with Dame
Draft scoot , & trade dame. Build around Simmons & sharpe and cam reddish
they've got some nice pieces in portland, i don't want that pick traded for dame's sake. i'd rather either he leaves and they properly rebuild or he stays and they keep the pick
The best thing for Blazers and Dame is for Dame to go Heat and Blazers to keep their pick. Just do it already… There are players the Blazers can trade for to make the team competitive but the chances of winning are small.
I guess its time to move on from Dame. If not, Dame would be a mentor/coach for the 3rd pick which isn't too bad either
Dame leave bro we get it you loyal , go get a ring !
I’m surprised Dame doesn’t go off on all these wannabe fans and media. He already said he hates this he said, she said bs.
Get Scoot trade Dame
If dame stays in Portland because he wants to that’s perfectly fine. It’s his decision and we have to deal with it but I don’t wanna hear no more free dame narratives or he deserves a better front office. This is on him now. Portland keeping pick shows they don’t wanna sacrifice their futures because they know ain’t nobody coming to save them. Plus with dames huge contract, they are lowkey handicapped cap wise
Loyalty to what bruh this team failed you. You already a Portland goat, go win somewhere bruh. No one gonna look at you like that guy cuz you ain’t done nothin
3 small guards have ever in history led a team to a chip. Dame will never be #4. Portland needs to move on from him for their sake. Get players and all the picks back for him, slide off Nurkic, build around Grant & Simons.
Dame to Orlando for the 6 and 11th pick, Gary Harris and Jonathan Isaac, Bol Bol
