I’m convinced the Trail Blazers have a family member of his kidnap it’s no reason dame want leave 😭🙃
NBA draft is rigged, what a coincidence that the Spurs get the 1st overall pick with Wemby, Hornets get the 2nd pick after the whole Miles bridges scandal and pick Miller, and Portland gets #3 pick in Scoot to replace Dame
BLAZERS SHOULDA DRAFTED EMONI BATES AT 43 TO COMPLETE THIS DRAFT. SMH
His leaving to go to Miami.
So Scoot Henderson bangin Big B's I guess
Maybe simons is the one that’s getting the hot seat for the veteran player dame wants
Lillard has been all star since he was drafted.
Blazers: We want to keep Dame so we're not going to trade the #3 pick for assets and we'll draft a ball-dominant guard that Dame has surely been wanting his whole career
So many of you Blazer fans admire Lillard for being loyal but are upset at the Blazers for not moving him! So which is it?! Because even the village idiot would tell you that you can't have it both ways!🙄🙄🙄🙄
Only thing they are lacking for rebuild is a young bigman. Dame to Pelicans for Zion and more?
Joe cronin is a complet idiot he just said size doesn't matter, but 3 months ago he said they need to get bigger.
How is it building around him when the player they drafted plays his position. Rumors about Simons have been floated around and now what? All these guards are playing together how. You're going to tell Simons one of the best young guards in the league you are going to the bench. Lillard your 32 wait 4 years and we'll get you that chip. Dame I know you don't want to be the bad guy. It's time. They have showed you what their plan and it's not to win at least right now. Go to Miami and at least an opportunity to win a chip while you are still in your prime.
Dame getting fucked with no vaseline right now
Potential line up next season
Pg-Dame
Sg-Scoot
Sf-Sharpe
Pf-Grant or Winslow
C-Steven Adams👀👀
Why is Denver odds so low??
Shocking….
Come to the lakers. Please.
Free dame
best of all time
This is most likely Dame’s peak trade value, would be wise to trade him now if they are ever going to
Sometimes I wonder why not move on to better and give yourself a better chance but sometimes people are I don’t wanna say content with mediocre but there content with maybe everything else maybe Portland might bring to his life maybe the environment is perfect for him and his family you know you gotta take all these things into consideration but either way mad love for lillard !
Maybe dame is ok with losing
If he stays the call him a loser amd if he leaves they will say his a rimg chaser
So you just gonna have Dame, Henderson, Sharpe, and Simmons? Seems like one guard to many to me but maybe it can work.
I really hope Portland doesn’t make this messy for Dame if he asks out…he’s done so much for them. They have their young building blocks. Please don’t make it difficult for him if that’s what he decides. I think that would be fucked up.
Both Dame and the Blazers need to give it up already and do what’s best for both sides and that’s to move on.
I think the Blazers received a lot of offers over the last few days but they declined them all.. better to keep him than give him away for less than he’s worth in my opinion.. Teams are scarred by the Gobert move from last year and probably aren’t offering enough
Trailblazers and Dame need to move on Trailblazers cleary didnt build the right team around him and dame needs to stop being mentally weak and when I say that is bc he always wants to win but he choosed money over a championship like he could have walked in fa and now dame is switching up about leaving or not than a dude who got chested and said i will left her but changes his mind like if Im dame im walking out of the door 🤷🏿♂️
Prisoner for life.
Dame just leave bro
So the Blazers don't want to trade Damian Lillard but they don't trade the # 3 pick in the draft to get an Veteran All-Star in Portland like Dame asked them to do so. Either the Blazers trade Scoot for an All-Star player or they are trading Dame to help build for the future. Something is gonna have to give.
They have 4 starting caliber guards on their roster, this is just a mess.
if i am dame im sone with portland
2 Guards as your go to deadset doesn’t win titles….. Curry and Klay is the only rare guard combo that take you to a title opportunity. Harden & CP3 is another one, Dame and Scoot will be just Dame and CJ all over again
I’m sure Dame is just as excited to play with him… and NOT be a competitive team and miss the Playoffs like he has most of his career with the Blazers.
Portland can’t trade lillard until July 9. Portland have until July 9 to turn things around and bring in help for lillard.
Damian Lillard should have been asked for a trade.. He should have been left Portland around year 2019 some would say 2021
I don't get it Scoot is a PG Simmons is a two and Sharpe is a SF is Dame moving to center
It’s like a bad marriage rife with codependency and mental abuse. They are the Bobby & Whitney of professional sports.
both party are playing safe.😂 lillard don’t want to called liar after he said portland for life and will not demand trade. blazers also don’t want to be called traitor and all business because lillard already said he will be blazers for life.😂
This feels like a game of chicken between Blazers & Dame. Dame is a lot older than most of his teammates, they could do a great rebuild by trading him & Dame wants to remain loyal while asking Portland to build around him when the route to a ring just doesn’t seem there.
Build around dame with scoot ? That’s wild
It’s not the end of the world if he doesn’t win a championship. His contributions to the game of Basketball has been remarkable. He has inspired many young players to dedicate themselves to hard work, growth and being a decent man in today’s society. If winning a championship was the only thing that mattered to him, he would’ve left a long time ago.
please give Dame a chance to be in a championship contending team, he deserves it
It would benefit Portland more to trade Lillard than for Lillard to request a trade. Lillard is at the end of his career an he is injury prone ..best to trade him while he is healthy
I dont think they should trade him because then he will be teaming up and Dame dont play teaming up.
We get it… he wants to stay and the blazers also don't want to trade him… stop talking about it. Let's move on
Portland Organization is run by some straight morons.
