OKC took Bertans to help with salary in a Dame trade with a bunch their picks
I think the Blazers might Trade for KAT, if they don't move Dame.
Not saying that this changes much 😂 but that's what I think and makes sense for all parties
Clyde Drexler is definitely the better Blazer. Dude got them to the finals twice with little to no star power.
THANK YOU Zack. I'm sick of hearing people tell Dame what he should or shouldn't be doing. Mind ya bizz
Zac Lowe Bill Simmons costal elite hypocrisy in full effect. Love you Zac but you you walked right into it it. I don't want to talk about this team or that team. So you only want to talk about teams on either coast?
FINALLY THE BECK IS BACK!!!!!
Dame can litterally go anywhere western conference .. like every team ouside of sa and houston will be title condenders with dame
Portland pretending to dame that the roster will be setup to have an chance at winning an title (spoiler alert: they wont) and dame steady pretending to be an free agent while remaining an blazer, they fit well together 2 peas in an pod that like to pretend
Dame can do what he wants.
He can't say he wants to win but that he wants to stay in Portland.
That's delusional 🤷♂️
Dame and Nurkic should go to phx for Beal and Ayton
WELCOME TO
Why not Philly for Dame Maxey is by far the best young player the Blazers could get.
If they were gona build a contender around Dame they wouldn't have waited til he's 32
Blazers just have too many deficiencies to think that there are enough realistic moves to make, given the assets they have, to get to contender status any time soon. It’s folly to even think that. Dame to Brooklyn has a great feel to it. Brooklyn is like an East Coast version of fusing Portland and Oakland. And Dame terrorising the Knicks is pure gold.
FVV wants his money but he also made it clear he wants a 2nd chip. FVV will not sign in Orlando much less Houston. He complained about young players & maturity level on JJ Reddick's podcast. He essentially said , paraphrasing he is not about babying anybody. It us rumored he & Scottie butted heads several times & it was Thad the older vet & Pascal who had to play the mediator role. Imagine him with all those young players on those 2 teams. And don't forget he has a young family. 2 of whom were born in Canada.
Trade curry, green clay while trade value is high
Zach saying a lot of words man lol. Of course Dame should do what he wants, but let’s stop pretending like he or the Blazers honestly believe they can contend for a title. He has gotten generational wealth and loves that city. Stay there if you want, but stop giving ultimatums if there is no situation that would cause you to ask out.
As Windhorst always point out, action speaks louder than words. If Portland drafted Henderson, and have not yet done anything then Portland is a actually pushing Damian out in a slowest way possible. At the end, Portland will still gonna deal Damian if not now, then possibly within the next 5years.
Dame is saying in code. Trade me home to Golden State without saying it by saying pair me with Dray
Nurkic and pix for Adebayo and pix🔥 🏆
Bill Walton is still the only Blazer with an MVP and a Finals MVP so…
The media is trying so hard to make this happen
yeah, zach…there have been a TON of epic box office failures……
and they've ALL been Disney films……
your boss is the worst
Damian Lillard you ARE a Cleveland Cavalier
I do t see the team he want to go to being able to send back a package that would be anywhere close to his value
But it’s time to rebuild you don’t want to wait to long like Washington did with Neal
Dray is the greatest def player of his gen?!?!?!?!?!? LOL
People are full of it. The way to "not be the bad guy" is to mutually agree to part ways. It happens every year. Dame and the Blazers are trying to make it work.
Dame, bridges and claxton is going absolutely nowhere next
This dude is very boring, snooze fest😴
Dame has always been a problem for Denver
As a Portland fan I am so appreciative of Zach. He is the only the voice in the national media that isn’t shouting nonsense just to get views. He is a true fan of the sport and acts like it. He is also realistic about how unlikely it is for a team to win a championship. All these people out here saying that trading Dame will guarantee them to be able to compete is absurd. All paths are unlikely.
Listen Lowe if he doesn’t leave he doesn’t want to win point blank. It’s been 11 seasons and they can’t put REAL players around him. What more evidence does he need?
