    Lillard is not going anywhere. He loves the money more than winning so he's staying put.

    I doubt "peer" pressure to leave is going to work on Lillard he's too alpha for that. Portland does need another star though, Lillard could avg 40 a game easy if the other team can't commit 3 guys to guarding him.

    Then the Blazers will be back making the Playoffs every year while the 76ers will be a question mark if they will even make the Playoffs if that was to ever happen because any team Harden is on Harden carries to the Playoffs every single year without needing a Play In Tournament and without needing All Stars to play with him if we were to put any version of Harden on a team like Kemba's Hornets teams or D Book's Suns teams without CP3 and KD then he would've gotten those teams to the Playoffs every single year especially in his MVP Regular season when the Hornets had Dwight Howard and Kemba had the worst Regular Season choke job out of any star in NBA History by making the Hornets blow a ton of double digit 2nd half and 4th quarter leads just by bricking a bunch of shots, Free Throws and layups in the final minutes of winnable games the Hornets lost that season 💯

    Not that the Bucks would give him up, but I would take Jrue Holiday over Dame. Why do we forget defense until its playoff season?

  24. Rock Well

    Two elte scorers are on a same team and neither wish to sacrifice?

    I thought about AI and Melo, then Luka and Kyrie, it did not end up well

    I don't think Harden is under pressure to win a title if anything, I think the Sixers are under more pressure as an organization to deliver than Harden, in and of himself. If he performs like how he did in the 2018 playoffs, folks will give Harden a pass if the Sixers don't deliver. Dame, is under more pressure than Harden, but honestly, if he wants to collect the bag in Portland and retire, then good for him. He'll still be a first-ballot HoFer, Top 75 player, one of the greatest shooters God's ever created and a top ten guard in NBA history. I say stay in Portland and get the bag.

    It’s never fair to mention Jason Tatum without Jalen Brown and I hate the media for that

    Damian lillard now has the worst contract in nba history, Damian Lillard does not even come close to Harden, Stephen A is delusonal. If Philly gets Lillard it will be the end of their franchise.
