I don't care where Lillard lands. I only care about what is best for the Blazers team. I care even less about Lillard if he isn't committed to doing all he can to make Blazers better. He is under contract, and Blazers shouldn't do anything that isn't best for the team. I don't mind if Lilard asks for a trade as long as he plays basketball and doesn't fuel the distraction the media was going to create, no matter what Lillard says. Honestly, if Lillard doesn't ask for a trade, the media will pretend he did.
The Blazers are, in fact, doing best for the team by managing the team on a long-term timeline. Blazers are not a win now team, and there is no realistic path to get there. Blazers don't need to trade Lillard, but they should define the circumstances that are better than keeping Lillard. This should be done regardless of the media distraction. Blazers should be all business. There is no place in sound judgment for emotions.
Best thing that could happen is no one attends any games Jody sells for minimum to phil knight fires joe Cronin and probably Chauncey billups also and rebuild everything
Joe Cronin is a lying crook. And worst of all to Damion Lillard a man of principals. Unlike Joe Cronin and the rest of the office sheep.
I expressed how much I want to spend my hard earned money for this team only to see they are turning this on Dame is unthinkable… in my 20 years as a fan I never imagined turning on the hand that carried the franchise into relevancy…
I've been li b in in Florida seems like it's time to make the switch to th e heat
clippers got K Martin Jr for 2x 2nds,
Toppin 2x 2nds
Jalen McDaniels 2years 9.3mil
they could improve even with cheap deals, its clear they didnt want Dame back
2 more deals to be done so the jobs is complete.
1. Jody sells the franchise.
2. Chauncey is replaced with a top development coach (for Scoots, Sharpe and the rest to reach top potential)
Scoot and Sharpe are going to shock all of you. watch
Dame seems self centered. If you really think about it
I left my 1st comment at the begining of the vid now that I'm to the end and just heard Eric PREACH! I just got choked up, I am with you 💯 Dame has shown us time and time again who he is! That old saying, when someone shows you who they are, believe them! Goes for all parties here.
Portland looking like they will have 2 g-league teams next season
someone other then Trendon Watford needs to get fired from this organization. I'd start with the GM, then work my way down.
Paul Allen is twisting bones in the grave
That clip at the beginning though 😅🤣🤣😭😭
I don't understand why you guys are so cynical. Cronin is a liar, I'll give you that. But for the better part of 10 years the Blazers traded away their draft picks in the hope of building a championship team around Dame. It failed miserably. Since Cronin has taken over as GM they have kept their draft picks. We'll have to see how it goes, but it looks like they have drafted well. Why not give Cronin the chance build a team through the draft for a change. I don't think the Grant signing is contradictory to that plan in the big scheme of things.
pelicans i reckon are a sleeper zion and some picks for dame would be decent. the more i look at miami the more i realise they just dont have the package they definitely need a 3rd team to facilitate the trade and no team in the east is stupid enough to facilitate dame to miami
we have the right to trade him to a contender that contender doesnt have to be miami
I'm in denial this happening, I want Dame to get wherever he wants.
I don't care if we get 2 2nd rounders and a McDonalds happy meal because no one could give us what he is worth to us as a player or a person.
I hate our front office so much right now…
Jaquez being a promise from Portland is next level conspiracy man, bonkers thinking.
Man… Lillard much Like Roy helped drag this team out of the depths of medicrity. He literally changed how the game was played with his pension for the long ball. Ushering in the 3 point shot era as first option offense with Steph. He did so much in the community as well with his summer camps and RESPECT initiative. He always spoke like a man well beyond his years and was so confident in his abilities. He could have brough this team a title no doubt in my mind if he had the help. Its just sad this team never got him the correct/healthy big man rotation once Aldridge left. I too am saddened when we lost the late-great owner PA bc he really cared. The new regime just didnt have the same heart and soul to pour into this roster sadly that our players deserved. Dame deserved the keys to the franchise for as long as he wanted. And he would still be driving us to the promised land if most had their say. WRIST CITY ; ) will miss Dame more than he knows. We know he tried and its all we can ask but the front office flat out failed our GOAT and fanbase. They will be exposed guilty of betrayal. TRAIL BLAZER TREASON. Plain and simple betrayal.
ALL I CAN SAY IS DAME BETTER GO TO A TEAM IN THE EAST. I hope they send him to the Nets for Claxton and filler. THEY NEED A STUD DEFENSIVE BIG to fill this roster out. Every big on this roster right now aside from Nurkic is raw, unproven, unskiilled.
God speed DAME.
I’m not nearly as worried as others. I love dame and will miss him but I’m happy for him, I hope he gets a ring. I’m lookin forward to seeing scoot and shaedon playing big minutes. It’ll be a tough year to watch but we could be a really fun team kinda like charlotte year before last.
All the people saying they won’t watch now because the franchise sucks are lames, if anything these show will be more interesting during a “rebuild”
I'm embarrassed to be a Blazer fan when I see all these people saying Cronin "lied to Dame" and "They owe it to Dame to give him away for Miami's garbage"
Cronin and the front office tried to make the deals to build a winner but the other teams just kept lowballing the hell out of him (in large part because of Dame's public statements putting pressure on them to trade the #3 pick, that really killed any leverage had) and Cronin said "no thanks" to mortgaging the Blazers future for the crap teams were offering for our premium picks and young pieces. Which is a good thing. A chance at MAYBE a 2nd round playoff out is NOT worth Scoot Henderson and Shae Sharpe. They also don't owe it to Dame to set themselves back years by giving him away to Miami for a "package" of steaming hot trash. The ONLY thing that matters now is what is best for the TEAM.
Does Nurk fit into the Harris trade exception?
I'd then do the Dame salary for Simmons, Sharpe, Clowney and a bunch of picks.
I'd want Dame to have the best chance to win in Brooklyn, so keen on leaving O'Neal & Dinwiddie on the roster with him.
Get dame TF outta here and never speak on that nigga again.
