    Don't really give a f**k about Lillard.

    But the era of the super team has completely ruined what made titles so important. They mean absolutely nothing anymore, and people are idiots for treating them with reverence.

    Dame isn't good or relevant enough for his opinion on this to matter, he's talking about people way above his level

    took a look just for curiosity and in the playoffs, hardens WS/48 is about double dames, a dwarfs him in any advanced metric that exists

    Throwing Carmelo Anthony, who went to Blazers to form a super team with Lillard and CJ, under the bus.

    No one else is going to Blazers to play with Lollard to form a superteam. He isnt on the same level as the ones in top tier.

    He says this now... let’s see how he feels after a few more years with no playoff success.

    He's adding loyalty points from his home team fanbase. it's a smart statement, because that's the only place he's relevant in. He can bank on the local sponsorship, with just local-ties, he'll be set for life.

    Without being in the first tier, the next best thing is to be in the next tier but with the bonus of being the face of a team's era. Cementing that perception is a very smart business decision. CJ too, riding along that theme.

    ??? Dude's been rolling with CJ Mcollum and Melo lmao.

    Look at GSW this year they wouldnt even make the playoffs if playins didnt happen and Curry's roster is what Dame plays with every year.

    I think Dame is just as good as Steph Curry too bad GSW got Steph and Portland got Dame. We'll never see how efficient Dame could be if he had 3-4 all stars around him for most of his prime.

    Harden nut huggers are hurt by this one. Lol a little truth got them hot. Dame is a respectable franchise player to have. Portland is lucky.

    I’m totally fine with a player choosing to play elsewhere once his contract is over. Demanding a trade to a specific city and raising a stink if it doesn’t happen is different. I’ve got no problems with any player speaking up against that, regardless of how good they are (and Lillard is really good).

    Damian Lillard has made as it as far as Harden's Rockets, which is the WCF.

    nah...Harden’s Rockets made it to game 7 of the WCF while Lillard’s made 1 token WCF appearance where he got swept averaging a whopping 22 ppg on 37/37/88 shooting splits

    as usual, no one said a word about Lillard’s crap performance

    Dame is a respectable franchise player while Harden will be getting MVP consideration even after causing a **** storm to leave.

    Theres levels to this ****.

    Harden has made it twice and went 7 games

    Harden has never missed the playoffs and has never been swept.
