    I cannot get behind the pay wall to verify this (came on my facebook)
    but
    If it is true
    This is complete chicken **** by Portland.
    Trade him . .. don't trade him but putting Dame's on it . . .is passing the buck
    An Attempt to evade any blame on how the next season goes. . . .. .
    This is why I hate these kind of rumors and "announcement"

    Based on headline; it's the wise thing to do. Don't want to unnecessarily tick Dame off.

    Dame will be in his 10th season next year. As great as he has been the Blazers are perennial first round exits. Not sure of the solution but the LMA nor the McCollum teams have not been good enough.

    Is this not the same situation that happened with Harden?

    Good show by Portland to run things past their franchise player. If they lose, it's completely because of Dame's decision-making but you keep him happy.

    I wonder if Dame knows what they need to do….. Exactly what they need to do. Trade CJ and a bunch of number 1 picks for John Wall cause that’s mah best fren. After it fails the next year he can then proceed to claim that the team is broken, can’t be fixed, demand a trade destination and quit.




    Man, ya’ll ever notice Harden sounds exactly the same every summer. Glad I don’t have to hear it here.

    That seems to be the problem now with these players they get to pick and choose who's on the team like they own the team these owner have let this get out of hand.
