    This is info from the most reliable source on youtube when it comes to the NBA, dude breaks stories before literally anyone. Has sources in the league that go back to the 90's. Basically has a plant on every team in the league

    That was a weird trade. People were confused when it happened because Gary Trent Jr. is apparently clearly better than Powell. Gary Trent Sr. was also traded to the Raptors 23 years prior. Both father and son were in their third season and they both had played 41 games for the Blazers at the time of their trades.

    Dame might be worse than Beard in that regard. In light of this who the heck would want Lillard on their team other than the Blazers?

    Overall, if this dude was so smart he would know most NBA basketball don't mean jack **** in the Olympics. They should have paid the Bucks or a hobbled Warriors core with their team ball movement to represent USA basketball in the Olympics.

    Damian Lillard allegedly being difficult with the Blazers and new coach Chauncey Billups.. Lillard wants the same power James Harden had in Houston, and LeBron had on the Cavs

    lol really?
    You guys do get that this is the same power any 1A star has...Leonard, Giannis, Kd, Haren, Lebron, so on and thats just the way the nba is going to go?

    Why would these cut throat billinoaire owners who have stepped over a lot to get their success give in? bc the economics speaks for itself...nba markets on its superstars and it works and they are generatinga significant chunk of the revenue both in game attention, tv views, and merchandise.

    So just like any other industry if there was a hedge fund whose star trader generated a heavy majority fo the income...you better believe they'd begin to accomodate him as well, bc the market...someone else will easily

    you can keep going back to throwing away these stars, they'll win elsewhere and have a good time doing it. popovich the last guy with the clout to run it hte way he did even has adjusted nad knows that they cant do that in modern day. what next? we hiring Jeff Boylen to bring some good ol authority 'ledership' to these spoiled millionaires? SMH...

    it may not be ideal, i hear ya man, buts the nba economics of the future and if we don't..we lose
