    Dame is the worst defensive starting guard in the league by a wide margin… unless he magically starts trying to defend, the Blazers aren’t winning anything.

    Even Mike Bibby was a better defender in his heyday than what we see from Lillard the past 4-5 years.

    I don't think it's about trying. I don't think he has the ability to play high level winning defense.

    Because he’s loyal to one team?

    Portland hasn't really surrounded him with much talent throughout his tenure there. They dealt CJ for scraps. Props to Dame for sticking through this.

    Purchased loyalty ain't loyalty

    If the Nets could have given him the same bag without a trade ..... is he still there?

    The loyalty is advertising and marketing.
    There is no path to a championship in Portland
    But there is bag

    Call me when he take a pay cut
    To improve the teams chances to get a championship

    Same with Beal

    So if someone stays with the same team and doesn’t take a paycut, it means they don’t want to win?

    KD stays with OKC, it’s because he doesn’t want to win?

    Lebron stays with CLE the first time, he doesn’t want to win?

    Sometimes players actually do love the city their in. Sometimes players don’t want to move their families across the country. And sometimes they don’t have to and still make a lot of money.

    Dame is so annoying. If he would ever shut the **** up nobody would remember that he or his mediocre team existed

    A Harden fanboi talking about loyalty? Biieeetch please.

    Hey smart guy tell me how Lillard was supposed to take a pay cut to improve the team when he was already signed thru the 24-25 season even before the extension? That ‘bag’ you keep talking about…. it would’ve been available with any team in the league. It’s called a guaranteed contract. Learn about it.

    You tried to throw Dame under the bus while trying to crown your bum ass hero to make him look good for taking a pay cut cause he was actually in a position to do so.

    Typical Harden fanboi move…. Trying to prop him up while dragging down/talking shiit about his peers while being clueless and delusional.
