      So does Lemmy not have flairs? that makes your statement surprisingly ambiguous 😄

        I wish there is a way to have flairs. I’m a lifelong Blazer fan. Just the thought of letting go of a future with Brandon Miller or even Scoot Henderson (if Charlotte is going to let scoot slip) is baffling to me. Its just not worth a Pascal expiring.

          I agree, you guys need to stop trying to somehow win now with Dame + a bunch of veterans, and continue building on your young core

            It’s what I’ve been saying a lot lately. Everyone is stuck on, “Dame’s the greatest Blazer ever we can’t do that” kind of mentality though. But ya, they won’t be able to build a championship team with Dame. They don’t have enough pieces and can’t bring in that level of player in free agency.

    I feel like they have to just let Dame go at this point it does not seem like Portland is ever going to figure it out.

      Seriously. I’ve been team stay for a while on this but it’s time to cut the cord. Blazers need a rebuild and Dame needs a change of scenery.

    It’d be nice if there was some sort of agreement than he’d extend with us past this season before we traded the 3. That’s really my only concern, but I’m a trade the pick stan.

    Id rather they go after zion at least with him the ceiling is high… this would be a bad move

      An injury prone star? I know some people like to compare his career trajectory to Embiid but nah I don’t have faith in Zion having a healthy enough season to positively affect the team as a whole. It won’t help Dame.

        The fact that hes injury prone is why the pelicans would be willing to ship him off. At least with zion, if hes healthy he can actually make the blazers competitive unlike siakam. Its a far better risk imo

    I don’t see how this could be true AND that the Raps want to re-sign FVV, which has also been reported…
