    Damian Lillard and Bradley Beal are 2 dudes id want in my army if i was at war, their loyalty is something VERY rare in life itself, not just the NBA. Edit; it only took them 10+ years of losing each, to switch teams.

    Don’t kid yourself bruh. The Bulls may end up having a great season, but as of today they have not done anything significant to prove that these signings willl directly correlate to more wins and a deep playoff run. You never know how 12 teammates (or even 5 starters) will gel until the games are played. Before last season Portland’s front office was almost universally praised for the “amazing off-season acquisitions” they made! Next thing you know, a key up and comer (Z. Collins) goes down with a season ending injury, then second year player Nassir Little misses time, followed by CJ missing 20+ games, followed by Nurkic missing another huge chunk of yet another season. Then Derrick Jones wasn’t able to figure out how to consistently contribute as a starter. Then came the realization that 2 of their main Bench players (Melo and Kanter) Were historically horrendous on defense making them almost unplayable together for large stretches of any game. So all of those amazing off season signings made to help Portland get over the hump failed to live up to the hype/expectations. Hopefully Chicago has better luck this year than what Portland had last year.

To him going from a poor kid in Oakland to a multimillionaire who can raise a family in a city that loves him is more valuable than a championship

    I definitely agree, that the Blazers Organisation has wasted several opportunities to really get the full potential out of the generational talent that is Damian Lillard. However, looking at the teams they fell to, I‘m seriously asking myself if the Blazers had made it to a single Finals if they had made better trades and managed the team better? After all, they ran into the 2014 Spurs, the 2015 to 2019 Warriors (3 times), and the LeBron-AD Lakers, some all time great teams, all of which would go on to become NBA champions. The loss to the AD-led Pels is really a missed opportunity. However, the other series weren’t even close. It‘s not like they were one or two smart trades away from beating a 73-9 Warriors team; that very team with KD added to them, the all time great Spurs, or even LeBron and AD. I still would love to see Dame on another team, that really gets the best out of him, and have him finally contend for a chip!

    For real, Lilliard is one of the top ten players in the NBA today. Sad that he’s in a small market. They couldntt get him the talent to produce a championship. The best teams always had 3. The Spurs with Duncan, Parker and Ginobilli. The Lakers with Ac green, Kareem and Magic. The bulls with Jordan, Pippen and Rodman. You have to have talented players around you to win a ring. If the Blazers get on board with this ASAP, they’ll be good. If not, Lillard needs to find another fit if he wants to get a ring. I respect how loyal he’s been, but man, at some point maybe you need to jump ship.

    I'm not sure if he is a top 10 player anymore. You can easily say that Embiid, Joker, Giannis, KD, Steph, Luka, Lebron, and Kawhi are better than him, and can argue Ja, Tatum, DBook, PG, AD, and Zion.

Only difference is Dame has made it to the playoffs continually. At this point Dame's body is what's going to fail him and that's just sad for everything he's given to the Blazers. Them and Hornets are both in the second tier of my worst franchises list, this is why.

    @@xraider9091 They've done an abysmal job? I think not. The Pelicans did an abysmal job with AD. The Timberwolves have done an abysmal job with KAT. Portland has made the playoffs every single year Dame has been in Portland except for his rookie year. The highest draft pick they've had since he's been a Blazer was 10th, which they knocked out of the park by picking CJ McCollum. They've always had decent teams built around him. They've always been competitive in the ultra stacked Western Conference. If this team was in the East, there's a decent chance they'd have made the finals. It is INCREDIBLY hard for a franchise like Portland to build a super team, which is basically what is needed to win these days (especially in the West). I'd say Portland has done an admirable job of building a team with the minimal resources they've had at their disposal. But I wouldn't expect an idiotic casual to understand the difficulty and nuance that small market teams face in building a contending roster. You're the kind of fan whose contributed to the current state of the NBA where small market teams exist solely to develop talent for the Lakers, Clippers, Heat, Nets, and Rockets and to fill out the schedule.

    I HATE the ongoing false premise of loyalty in PRO sports. There is NO SUCH THING. Lillard is a superstar player, and the Blazers pay him for it -- that's the whole relationship right there. E.g., if Lillard were to suffer a career-ending injury, the Blazers would move on, and if Lillard ever wanted to move to another team in free agency, he'd be more than welcomed to do so.
