Dame Lillard is in an abusive relationship and is fine with it.

[Serious]

If he's comfortable with the decision not ring chasing in his mind, then I respect it

He's the one running shyt behind the scenes.

If you're in a position of power why would you easily give that up.

 

[xXMASHERXx]

If he's fine with staying and never winning anything that's fine. He just needs to stop sending shots at players who aren't

 

[Da King]

Why does anyone feel sorry for him? He wanted to be loyal to his owners

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

10 seasons in the league. He hasn't been able to break through because frankly, he's not as good

He's never had anything remotely close to Thompson/Dray/iggy etc. on the same team... so why even bother with that comp. CJ was the best he had and before that LaMarcus for a couple years... that's it.

 

[MJ Truth]

No matter what his friends and family says he puts on the blinders and continues to be mistreated and is fine with it

We all know women like that

He needs to ask out but he won't. He's already Filthy rich so I know money is not the problem. He sticks around because he likes it

He needs that supermax breh. Once he gets it he may change his tune.

He's not loyal to the owners, he knows he has leverage in the organization and he's using that leverage.

Like I said, Lillard has power in that organization. He's lowkey orchestrating moves in you're really paying attention.

Anyone who doesnt think Lillard is in on these trades and blazer staff dismissals ain't paying attention.

And I've been saying as much for the longest.

Why? Ring chasers are always gonna catch strays... that's the climate that was created now.. Either way. it wasn't Dame that forced Durant out of GSW... Durant wanted to leave because he felt he had to in his heart... he didn't feel he really proved much on GSW

he already got that

 

[Serious]

he already got that

Supermax extension coming this offseason.

Lillard already secured that.

I'm telling yall he got Portland by the balls, not the other way around.

Dame is loyal to his money first.

Honestly.. there's no reason to leave at this point. The org never secured another all-star or two to be his running mate but at the end of the day.. if he goes and teams up somewhere people will still complain..

He's just gonna have to be cool with the half billy he'll earn from bball and im sure he is

 

[Hypris]

Lillard has been through this before. LaMarcus Aldridge, Westly Matthews, and Nic Batum all left the Blazers and they had to rebuild around Lillard. The difference is Lillard is older now. He doesn't have time to wait. If the Blazers can't put a competitive team together this summer, Lillard's going to want out.

Alright. And you’re going to ignore the rest?

 

[mvp_status]

So many people think its impossible that not every star player is willing to leave a comfortable situation solely to ring chase

A championship dont pay the bills like that supermax does

 

[Darealtwo1]

Abusive relationship?

I'm tired of these slants, from people who don't follow the day to day shyt.

As it stands, Lillard is really the GM, if you're in the know...

He's the one who orchestrated the move to get Neil out the paint.

Joe Cronin, legit listens to Lillard.

Everyone keeps saying Lillard should just ask to go somewhere else.

Now why the hell would he do that, when he has so much power and say where he's at.

He's not going give up power to be second option.

Breh legit got the blazers pay his cousin for the past 2 seasons:

JR Smith was getting his bro in the NBA too

Goran had his bro in the NBA as well

 

[WesCrook]

To further that point... nobody views AD as a champion. All the credit went to LeBron. AD's still called "soft" by everyone in the media and rightly so nobody wants to see AD as L.A.'s #1 option..

This is the climate now. There's always gonna be critics unless you are Giannis and you stay and win with the team you are on... Nobody criticizes Giannis AT ALL... his legend grew because he won it with a couple "all-star/borderline all-star" players instead of a Super Team.

And asserted himself as a true leader....instead of being "one of the guys"
