Damian Lillard, Blazers Expected To Agree To Four-Year, $191M Supermax Extension Good for him but blazers dumb to give him that much. They need to find a way to get involved in the AD sweepstakes
If he don’t get the max from Portland then someone else will give it to him. Nobody’s going to these smaller market teams to play, so they gotta keep the stars they have and give them the Supermax
I want bruhs to get the bread but shyt like this is why they will remain a treadmill team and will never have a ring or Finals appearance.
I don’t know but I don’t think you can win a title in this NBA with Dame as your best player I guess it all just depends on what’s important to you as a franchise
When you reach the Western Conference Finals, are you really a treadmill team or have we lost all sense of what that term means?
swap any player you want for dame.$ the blazers still wouldn't be a good enough team to get that ice ha*
who are the players that have won titles in recent memory as their teams best player? Bron, KD, Kobe, Chef, Wade, Kawhi, Dirk, Duncan, Shaq, etc That's a short list of guys, you can't operate under the mindset of scrapping everything and continuously starting over until you're able to draft/sign an all-time great. Especially when you just reached the WCF with an incredibly flawed roster.
As opposed to what? Starting over and tanking in hopes of maybe in 5 years, making the WCF like they did this season while missing one of their best players? Portland isn't a free agent destination and their GM sucks. Might as well ride their current success out and hope to get washed by the warriors again for the next few years while selling a ton of tickets Only a handful of teams have won a title over the past 20 years, it's not the end all be all for the majority of the league.
Your a middling team in a mid size market coming off first WCF in like 16 years. Thats the best place to be for a team in rhe west no named spurs lakers or warriors
