Obviously the blazers did the right thing. If Lillard moves on, Scoot will be forced to play more and improve quicker. It’s good Billips is a former point guard. He’ll teach the youngster the tips and trics, the nuances of the position.

John, it looks like you may get your wish. As the soap opera plays out, this comment from two weeks ago rang a bell. Since it now looks next to impossible for the Blazers to get full value in any trade with Miami (Heck the only player they have that comes close to Dame is Adebayo and that's due to potential not current stats. Butler makes zero sense as he is a year older than Lillard and scores ten points less per game). Damian could issue a statement something like this. "Since it is now clear that Miami is not willing to negotiate in good faith to make a trade happen, and since I do not wish to do anything to hurt the team I have helped build, I'm withdrawing my trade request and plan typo retire a Trail Blazer when my playing days are done. In the meantime, let's see if any other teams can run with us this season."

I’d like to see them together for a bit.
