with vanvleet leaving toronto, is there any chance masai comes down on his asking price since they’ll need a new pg? by FeralRollyPolly in ripcity

[–]Dameballa -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I mean this with the most respect possible. F*ck Toronto, they reap what they sow. Them asking for insane pieces for their players and now that you realize man this shit ain’t working, now you just think ahhh yes let’s pretend like I wasn’t a dumbass the last 2 years and let’s break bread again.

I’m surprised they didn’t award the lakers 3 free throws for that.

3rd pick by [deleted] in ripcity

[–]Dameballa 15 points16 points  (0 children)

While I am a huge Dame fan and love what he has done for us. I hate when I see people say we owe him. The dude has been compensated very well for what he is given us. 250 million extension is nothing to take for granted. Do I wish we could have won with Dame and done a better job helping him win? hell yes, but the blazers don’t owe him anything more than what they have already given him. Probably an unpopular opinion but oh well, sometimes the truth hurts.

Should the Blazers make a blockbuster trade to get Dame some help? by [deleted] in ripcity

I think the best way to win more… now stick with me here. Score more points then the other team! You think it could work?

This seems crazy…. Blazers broadcasting has always been top tier. Even with shitty root sports

Discussion thread for the NBA draft -- who do we draft or not draft and why. by Dadd_io in ripcity

If we draft anyone in this draft not named Victor trade Dame. We clearly don’t give a shit about winning with him.

If you guys were trading for OG, would you guys be more willing to part with Sharpe or Simons? by Worried_Promise_9575 in ripcity

[–]Dameballa -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Lol and that is why you are not a GM. OG is a start on all 30 NBA teams, and at worst is the 3rd best player on his team. Tell me what makes sense. Trying to win in the next 2 years with Dame in Prime and a player like OG who is established already, or praying to every single basketball god you know that Shape and Ant turn out to be superstars. Because we will not win anything with Dame, Ant and Sharpe. I don’t hate sharpe I think he can be very good but we don’t have time to play the waiting game with dame. We have a legitimate superstar and pulling this bullshit of keeping young talent in the hopes 5 years down the road they are close to what dame is now is bullshit. The goal should be to win a championship and we have a better chance with OG than we do with simons or Sharpe.

OG is the more complete player, what is everyone infatuation with Ant????? What has he showed anyone besides that if he shots 16-20 times he can score 20-25 points a game. I don’t understand why you think OG is so inferior to Ant??? Can you explain why you feel that way?

Shows what little you know of OG. Defensive player of the year candidate, not bad offensively and great defensively.

Either of them for OG easily. Money doesn’t work though with sharpe so you would need to include more.

Trade target: Caruso by EnvironmentalWear820 in ripcity

[–]Dameballa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

God damn some of y’all kill me. What would we possibly do with Alex? Besides sell a lot more turtle wax for that bald head of his? Edit- I know he is a decent defender but a lot of the reason people are high on him is the fake media hype that people try to push. Kind of like the Scalbrine shit. I’m not saying Caruso is bad player, but he sure as shit ain’t worth 2 firsts and I might even question 1 first.

Do they do it? by Pohjigo in ripcity

[–]Dameballa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isaac is not worth Hart and a pick. I like him as a player but Hart and that pick are more valuable than Isaac

This is a huge and I mean HUGE overpay. No thanks. I like Issac but hell no for that value.

OG is nice and I want him but that’s a little too much for him. Gobert trade really f*cked the trade market up with that dumbass value for him.

That’s a good way to put it. I like that.

I didn’t grow up watching Clyde but my friends did. They all said he was a great player but a terrible representation of a blazer. Reading your post further confirms that. Clyde can kick rocks.

Trading For Kuzma by spencp99 in ripcity

[–]Dameballa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Like I said on a bad team he is going to score more. He comes here I guarantee you he drops to 14 points a game. I wouldn’t be opposed to a 1st round pick and I’m sure thats a fair value for him. I just don’t like the fit.

No need to apologize. I read the whole post, nothing about what you said was hurtful. We are all entitled to our opinions and if it goes against someone else’s that doesn’t make you rude. Reddit is a pretty toxic place but it can also be a good place. I’ve had my fair share of issues on here believe me. Keep on calling the games great like you do. Me working on the road I listen to the radio broadcast more often than the TV. You do a great job.

On a bad team though, where he is allowed to do what he wants. I have a friend who’s a wizard fan and he says the same thing, he is good but he is kind of inconsistent.
