re: HC Terry Stotts out at Portland...

I definitely feel like Dame is frustrated right now, but I still think it's a VERY LONG shot that he actually tells the org to trade him. And Portland isn't going to trade him if he doesn't ask out. He puts butts in seats and he is a great teammate. Despite what we fans think, I'm sure Portland's owner would rather be a perennial playoff team indefinitely and keep fan interest hight versus going through a two or more year rebuild to hopefully one day surpass this ceiling of a 2nd round team.


It's not like they are a pels type of team where they are fighting tooth and nail every year just for a shot to make the post-season.


I think the only way portland even considers trading dame is if they either unequivocally win the trade (virtually impossible) or if Dame demands it. And I just don't see Dame doing that.
