Now in the offseason, players are having more time to relax and sit back at home. While they’re at it, these players have also taken the opportunity to be more active on their social media accounts.
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard has been doing just that, answering questions thrown at him on Twitter.
He was recently asked who he prefers to play for his team, if he had a chance to choose anybody from the league’s current stars. Lillard was honest to reveal quickly that it is New Orleans Pelicans forward Anthony Davis, who he wants to see in a Blazers jersey for a long time.

"L" for Lillard
It won't happen for obvious reasons. But it's dope to think about Lillard on this team

Maybe. No... Probably not.

God I wish Lillard or Drummond had slipped a little in that draft
It's for the best that they didn't, I suppose - we probably still would have taken Rivers regardless, and then I would have broken everything I own.

He posted LSB, it's gotta be Lin, Smart, Bledsoe.

Any chance that S stands for Schroder?

I'm starting to strongly consider this. Look how much talk its generated

It wouldn't be surprising.

he got what he wanted by tweeting that out....
its also a win-win for him. No trade= Dell was working a trade, just fell through. I was still right. Trade happens=I told y'all I'm the ultimate insider

This. People need to stop falling for his nonsense.

Whether his info is legit or not his analysis is usually pretty spot on. Leading up to FA based on what he's said about what he thought Jrue would end up taking I was predicting a starting salary of $20.5. It looks like he will be starting at $21.7 when most national guys were saying the Pels were going to have to pay near max to keep him.
MM said the Holiday was signing for $27 per. He signed for $25 but there's $5 million per year extra in incentives. I'm interested to see what the incentives in Holiday's contract are because incentives are usually hard to reach and $5 million is a lot for that. I'm wondering if the $27 figure isn't right and there's $1-2 million worth of games played/injury incentives that Holiday will easily reach.
If he's trolling us, which he may be, his trolls tend to lead to productive, on topic conversations. I get why he rubs some people the wrong way, but some of you are acting like you're jealous which is just silly unless you're a Fletch alter.

There is a reason Woj and other highly respected insiders do things the way they do.
The moment MM or the BSS people spit out a name of a looming transaction before Woj or one of the insiders get to it. Or at least release the bucket of names in consideration and what the deals of such transactions are broadly centered around. You know, things that you can go back and verify the authenticity of when the transaction occurs, or can be corroborated with independent sources like said insider mentioned above. Prove they can hit on a couple of those and then I will take speculation like this seriously.
Heck, it doesnt even need to be the big things, where was MM when it was David Aldridge getting the scoop on our visit with Nick Young? The first big post Jrue FA move?
But for someone supposedly plugged in, its extremely fishy how they never seem to have instances like the above to develop a credibility for vague stuff like just got posted.

What do you guys think I get out of it? I want less followers, not more. I don't want any praise or thank you
I have info that none of you guys have access to and sometimes I feel nice enough to share some of it. If you don't like how much I share or the details of it, don't listen. But I am not trying to get some kind of props. Even when I give you guys the good info and it comes true, you don't give me props anyway. So, don't think that is my intention

You want less followers? Interesting
Posted on 7/3/17 at 4:52 pm to Jizzamo311
Yeah -- thats why I gave up the account with 5000+
You wouldn't believe how many HUNDREDS of questions I got per day this time of year. Its so annoying.

Honest question: When has your info come true? I admittedly don't follow you much, but the things I've seen recently are general assumptions that any informed fan could make.
I want to believe you have inside information. It gets me excited, given that BSS and you are some of the only people who cover the Pels.

I definitely remember he called the Diallo pick before it happened and also the fact that they were trying to trade up to take him.
Posted on 7/3/17 at 4:56 pm to Dayman
You mean like when I told you MONTHS ago that they had two offers out to Jrue -- a 4 year and a 5 year and that their goal was to start him just below AD's number? Or when I told you definitively that the 2017 1st rounder was going to be traded for a big in February. And then it happened. Or on draft night when I said 50 minutes before it happened that they were trying to trade up for Diallo and then, of ALL the players they could have possibly picked, they traded up for Diallo --- like things like that? Is that what you are talking about???

Mac I think dishing info is great.BSS guys tend to tease info which is annoying. If you don't want to share the info, then don't. If you do, then share it. Teasing info, seems like you just want attention, even if you claim you don't.
Note, Mason and Jake are way worse at this. Those guys would lick a chimpanzee's butthole to tease some info on Twitter.
