/r/Ripcity: For Portland Trail Blazers Fans

This dude on a ROOKIE DEAL threatened to leave the pelicans, so they went and got him CJ McCollum and he didn’t even bother to text him to say “welcome to the team”. Dame played through a core injury for 5 years, Butler played on a bad ankle to carry his team, Giannis played with a fucked up back, etc. Zion was fully healthy and sat on the bench watching his team lose their shot at the playoffs.

This is not a dude who is interested in competing.

If we are resetting with sharpe, sure go for it, but if the plan is to compete with dame, he solves nothing.

He doesn’t space the floor, he’s an okay playmaker with the ball in space, and most importantly he’s a terrible POA defender and offers 0 rim protection. Assuming he can ever get and stay healthy and he magically doesn’t lose the only thing that makes him good (athleticism), he still doesn’t help us in any way we need.
