As a Nuggets fan I love this, but as an NBA fan I hate it…
Assault allegations from two and a half decades ago hardly seems fair, and as it was the NBA Western Conference is not a friendly place to be for a rookie HC looking to win now…
And if Dame does get traded, you’ve got to believe Billups will become even more hated in the Pacific Northwest than he already is for running arguably the most popular in franchise history out the door. That too, hardly seems fair given that just about every great Blazer (Drexler, Aldridge, etc.) eventually left Portland anyway.
Still, even though they made a good run in 2019, this roster as constructed may be doomed in the #6 seed range. Even if Lillard in fact denies wanting out, if you’re Portland you have to at least consider all your options with this guy, don’t you?
I previously wanted Billups to coach the Pacers, but man, I feel bad for the guy walking into this brutal situation.
Truthfully, before the Pacers hired an established coach in Rick Carlisle, I actually would have been in favor of a Sabonis trade. Portland, likewise, needs to consider all their options with Dame with the team in no man’s land, and regardless of what his wishes may be…
