Always thinking their guys can get it done.
Lillard is the first in a long time that has returned that loyalty. They would get blasted by most fans for trading fan favorite Lillard, even though they need to.
Really they should have traded CJ 6 years ago to get Dame a longer wing that can actually score (CJ can score, but sucks on Defense like Dame). But GM Neil olshey was way to loyal to his evaluation of talent and fit.
