CJ McCollum is pretty overrated tbh. I'd take him over DeRozan but they're both empty calorie players. Lollard is a monster but can't carry a team to the postseason by himself; half the Blazers' roster is injured and pretty awful to begin with.
Listen how is it that the Blazers are worse than the Spurs with their team being better than the Spurs. Dame is A superstar and Derozan is a bum how can the Spurs be better I don't understand it. Most of us here would trade DeRozan and Aldridge for Dame and CJ but these dudes seem to be worse chokers that our guys.

LA took a trash roster to the playoffs two years ago but Dame can't? Aldridge at 34 is a better player than Lillard.
Blazers have a lot of awful players. Nurk and Hood are good but both are out for the season so it’s really only Dame, CJ and that Simons kid that are good. They lost some quality depth from last season and I honestly think the Spurs have a better roster on paper.
?
Blazers aren't good though...
14-18 >>>>>>>> 14-21.
Never mind that Nurk and Hood are out. DeRozan and LMA just took it to the Dubs in overtime!!!!
Neither are the Spurs but most people in the basketball suck off CJ Mccolllum and this dude is a worse player than DeRozan. Before the season started Woj was interviewing him and Won said the spurs run was over and the Blazers are the new Spurs well they look like the "New Spurs"
Blazers are in a much tier situation, too. They'll get better for sure once Nurkic is back, but the humungous contracts given to Same and CJ will effectively prevent them from adding the depth/quality third star that they need to go from playoff fodder team to true contenders. With Dame and CJ being 29 and 28 respectively, they still have a window of a few years to get some moves but it's not looking good. Dame simply doesn't have the defensive ability to truly carry the Blazers and CJ is a Danny Green-like icy-hot chucker. Both on long contracts that will be difficult to move (some blazers fans are already turning on CJ).
As much as people here like to cliff-jump over the Spurs' current and future situation, I'd take ours 10 times out of 10. Much like the Raptors with DeRozan, the Blazers' stars are not good enough to carry a team to the Finals and their supermax and other large contracts will handicap their future.
Derozan sux
Not really, if the Blazers were healthy with Nurk, Collins, and Hood they would have a better record that us.
Pretty much every team in the west has a better duo than us; LAL, LAC, GSW (when healthy), Pelicans (when healthy), Nuggets, Mavs, OKC, Utah, MIN and of course HOU. If not for injuries to other teams and our good coaching, we would not be making the playoffs right now.
LaMarcus lead a garbage roster to the playoffs with his teammate who was a top 5 player refusing to play. No excuses Dame with CJ should be able to ge t it done period!!!
DeRozan and LMA>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dame and CJ every time

Forbes over gay murray and walker
Lillard is better than any of the Spurs Player. CJ is younger as DeRozean, besides that i think they are equal. There is still a difference between those 2 Teams: Portland has Key Injuries, Spurs dont.
Spurs also have likely played to date much softer schedule.
CJ McCollum is basically Bryn Forbes with more shot attempts tbh
Yes, except for the good coaching part
Collins, hood and Nurkic being out has really hurt them. Even with those injuries they are neck and neck with us right now. And we are totally healthy.
Complete roster swap right now. Blazers’ roster or spurs’ roster...who you got? Easily blazers for me
Spurs have been one of the healthiest teams this season, blazers are one of the unhealthiest.
Blazers will still end up with the better record in the end unless they decide to tank.
Spurs fully healthy, vs an injured Blazers and not just 1 player injured, but significant rotation players. I agree with Robz.
A lot of y'all are missing the point I'm not talking about the whole roster. I'm comparing the two "stars" on each team. Ba d supporting cast should be null because let's be honest no one here thinks that Bryn Forbes or Marco Belineli are better than the replacement players the Blazers are playing with. Y'all keep giving dame and CJ the injury excuse well DeMar and LA should get the same excuse for poor coaching. This team has lost at least 8 games due to poor coaching. Damien Lillard losing has nothing to do with injuries the problem is he's a chucker who comes down court and shoot 35 footers instead of finding the open man or making the correct basketball play.
Forbes > Lillliard......................................... ...........Says Pop.
