Dave Ramil, when answering a question about Tyler Herro's value, went with the race card, because "he is white'. He is insufferable. Thank goodness Wes, tries to real him in. Herro is a "fringe all-star player". Fine, It should be REALLY REALLY REALLY easy to get a simple 1st round pick for him to help get this deal done. Are there really 28 teams that are undervaluing him? Thankfully, the have guests like Howard Beck and Matt Moore to bring a level of sanity to that homerific show. Just one of the worst in the whole Locked On realm. At the end, they were proposing keeping Martin, Jaquez and Jovic and not having to give up any of them. They seem to think Lowry, and bad picks in 5-7 years from now and some other garbage is just fine.
Maybe Dame can use some of his influence to get Riley to put together a decent offer for Dame. Otherwise, send him I don't care where - to whomever offers the best package. Dame can then pout and ask for a trade all over again but that is not our problem, it is his.
So now it’s Herro, Duncan, and a shitload of 2nd round picks? Goodwin, Dame, and Riley can all go fuck themselves.
I wouldn’t trade him, Joe will lose all credibility if he caves here. Just stop returning the Heat calls.
Miami goes to a Ferrari dealership with a Nissan Sentra and bag of chips. Good morning Sir, I'm looking for a trade
Honestly the way this is playing out I think the karma gods will be visiting the heat this season, maybe a Jimmy acl or something like that.
Maybe from the media and Miami fans. But I doubt they are getting worse from Riley. That would risk having the Blazers walk away knowing they tried in good faith and got nowhere.
Miami Heat What they get: Jimmy Butler, Meyers Leonard What they lose: Hassan Whiteside, Josh Richardson, future first-round pick -- Philadelphia 76ers What they get: Josh Richardson What they lose: Jimmy Butler -- Los Angeles Clippers What they get: Moe Harkless, future first-round pick (Miami) What they lose: Absolutely nothing -- Portland Trail Blazers What they get: Hassan Whiteside What they lose: Moe Harkless, Meyers Leonard
I think this is a strong possibility. I think it is human nature to feel that way after being "the man" for so long for one franchise. Not sure Dame felt that way, but I think most players would. If he had won a championship it might be different, but I can see a player worrying that the young guys might look better at certain things, and that could sting a bit.
I don't think they are getting worse. Just that MIA homers think because Dame's agent said what he said, that they don't have to give up anything because he can't go anywhere else.
