    Good to know. Should've been the response on day 1 of these reports.

    Might have taken the NBA a bit to decide how to enforce this as I don't think we've ever had an agent demand this 1 team thing for a player under contract as forceably as Goodwin is doing.

    Shams said sources are saying Goodwin is denying that he called teams saying it was just Miami.

    Lol

    Dame, you let this agent lead you into destroying your brand. You were special. Now you're just another star. I know the situation in Portland isn't great but this could have been handled better.

    Do yourself a favor and fire this dude.

    The NBA is a joke. There’s no other way to say it. They look the other way every year while teams are tanking, then slap the wrist of a team like Dallas if they admit they’re tanking. Now, a month after Lillard demanded a trade to Miami, and the whole league has been talking about it, they tell Lillard to stop talking about it.

    They’re a joke. The inmates are running the asylum.

    I hope Cronin is stubborn as fuck and takes this into the season if a good deal isn’t there to be had.

    They should call it the Loyalty Rule, just to perpetually piss Dame off. Not that we want him angry at us when we have to play him, but to forever smear the image he has tried to convey.

    An interesting development. The Blazers must have called the League and complained that Goodwin was interfering with trading Lillard. I'm surprised Silver actually did anything.

    Man, this is really getting ugly. Handled poorly by all parties concerned. When I compare this to Clyde requesting a trade to the Rockets and how the team placed value in how he had conducted himself during his tenure, shameful.

    I don't believe Cronin was trying to force Dame out. Only doing what he thought was best for the team for the next 3-5 years.
    He always wanted Dame to stay.

    About time.

    Dame needs to fire his agent and also stop acting like primadonna about this whole thing. I don't care how much he has done for this team, let's be blunt: It will be a great fucking day when this is resolved so everyone can move forward.

    Just shut your mouth Dame and focus on basketball, not trying to be an expert at chess.
