It starts with that Roy Hibbert (Dodged a Bullet) offer. Then cuts a little deeper knowing what we now know about Enes. If you add in Firing Kim Hughes for telling the truth it can actually make you nauseous faster...
He's under contract. He will have to wait. Another player, not even a star player alienating a fan base and trying to push his way out. Not good for the league.
That's why a Dame trade has to wait. There is zero motivation, even by the team that finished in last place, to give up much for Dame, before the season starts.
LMAO. Who TF does Marcus Morris think he is? That's like Trendon W. loving the idea of teaming up with Nikola in Denver. Morris....LMFAO.
No the fans don’t care if Lillard gets a chance. I only care about making the team BETTER. Sorry Terry
Agreed. I love Terry, but I disagree with him on this. I'll be happy if Dame winds up in a good situation, but not as happy as I'll be if we get good value out of his desire to leave.
Nonsense. I'm so pissed at Goodwin, and by extension his client who hasn't fired him, that I could care less where Dame ends up. Sure, if we can send him to a contender and it's a wash (other than Miami, because FUCK MIAMI!) then sure trade him to the contender. If at the mid-season mark when we finally trade Dame it's to a team that's trying to make the playoffs and we get a huge haul, I do that instantly without a second thought. Sorry Dame, but your agent's behavior, which you continue to cosign by not firing his ass, has burned up your brand and any "loyalty card" you thought you had. Do this behind closed doors and name 3-4 contenders and you'd already be on a new team with your brand intact, but no, you got greedy because $450 million wasn't enough. You had to publicly and repeatedly say just one specific team already tanking your value, but then you also have your agent poison the well with 28 other teams. You want Miami? Well too bad, you can go to Minneapolis or Detroit for all I care. I couldn't care less about seeing Dame on a contender. When I realized he was being traded on draft night, I was all about Dame being on a contender and seeing him hoist a trophy...then the horror began. Even Drexler left with more class than this, far more. Jesus. And lets not kid ourselves if he had a career ending injury halfway through the Miami season, he'd have his jersey in the HOF be a Heat Jersey. Isn't that crystal clear by now? It is to me.
Excuse me if this has been discussed, but are the Heat offering their own picks, or ones they’ve acquired? Because if it’s the former, it’s a bad deal for Portland. The addition of Lillard should make Miami one of the best teams in the league, which means their first round picks for the next few years are going to be toward the end of the first round, and not where the difference makers are found.
A lot of different answers. But 2 of the picks are years away....when Miami might not be as good. One might be sooner but still might be ok if Miami "manages minutes". Look at their pick in June while making the finals. Their pick was # 18
