    OR...did Miami shift focus because they got some intel about Dame's intentions from Dame's good friend, Bam?

    The tweets were:

    "Please make up your mind Dame"

    "Stay tuned in a bit"

    ???? Something happening with Dame?

    Even if Dame wins a title in Miami, they won two last decade and one the decade prior. It'll like be more of a Butler/Bam title than his. Wade and LeBron will be considered better title winners, and likely Shaq as well too. Dame will probably be in the conversation with Haslem, Ray Allen, and Chris Bosh for the key Heat players that assisted in winning a title.

    If he wins a title in PDX it might be the most impressive of this century in the whole NBA up their with Dirk and cement him in history. I think he would greatly prefer that chance, but he wants to have some sliver of a chance here.

    Yeah. Also, I know he and others around him says he doesn't care about what anyone else thinks, but I think all the folks telling him to leave and run from the grind actually makes him want to stay more than it makes him want to leave. Just a hunch.

    Best hope to keeping him is maybe convincing him that shit happens in the NBA and you never know when Embiid or Giannis or whoever may come available out of nowhere. No one thought Harden opting in to get traded was even an option till it happened.

    Apparently he was posting things before Wojo was. Out-scooping him so to speak.

    Maybe Blazers have tentative agreement for Cam Johnson or an unrestricted MLE free agent Dame is good with? Cronin also has tentative agreement with Grant.

    Or Miami is pivoting because the Blazers and Nets have agreed on the framework of a deal and Dame told Bam.

    This could go any direction :NOTMARIS:

    I don't know for sure what he thinks or would think, but I am guessing that Durant doesn't regret winning titles with Golden State in spite of the team's success before and after him being there.

    Harden and Luka would be worse than Irving and Luka.

    It was apparent Durant was very upset he didn't get the credit and it all went to Steph even when he was finals MVP. He might have enough ego to think he could've got the title in many cities and got the bulk of the credit. He sure didn't seem extremely happy in Golden State even with the two titles.

    Dame going to a Miami isn't a guarantee he gets a title either. Yes I think he'd rather have a chance at one there then no chance here. But if he had a real chance here even if it was much lower I think he would greatly prefer that. He doesn't want a 0% chance though.

    Called a bunch of stuff like Harden opting in to get traded way before Woj.

    Some interesting ones:

    KAT to PHX or DAL maybe.

    "Please make up your mind Dame" <- Whatever this means

    As much of a flaky guy as Harden is he still way better than Luka and carried a team to a quarter from beating one of the best warriors teams of all time. I'd much prefer him if I'm Dallas.

    Although both of these guys have major issues.
