Dame asks for trade (And there it is)

it's from HeatNation.com

 

Than dame will rightly deny it………… unless he agrees

 

why would Dame deny it if he wants to go to Miami?

 

Exactly. They are working together on that messaging

 

Middleton and maybe Jrue.

 

The downfall of the Big Market is:
1) Trying to win now. Not being patient.
2) Getting those free agents that aren't named Giannis or Jokic, and pretending they're just as good.

 

I would be willing to bet my house that he won't refuse to play if he was traded elsewhere.

 

let’s hope so!

 

We shall see. I don’t own a home so I won’t take your bet.

 

Yeah all this shit comming from Miami leads me to believe they are getting real desperate. They let go of or traded all those role players and are now realizing they don’t even have the assets to acquire Lillard so are turning to the media for help to scare off other teams. I’m surprised Riley didn’t think this through more clearly, obviously he had little to no respect for Cronin’s abilities as a GM. I’m also surprised he thinks these tactics are gonna work on other GMs around the league. Dame isn’t sitting and potentially losing out on money from endorsements and his contract. Miami is in desperation mode, I love it.

 

fake droppin dimes posting a trade we should actually take

 

Yeah. It's from Pravda South Beach or Heat Report.

 

If this real, dame dead to me

 

id do this and ya mama every day of the weak and twice on July 4th

 

I love uncomfortable if it means a big win for the Trail Blazers.

It must have been uncomfortable for Minnesota to be fleeced by Ainge.

 

I'll take it because my highest priority is a young, high-level, defensive role player to play with the Sheesh brothers, along with draft picks.

 

It's all talk, obviously. If the Blazers trade him to Boston or Philly or New Orleans or the Jazz, he's not going to sit out. It'd be worse than saying "Hey, you know that guy wearing the letter O the last 11 years for the Blazers who boasted about he didn't get caught up in the nonsense and just went out and did his job because that was the right thing to do? Just kidding."

 

I don't know if it's so much working together as it is just standing back and letting Riley win a leak/PR battle

the key is Cronin not falling for it, but people are naive to think that when any star who asks out and has preferred destinations, the team the star is on hasn't already lost major leverage

it happens with just about every star, and when the preferred teams are out there, the competing bids are going to be weak, if there are any bids at all

I can't believe that people didn't expect Portland to face a situation like this if it got to the point of Dame asking out. You can hate Dame all you want for what he's doing and what you think he's doing, but it won't change the situation the Blazers are in. It was ALWAYS going to end up a pennies-on-the dollar deal. The Blazers chose this path, and they chose it over the course of several seasons

 

I’d take that right now

 

The owners would be livid.
