Imagine making over $550,000 for playing 1 game. I mean, I would do it for 1/2 of that --- and then I would retire!
The Blazers, according to NBA sources, are seeking in the neighborhood of four first-round picks and two quality players. This is the first mention of our asking price, also from the Fentress article.
Windy has some good points, but it's what is being omitted that deserves more time in the sun, mainly the fact that Lillard is trying to pull a Beal without the NTC.
Quality player is such a vague statement. Starter? Young promising asset? Who even knows what that means.
What is the absolute worst team we can send him to? Are we basketball purgatory, or are there worse organizations? Is keeping him in Portland and refusing to trade him the best punishment?
Yeah, he fits well with the Heat, but I question how he would fit here. We would have to overpay to keep him next summer. I am more interested in JJjr and Jovic and a matching salary (Plus the picks)
what does that mean? I find it hard to believe that this is the first time ever a team has ever confirmed they received a trade demand from a player
It means that Dame/his agent are not vulnerable to penalties from the NBA because the Blazers publicly talked about the trade demand.
Somebody somewhere is retweeting the KingSpeed guys thoughts and "inside info" on the Dame situation.....imagine that. Calling him a "Blazer Insider"
you are aware that Dame's agent has explicitly said he's been telling other teams that Dame has no interest i playing for anybody other than Miami and would be unhappy if they traded for him. Again, it was Dame's agent and he said that it's not a stretch at all to believe that Dame's camp went one step further BTS and threatened he wouldn't show up for other teams.
