    I think it's going to be Toronto and I think if they put a good enough offer out there Joe won't even call Miami to hear a counter because Toronto might have an offer that Miami can't even beat.

    You think we're most likely team who Dame ends this season on?

    I went Toronto also because in my perfect world we get OG, Precious and Gradey and whatever filler. The Ayton deal can be done separately or combined. But I’d love Portland to get those three from Toronto.

    It should be an option for people to choose.

    Feel like Brooklyn has the best pieces to work with.

    I’m gonna guess Toronto as of right now. ANYWHERE but Miami. I’d even still root for him as a Laker if it were possible.

    Agree other than Laker. Just cannot do it. I can pull for him in Toronto. But he will be public enemy number one in Miami.

    it's Dwyane Wade's fault. If he wasn't amazing and popularized Miami, none of this would be happening.

    Though all the trade scenarios are fun, I'm really not buying all the smoke. I still think we end up disappointed with Dame in Miami.

    Toronto.

    They have the best assets

    It's a smart move on Toronto part as their winning the trade, PDX just wants to move on

    Blazers ownership doesn't like the Miami pressure or 1 team list and will be happy to not see the Heat get their way.

    If Lillard had done his request in private and with a team preference as Hart/CJ/Norm/etc did he may have got his way. But stars never realize the world doesn't revolve around them, and they try to push ownership which is never smart. When Dame asked out with 1 team he lost all the years of power and leverage he had built.

    I said Toronto too.

    What is weird is that early in this process I think we all would have said Miami, because that's where they wanted to go. It's just incredible to me that he's burned so many bridges here that we all kind of seem to almost be rooting against him going to Miami.

    He's had some piss poor representation throughout this ordeal.
