    What we NEED is to trade Dame anywhere but Miami. If we do it, Cronin is done, we are the laughing stock of the league, and the Lillard Method (TM) will become the standard and no undesirable location will ever win a championship ever again once the Jokic era is over.

    I think you're going to be disappointed because Dame will be in Miami and Joe will keep his job.

    We aren’t getting Trent. Trent is pretty much the same player he was when we traded him, and he hated his time here.

    The trade suggested in that tweet isn’t happening.

    You can put Bob Keeshan in a German uniform but he still looks the same.

    Woj says Miami has NOT been part of the recent trade talks.

    Hahaha... this is hilarious! I know that many of us are fearful of a fleecing and ready to turn the page, but man, you can't say that this hasn't been entertaining! :laugh:

    I've been pretty ambivalent after coming to the acceptance stage from my intial grief.

    If he gets traded now, cool. If it takes til, Feb, cool.

    Keeping expectations low for our return anyway so it doesn't matter when it happens.

    I also do NOT find this entertaining.

    You mean Woj is out of the loop? Guess that means Riley is out of the loop too as Cronin works an end around trying to cut Miami out in a hush hush manner.

    If that trade actually happens it's Cronin just doing it to spite Riley....and then the Raptors will trade Dame right to Miami for the package of picks/Jovic/Jaquez haha.

    Huh?

    The news for the past 24 hrs has been consistent. Cronin is working the non-Miami market. We've heard from various sources of Chicago/Toronto/Philly as destinations. Whether these are legit discussions or simply leverage plays is unknown.

    But at least it should increase Miami's motivation to improve its offer. That they have not engaged with Portland is interesting.
