Dame asks for trade (And there it is)

So LaMarcus ditching us is now on Dame... that's rich. The nonsense that Dame was the one holding onto CJ should have gone away initially just do to the fact that we traded Will and Plums but it was proven to be false when as soon as Olshey was gone CJ was gone too and Dame wasn't pissed in the least bit. I don't know why the team signed Grant... oh wait a minute they haven't yet, they could easily pull that offer during the moratorium but they've said they're not going to even though Dame is leaving... hmm it kind of looks like everything you're trying to put on Dame is bullshit.

 

I agree it is very important to not get steam rolled into a shitty trade. There are several good teams who could likely offer significantly better packages than Miami. This is a big key to the Blazers future to extract value for Dame, IF, and I stress iF, he is obstinate about playing hard ball to go Miami then me take it to the MAX. All gloves are off

 

All it will take is another team to get it in their heads that they can convince him to buy in and I think we could send him where ever is the best return.

 

All I ever hear is how Dame is in on every discussion, about how highly respected Dame is around the league, how everyone wants to play with him. Yet no one of note signs here. Other players are quite successful at recruiting their friends, yet somehow you let Dame off the hook. He's as much to blame for the construction of the team as anyone else.

 

If Cronin has no spine, and only tried to appease Dame, why do the Trail Blazers still have all their draft picks from 2022 and 2023?

 

Maybe that Utah isn’t a team interested in Dame but they are interested in being the 3rd team that helps facilitate the trade?

 

I read a comment that if Joe was so cautious about not giving up to much on draft night to surround Dame with established star, why would he be quick to give in to, a shitty trade while Dame is asking out and where too?
I expect Joe to play some hardball and wait tell Miami can orchestrate a three team trade.

 

100% Dame was done dirty in spite of sticking with Portland for so long. I blame this whole situation on the FO.

But for some of us, it's hard to take his words at quite the same seriousness if he's truly demanding a trade to the eastern conference champs.
If that's the case, it sounds like maybe Dame judging people who were in search of a ring was more of a "you haven't walked in their shoes" kind of situation. He could come out and say, "as I get older, I see why people prioritize winning it all" and it would be different for me. I would see that as a change in perspective.
Leaving Portland is one thing... Demanding a trade to the Heat is the part that I feel diminishes his previous statements (as they stand).
Who knows, maybe Miami might have made it closer to a ring this year if their 20 ppg Herro played. Dame will quite possibly be what pushes over the edge for yet another ring, but he's not exactly helping a mid level team.

 

Droppingdimes20, who ARE you? You goddamn psychic

 

he was talking about KAT in PDX

 

Wrong but he definitely got some stuff right. It was an impressive run.

 

for fucks sake. if you can't trust him with even the most basic function of the role, fire the guy.

 

no, i mean he was posting about Scoot/Sharpe/KAT as a trio moving forward this afternoon

 

What? When? He said Minny tried to do something involving us, Phoenix and Dallas but it didn’t get far.

 

Are you sure it was the right account

 

i dunno for sure. twitter isn't loading for me now to confirm

 

He keeps deactivating and then activating. People usually screenshot his tweets. I haven’t seen any regarding KAT and us.

 

i must have seen wrong then
