nikkas think this deal just came out of nowhere today for a major player like Dameseemorecizzy
Superstar
you can tell the gm is pissed based on how he wrote that shyt. But blazers won like what? 33 games? and they wanted to run it back with a rookie who plays dames position?
That was such a easy pick to trade. They clearly wanted to move on too, Dame just blinked first

This will be a stain on the portland franchise if they dont trade him to Miami

Why would it be a stain on Portland?
This is what people don't get, if a superstar demands a destination and you don't oblige then good luck signing another superstar in the future. You have to cater to the players in order to look good to future signings. AD wouldn't go to Boston cuz of how they treated IT.
dude better get ready to play for those mormons
They aren’t a FA destination anyway. They’ll probably do him that solid, but they don’t really need to make moves to attract FA’s. They build through draft and trades

List of superstars that have signed a contract with the Portland Trailblazers without having been drafted by them or traded there in their 50+ year history of their existence:
Damn you're right they really need to acquiesce to what Dame wants or they'll never be able to attract all these stats like they used to

Nah you gotta give your current team 2 or 3 options for that to valid in my opinion. Demanding to be traded to one team is strong arming.
But Spurs did that to Kawhi, completely ignored his new team demands and sent him to Canada. No one looked at them any differently

It would be a mark against them by any decent free agent, superstar or not. The last thing an organization wants is a bad rep among players.List of superstars that have signed a contract with the Portland Trailblazers without having been drafted by them or traded there in their 50+ year history of their existence:

Portland isn't being "forced" to do anything. He has 4 years left on his deal and he does not have a trade clause. Yes, he can tell the team he's traded to he's not playing there but that's all he has. What would he do? Sit out?
Portland's GM needs to have some balls and get whatever he can out of Miami or shop elsewhere.
