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.

Portland ain’t getting nobody anyways. They need to do what’s best for the team instead of waiting for some phantom player to wanna play in Portland of all places

If they are refusing to trade butler/bam they Clearly they need a 3rd team. If I’m the blazers I’m making heat take the grant contract while still giving up draft picks. Don’t even know if it’s possible because I believe grant can’t be traded until January.

AD had one year left on his deal, so he had leverage to force his way to the Lakers because most teams don’t want to give up a bunch of assets on a one year rental.

Dame has 4 years left on his deal and no NTC. This idea that Portland has no choice but to trade him for whatever scraps Miami offers is a bit ridiculous.

Nevermind the fact that the biggest FA Portland has ever signed is who? An old ass Scottie Pippen?

How do we know their preferred destination?

We can only go off the destinations that have been reported.

Kawhi wanted LA right? But they sent him to Toronto

Kyrie supposedly wanted LA but got sent to Dallas

AD wanted LA and it happened

KD wanted Phoenix and it happened

PG wanted OKC and it happened

Harden wanted Brooklyn and it happened

Harden wanted Philly and it happened

Harden wants LA and it seems like it’s about to happen :laff:
