I think this situation also just highlights the flaws in the mindset of saying to players just re-up your contract, get your money and THEN ask out.

If the player asking out wants to go somewhere to contend they're making it very difficult for the team trading for them to not lose a huge amount of pieces just to get him.

Dame wants to have his cake and eat it too.....get me to Miami but also make sure they only give up scraps so I can play with multiple superstars. KD tried the same shyt when he forced his way out of Brooklyn.

Mf got four years left and he wants to dictate terms.

This nikka Dame got 4 years left on his deal and trying to dictate terms? Homie forgot he don't have a no trade clause.

I'd send his ass to whomever gives me the best deal!!! What Danny Ferry got? :pachaha:
This. :unimpressed:

This fool isn't gonna retire if he doesn't go to Miami. I don't wanna hear about his feelings being hurt when he has 4/$200 million remaining on his contract to play ball.

A lot of this predicament with Dame could have been avoided had he not keep bringing up the topic of loyalty and other players running from the grind.

He was literally creating problems for himself when he didn’t even have to. Even Beal learned to take the money and lay low until you’re ready to go elsewhere and the media will help you get there.

Dame did the opposite and is now becoming the person that he always used to complain about. He gotta get that slander and rightfully so.

I’ve seen and heard comments about how he should be traded to damn near every team in the Association without any other trade offers to show for it :dead:

WE HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT MIAMI OFFERED
BUT THAT WASNT EVEN THE POINT.

PPL ARE IN HERE ACTING
LIKE A PLAYER REQUESTING
A TRADE TO A SPECIFIC
TEAM WITH YRS REMAINING ON HIS
CONTRACT IS SOMETHING
UNHEARD OF.

THIS shyt HAPPENS
EVERY YR.

BEAL JUST DID IT
2 WEEKS AGO.

That's true but those other teams offered acceptable packages in return.

Unless Bam is in the package, Miami is offering garbage. Herro, two firsts and a couple swaps is a terrible offer, especially when Portland already has a glut of guards.

Seth Curry and the ghosts of Andre Drummond and Ben Simmons is that much better than Herro and assets to you :aicmon:
I'm referring to his trade to Brooklyn when Houston got control of every Brooklyn pick through 2027. :unimpressed:

The Nets panicked on the trade to Philly but he was also a free agent after the season. Dame has FOUR more years left on his deal. Not comparable. :unimpressed:

WE DONT KNOW
WHAT MIAMI IS OFFERING
OR WHAT PORTLAND IS
ASKING FOR.

EARLIER THAT SAID PORTLAND
HAS BEEN TALKING TO EVERYONE BUT MIA.

If Miami was offering Bam, we'd know about it and they'd probably already have a deal done.

You said "Now compare what each package was to what Miami is offering."


Let's start here:

"THEN THE FOLLOWING SEASON

Seth Curry and the ghosts of Drummond and Simmons are really that much better than a Herro package?
