Dame Lillard Finally Requests Trade

[AJtheOne]

For non basketball reasons Miami is a helluva place to be , so I fully understand why Dame wants to be there .

At the same time, they don’t have the assets and he should really expand his horizons . And try some other squads .

 

[No Homo]

Dame only wants to go to the Eastern conference champs and he’s not interested in winning

Come on...Y'all aint the only team he can go to that he would put over the top.

 

[who_better_than_me]

If it was Brown instead of Herro on the table, and Portland wasn't interested in Brown, a third team would have already gotten involved.

As long as he doesn’t ends up on Brooklyn…..

Dame acting like a prima donna

so portland should take back trash they don't even need to appease him and then cronin and billups and haskins are fired in the next few years and thinking damn if only we traded dame for a quality player but instead we wanted to appease his wishes

with 4 years left he has no power at all, portland needs to do whats best for them. Dame can go to miami in 4 years if that's what he really wants

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Portland telling Dame to “stay home” would be like the Miami Heat telling DWade to stay home or the Lakers telling Kobe to stay home


Y’all seem to be out of touch with how delicate this situation is in Portland

Miami heat told Wade he can kicks rocks and let him go to the bulls. Some of these owners don’t give a fukk and others will actually try and fukk you for forcing your way out

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

what can Boston offer besides Jaylen? They don’t have the assets

Celtics can offer White, Williams and they have some future firsts that are still tradeable. But I don't really care if they pursue Dame or not. It's unlikely that they'd want to pay Tatum, Brown, Dame and Porzingis.

How? He gave them a decade to get players in there. He's never played with an all-star. Not one lol. This is all part of the game. The agent starts out saying "this is what we want, etc. etc." and it goes from there.

Portland isn't "forced" to do anything. Dame isn't going to sit out for 4 years and everyone knows it. Portland can trade him wherever if Miami can't come up with a better deal or get a third team involved.

Y'all act so brand new about this

Nobody in Boston wants this dude

GOAT Buss didn't tell Kobe to stay home, but he did tell him he's not trading him after testing the market. He also promised Kobe he was gonna make something happen and he did though

It's portland they've never signed a big time free agent, dame played his quality players like mccollum, aldridge, played on multiple 50 win teams, reached conference semis and even the conference finals.

And for all of his dame troubles in portland he's earned 233 mill with another 174 guranteed awaiting him

lettuce cry for dame lilliard

Well that's another point, if I'm Dame I wouldn't budge. Kobe obviously had reason too

You’re missing the point. The owner would never tell a franchise player in the vein of Dwade, Kobe, or Dame Lillard to “stay home”. That would be conceding a loss in public relations.

Dame is selling tickets in that arena whether or not y’all choose to acknowledge it. The ownership would love to keep him and I’m sure dame wouldn’t mind playing if there were no other option.

Blazers have 2 options. Trade him to Miami or keep him.

Are you really going to sit here and act like that hasn’t happened before with a franchise player

I can name one off the top of my head that it happened with and you can too.
