Greatest Blazer ever.

And this is different since he at least for the finals twice.

Clyde requested a trade because they were starting to rebuild. But it was during the middle of the season when the Blazers were clearly out of the playoffs.

I don't have a problem with Dame requesting a trade, but the timing is horrible. Should have did it before the draft.

If he had just kept it on the low and only told the blazers where he wanted to go...he probably in Miami now.

But him and his agent wanted to show out for the camera's and now he stuck on a team thats rebuilding and already drafted his replacement...twice...
That was my impression as well. Tbh the whole loyalty stuff he’d been going on and on about on social media for the last couple years felt more passive aggressive than anything imo. So I wasn’t surprised by Portland’s response once he asked for the trade.

Apples to oranges but I thought the way CP3 handled getting shipped to OKC in ‘20 was a gold standard.
