Honestly Dame sayin he will only be traded to one team and telling his agent to sabotage any other teams from making an offer is even crazier.Whole Blazer organization some bytches. Complaining to the league that somebody only wants to go to a specific team is crazy

The full NBA memo, which The Athletic obtained:
“Recent media reports stated that Damian Lillard’s agent, Aaron Goodwin, called multiple NBA teams to warn them against trading for Lillard because Lillard’s only desired trade destination is Miami. Goodwin also made public comments indicating that Lillard would not fully perform the services called for under his player contract if traded to another team.
We interviewed Goodwin and Lillard and also spoke with several NBA teams to whom Goodwin spoke. Goodwin denied stating or indicating to any team that Lillard would refuse to play for them. Goodwin and Lillard affirmed to us that Lillard would fully perform the services called for under his player contract in any trade scenario. The relevant teams provided descriptions of their communications with Goodwin that were mostly, though not entirely, consistent with Goodwin’s statements to us.
We have advised Goodwin and Lillard that any future comments, made privately to teams or publicly, suggesting Lillard will not fully perform the services called for under his player contract in the event of a trade will subject Lillard to discipline by the NBA. We also have advised the Players Association that any similar comments by players or their agents will be subject to discipline going forward.”
Blazers won't trade him out of spite

Thats not what they said. They said not imply you'll hold out if you can't go to the Heat.
Kind lost some respect for dame. None of this was done with pose or calculation. Just seems very emotional.
Like others have mentioned they lost their biggest bargaining chip by being openly vocal.
