After Kyrie Irving demanded a trade out of Brooklyn, how did you handle your situation?

Once he asked out, I was just trying to figure out what direction the team is going in. Once I had no understanding of what direction we’re going in, I tried to make the best decision for me.

Do you feel vindicated?

Nah. Hell nah. I want the best for that organization. I wanted the best for us every game. I hated it had to go down like that. I wasn’t trying to prove the Nets is a s—ty organization. I was trying to prove that the Nets are a great organization, that they care about their players, want the best for their players. Certain s— just didn’t work out. I understand that. I’m not here trying to prove that the Nets was wrong, I think they did amazing by me the whole time I was there, not just with the trade. Coming off the Achilles injury, get back into playing — they made sure they were there for me every step of the way. And I appreciate that for life. I feel like we’ll be tied as family members for life regardless of how it finished.

I was listening to “Bart and Hahn” in the car and they were talking about Portland possibly moving on from Dame and how playing in New York is a place he might go. I was thinking :jbhmm: on what Nets package for Dame would be. I punched out up the ESPN trade machine and I got:
Dinwiddie
Harris
Thomas
2-3 1st round picks

I think that’s a solid package, Dame with this roster is a playoff team. If Marks could sign or draft a big with Claxton and it’s a good team. Not saying this could happen, but Nets definitely need to have a big move to stay competitive.
I want nothing to do with Dame. His contract is atrocious.
