[Highkin] As someone who’s covering the Dame situation and is close to it: I just want to know one way or the other so I can figure out how to cover the team going forward. If he doesn’t ask out now, I never want to hear about it again for the rest of his career.

If he doesnât ask out before this season then itâs pretty clear he is never asking out.
Yeah, thatâs not going to happen.
Youâre gonna hear it again and youâre gonna like it
Lol thatâs why we F5
just curious, arent Dame rumors in the offseason great for beat writers bc they get so much more twitter engagement / podcast listens when rumor season ramps up like this?
i doubt people will tune in/retweet as much once Dame gets dealt, or if they announce Dame is all good with the organization and wont be traded.
This dude prefaces by saying heâs âclose to the situationâ and proceeds to basically say âI wanna know what the fuck is going onâ
The balls of NBA media being like, âboy I wish we knew about which way this Dame situation is going.â
My brother in Christ, you made the Dame situation.
Yeah I don’t really give a shit about this guy and how he feels about Dame.
I love watching Dame play but goddamn do I hate this drama.
the i’m not running from the grind insta post is gonna hit like Ted Williams in 1941
This is like the NBA version of when you wait too long to call someone and then itâs late at night and probably too late to be polite but the longer you wait and think about if itâs too late to call the later it gets and then you finally are like yeah imma do it right now but the you look at the time and itâs way later than when you first were about to call and you kick yourself for not calling but maybe now this time it really is too late and then the cycle continues
Pretty much the whole world feels this way
I will say Dame has learned very well from LeBron on PASSIVE AGGRESSSIVENESS
He shouldnât have to ask out. The team should trade him and take the bad media while dumping praise upon him.
Isnât there someone you forgot to ask and itâs a random beat reporter. Sorry you have to do your job lol
Dude gets to cash checks, get called loyal, and the team gets blamed for the loses. Dude has it made.
How fucking entitled lol. Dudes acting like teams arenât constantly changing so the âI want to know how to cover the team moving forwardâ is complete bullshit. Heâs just impatient haha
This dude found a way to victimize himself over this, I mean props to him
As if some random dude can decide that if Dame doesnât ask out now heâs never allowed to change his mind in the future lol. this is not about you or the media or about covering it.
Lol. Reporters are supposed to report the news. Not pick sides.
This is amazing. Imagine being mad at a player for not doing what you want.
Nobody gives a shit what you want – just do your job and report the facts, dork.
Nba media are a bunch of bitches lol they donât owe you shit
All you mfers discussing hypothetical outcomes over and over is so silly
Who da fuck are you?
Lol yeah! Lillard, you better start planning your career around making this guy’s job easier!
What a clown.
I don’t think Dame or the Blazers will pay much attention to Highkin’s feelings on the matter.
Shut the fuck up Highkin no one lives their life according to your irrelevant media coverage. Piss up a rope!
A reporter reports. WTF he talking bout, âI need to know how to cover this teamâ?
Pretty entitled reporting lol. It should be looked at realistically. Portland isnt winning a title anytime soon. Making the playoffs as a play in is whats realistic at this point. Its hard to even judge a team when you arent even making the playoffs.
Oh no won’t someone think of the poor beat reports
