  1. Saying Dame never had help is disrespectful to CJ McCollum .. CJ gave him 22+ every year .. 24 in the playoffs

  2. The Heat constantly make deep playoff pushes and finals appearance while constantly being told that its Jimmy and a bunch of no1 undrafted players now Jimmy was on this stacked team with all these great players. Wtf we talking about! The media really don't want this trade to happen.

  3. So were going to ignore Dame played alongside Lamarcus Aldridge and a Cj that had a better try out than him. Dame is only an all star when the 5 other guards didn't play enough games stop the 🧢

  4. Nobody is turning on Dame. The guy stayed loyal for as long as possible. He earned a trade and a chance at a chip

  5. the chemistry is going to be fine because jimmy and bam can play off the ball and have no problems with it

  6. Over dame ?😂😂😂😂wtf y’all really be hating dame average 32 last season more then all of them combine 😂😂😂😂he’s a top 75 all time for a reason and top 5 scorer for a reason and the best clutch shooter ever 😂😂 the heat will definitely be the best team not just in the east but in the whole league nobody will stand a chance

  7. Y’all got to be straight hating like no way y’all said heat wouldn’t be the best team not just in the east but in the whole league if they get dame dolla him plus butler makes them the clutchest team in the league and dame plus butler and bam it’s too much for anybody to handle 💪🔥

  8. Lol These Takes Are Funny Asf The Best Team Wins, Talking About Chemistry When The Miami Players Half Of Them Wasn’t Even On The Squad Last Year Or Wasn’t Even In The League. It Just Goes To Show You It’s Undrafted Players Better Than Some Of These NBA Players Who Get Chance After Chance And Be Hot Garbage

  9. So Acho went from complaining about Dame not requesting a trade to him complaining about how Dame is responding after asking for a trade?

  10. 🤦🏽‍♂️ I hope this trade happens and when they don’t make the finals i want them to have this same convo 😂 cause bro they get rid of all those pieces and replace them with dame (who is great) but is he 4 players great no lol but we’ll see

  11. They forgot to mention that they added back a former HEAT player in J Rich that is a great defender and shooter. They also upgraded to Bryant from Zeller. They still have a few minimum contracts to go get players like C Wood, Saric,etc..

  12. People on here talking but Dame can't replace 4 players he doesn't have to nobody recruits like pat Riley

  13. I don't want Dame if it cost us Jaime, Yovic, Robinson and Martin. He's not making up for all those players plus the ones that already left with Vincent's and Strus' departures. That's what GM'S around the league. want for Miami to gut their team for Lillard. Because although they will take 2 steps forward they will also take 3 steps backwards. Putting them in the same as they were before or worse. Lilard is not 26 yrs old. Because they'll have zero depth. Add Liliard to a team that has all those players then they're the best team in the league bar none.

  14. Joy is right, they're better WITH Dame and any argument saying otherwise is nonsensical. Since, to Shady's point, the guys they lost are replaceable. They've already been replaced fr
    With the additions the Heat have made, they're still the best in the East
    I hate that Milwaukee somehow seems to STILL be favored… Jimmy went down too, not just Giannis. In all honesty, it would've been a sweep of Jimmy hadn't went out 🤷‍♂️
    Giannis played really well in 2/3 of those games iirc. He averaged 30+ when he came back and lost both games 🤷‍♂️

  15. Acho is so dumb. Dame was responding to a stupid isolated comment. He wasn't just randomly throwing that comment out there for no reason.

  16. I hate to say this , but someone who lives in Portland I’m proud what he’s done in Portland, but I’m glad he’s going . Get that ring 💍.

  17. No team has gone to back to back finals since warriors 2019. So not sure how it’s a lock that heat will do what lakers bucks and GSW ( all reigning champs) couldn’t do 🤷‍♂️

    12:55 no one gets a pass from losing in finals because they were driving force.
    2022 Tatum
    2021 cp3 took em from no playoffs to finals
    2016 Steph blamed for 3-1 lead gag
    2011 & 2014 Bron got criticism
    2008 Kobe took it for losing to Celtics, can’t get it done without Shaq they said etc

  18. He had a Better 2guard than Jimmy. CJ was a killer!! Miami still would need SIZE to compete. Jokic is here to stay that small ball no good no more

  19. Jimmy + Bam + role players can get to the finals but not win. 2020 + 2023, they always got out-talented in the finals. The Heat has been in pursuit for a superstar since Lebron's departure & haven't acquired any. And no, Jimmy ain't it. He's almost one. But he ain't one. Dame's a legit superstar. You can find replacements for role players till February. How many times would a Dame be available? And how many has the Heat missed on? So, do it now; worry about the role players later. They need about 3 or 4, coz they already got Josh Richardson back and still have Kevin Love. Then Thomas Bryant. Austin Rivers as backup 2? Wes Matthews, Derrick Jones Jr. (former Heat), Terrence Ross, + other potential players who will be up for trade in Feb? I mean, they have time and options.

  20. 🛑 it shady Dame/ blazers were in the western conference finals in 2019. And have been in the playoffs a lot since 2018. But the Steph/ warriors kept them from advancing.

  21. I've been saying this. NOW we gonna see how Dame performs when expectations are chip or bust. It's a COMPLETELY different pressure. Loon at Jimmy Butler, He has his best performances when he's the underdog but when he was in Philly and they were the favorites to come out the east, they got knocked out in the Semis. All I'm saying is pressure bust pipes or make diamonds, I'm curious to see if Dame Time works when that pressure is off the charts
