Their in no rush to trade him period.
Woj why we doing this fam?
The trade package The Heat offered is insulting
Fans are getting mad at the trailblazers for not wanting to get trash in return for dame, dude is a top 75 player of all time are y’all delusional or something 😂.
Like I said that loyalty stuff go out the window when these teams have to do anything for them. Man gave them years now it's uh yo bad.
Dame still going to Miami 🤣 it’s literally impossible to get a return of superstar status and Portland needs to understand that. Extending the inevitable
Portland should Trade Damian Lilliard to Minnesota, for Karl-Anthony Townes. Pairing Dame with Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert, gives The Minnesota Timberwolves, (2) Dynamic Scorers, and (1) Defensive-Minded Big, capable of Covering some of Dame’s Defensive Deficiencies.
Damian Lillard has 4 years left on his deal, he has no leverage! There's no way he's just gonna not play with all that time left on his contract. Blazers can trade him to OKC if they want and Dame will have no choice but to suit up.
It’s crazy y’all even talking about my team y’all never talk about the blazers there’s a reason but still 💯
They really refuse to rebuild it’s crazy.
They making sure he don’t get a championship. He should have signed that contract with them. But took lil less move to championship team then resigned max deal. Feel sad for dude cause his loyalty cost him
As the blazers should the heat offer isnt good they can find a better package
I don't like Elle Duncan 😂😂😂
We saw this last season with KD and the nets. Woj speaks for the front offices. Shams speaks for the players. In the end dame will end up in miami. All that's happening in portland is trying to maximize their package.
and why hasn’t portland found a good trade package then ? 😂😂😂
Bam going to the Blazers! Dame going to the Heat🤷♂️
Who cares?
Keep Harden. Get another nice piece for Tobias, they need a dawg type of player.
All that means is there are no offers better than what Miami is offering. Cause thats the only team offering anything.. keep him.. at 60Ms in a rebuild… lol its the Blazers fault.. they set up everything to HAVE to trade him.. and the market is what it is
Calling it now Harden comes back and him and Embid both leave next summer . Think Embid is probably even saying to him let’s run it back for one year
When she laughed about James being out at a party but then heard Embiid and the owner were there too. 😊
Harden not that dude no more
Woj asking himself "will this be the day I get fired?".
There in no rush to win a tittle for once in there life either 💁🏼♂️
Honestly Portland doesn’t deserve a dam thing in return! They had a DECADE to do right and did NOTHING. Nothing shy of embarrassing I hope everyone involved NEVER gets another job in the NBA. Pathetic franchise to say the least
These chicks suck. how did all these talking heads get cut in the latest ax drop at espn?
Annoying, doesn’t know sports.. not even polished as a presenter.
Whose nob was slobbed?
He’s going to the Heat
I don’t see anyone else trading for a disgruntled dame. As much as espn keeps talking about Philly getting him, the reality is he doesn’t want to be there. Embiid most definitely isn’t going to force him there either. He understands guys want to play where they want to play. It’s getting to the point where superstars of that caliber despite not having a no trade clause can basically go where they want. If embiid asked out for example to the Knicks – I honestly think Philly again would have no choice but to trade him there unless he have a few options. He has been extremely loyal to Philly for a long time and yes he’s made a lot of money but the reality is – they would likely have to do what he said because of the hesitancy of other teams to go all in on a guy that doesn’t want to be there. Although personally I think if embiid ever asked for a trade he would end up in LA, or Boston… lol
Heat are in no Rush to trade for Dame*
Also I don’t like the new revamped espn. All these new anchors are boring me
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
At this point I don’t think Harden will be winning any ring while Dame still got a chance but let’s see where he lands
Heat fans don’t realize blazers don’t want any more guards 💀 they gonna have to give up 4 first rounders minimum
Portland Messed up by giving Jerami Grant so much money, it reduces their desire for a gaurd like Herro
Woj still has a job.
We forgetting that Bradley Beal went to the suns for a bag of chips and a 2nd round pick
Then y’all need to stop talking about it every 3 hours smh just dry making videos just to talk and say the same thing y’all said yesterday
Joe Cronin pays woj salary
Why would they be in a rush ! You fools just can’t help it
This feels like when KD requested a trade to the Suns. Woj and Shams consistently said the Nets weren’t in a rush to trade Durant, and they wouldn’t trade him before the season ended. They also said the Nets would take offers from all teams (which they didn’t)
Eventually fans will realize certain front offices use guys like Woj as leverage to feed the fans with BS.
Except lillard isn't a champion and he's never been a mvp. He won rookie of the year.
People acting like lillard gets a say in it. He doesn't. They'll try to accommodate him as best as possible but in the end, The Blazers are looking out for themselves. Now its a business decision.
I heard that the pdx GM worked for espn and you can tell! Cuz they are doing their best to discredit anything dame and Miami can do. It’s crazy how one sided these convos have been
Nice
