Dame Deal gonna go down Saturday, July 15th, his 33rd Birthday. Bank it!
Trade him already! “Let’s get into IT!”
I feel bad for you guys Dame wants to be in the best place in the world 🌍 🤷🏻♂️
Love Dame. Loyalty like no other. We have to do him right just like Drexler. Send him to Miami. Doesn't matter if we get only 2 1st rd picks. Our future is set with Scoot, Sharpe, Walker n Murray. Scoot n Sharpe will win a title. They r that good. 1st game tonight at 4. Can't wait
I hope Portland drags this out. The pressure is not on Portland here. They are already operating on the plan that “Dame won’t be on the team anymore.” And frankly, much of the valuable assets won’t be in Portland in the summer of 2023. They will be drafted in later years.
Portland has a very interesting and potentially lethal young core. I hope the Blazers hold out, wait for a truly spectacular offer for him… Because there’s really no other option here. If Miami really wants him, they better get together a serious offer.
Otherwise, Pat Riley overplays his hand and Dame ends up in Boston, Philly, Brooklyn, or some other team.
Jayson Tatum is working hard to get Dame recruited to Boston already. Portland’s greatest Ally is time. Damian Lillard is under contract for the next three years with a player option for the fourth. He would be a great player still in Portland in the fall if they don’t make a move yet. Time is the enemy for Miami. Other options can come available that will knock them out of the “Dame Sweepstakes.”
I truly hope Portland plays this well, and gets at least 3-4 firsts and a GOOD SF or big to grow with the young players. Time is the Blazers ally.
This is the ugly phase of things.
I’ve been convinced no one wants to play with dame since Lamarcas left. No one! Portlands trade market went sour too with his fragile ego looming everywhere in Portland and the GM having to treat him like a vintage glass Christmas ornament. Him running his mouth that athletes wanting to play with the best of the best in the world was a bad thing. Diva lillard I’m my eyes.
Embid coming to Portland…Dame stays
3 team deal:
Blazers
Horton Tucker
Vernon Carey Jr.
2 future picks from Jazz/1 from Heat
Heat
Dame
Jazz
Herro
Nikola Jović
So over Dame at this point. Weird that he’s decided that playing in only Miami is worth burning all the goodwill he’s built up the last 11 years.
The best outcome for Blazers deal with Heat is going to be underwhelming. I do think time is Blazers friend but not confident how far FO willing to play hard ball for best deal.
