Nick's burning desire to have Lillard on the Heat is blinding him to reality. Lillard has zero leverage. The Blazers do not need to trade him.
Zion should decide what he likes more: food, or winning. Honestly, I think the answer is food.
At the end of the day Dame will be in Miami lol just a matter of when. Bookmark this
I mean they could just be upping his value during summer and trade Scoot 😮
they all just made the same point lmao
Zion had more accountability in that one podcast than KD, Kyrie, or Ja ever had. That's the difference.
Zion is a total cornball
Nick wants the Heat to get Lilliard for Herro two bench guys and a first lol. Hes unwilling to accept that another team could smash that deal
Tremont Waters deserves an NBA roster spot…. He is better than 65% of point guards out there
Nick what deal should the Blazers take?
Dame for Herro 2 bench players and a first
Or
Jokic, Murray, 3 firsts, and Braun
Nick- The Herro deal is a steal
He said lebron got the blue print but then says its not about diet and losimg weight….. wtf
If im the pelicans i send zion away immediately for dame.
Might burn you down the line if Zion is great but the dude is injury prone af and also embroiled with hoes
Zion should ask out of New Orleans because he hasn’t lived up to his end? Nola has put a good team around him he just needs to play. So tired of the small market hatred from these shows
Talking about NBA 1st round picks like they're NFL 1st round picks lol.
What is Boston or Philadelphia supposed to offer when dame and his agent basically says "it's Miami or nothing" ? Oh well take our all NBA player and 3 draft picks so dame can demand a trade next season. ????
The jazz caught a steal last year let’s be serious lll
Espn: Zion not in basketball shape
Me: man Zion score off court but at a price
zion needs a Big Mo to tell him he's fat.
Not Nick Wright tryna gas up Tyler Herro 😪😴🥱
I just hope miami drop this thing off, keep herro and sign some bigs to help them… Let dame rot in blazers with his 60M. This will b the start of the loyal players to demand a non trade clause, they will think twice that they could be "dame" when they reached the dead end, like luka and tatum.
The blazers always get blessed with great guards (drexler,B.Roy, Dame, maybe cj McCollum on a good day) they need to trade Dame asap and let scoot cook‼️💯
I did not know nick is the Blazers GM……How does he know there's no other offers?? He (nick) should quit his job if Lillard is traded to another team.
So I gotta keep seeing these “ dame to Miami “ post for months ?
Which is nick so obsessed with Dame to the heat. It’s really odd
Zion is such a massive bust. And I don't mean massive because he ate a whole Wendy's.
I wouldn’t believe anything from ESPN there opinions are brought
Nick should realize that a player that was a first round pick is not the same as a future draft pick, especially if that first-round player is a bum
holy cow, nick going grey before wildes lol. check that beard. too many hot takes be making you grey. look at brou.
Zion thinking that the solution to his issues is "band work and stuff" is hilarious
Dame herro jimmy jovic bam. Starting 5. Shipping out lowry dunc caleb jjj orlando 2 1st.
Stop playing dame is going to the heat,ans shame on the Portland for not helping dame.S lebron left the heat with nothing,stop crying!!!
The easiest trade is in front of the Blazers:
Damian Lillard
Anfernee Simons
for
Zion Williamson
Jonas Valančiūnas
Nick Wright is 100% WRONG! Herro has less than negative value to Portland. We already have 3-4 guards who would be in front of him in the rotation AND he's more expensive on a longer contract than all 4 of them. Jaquez and Jovic are NOT the same thing as FRP's because they aren't necessarily players that fit in Chauncey's system. That's why GM's value actual draft picks WAY ABOVE recently drafted players: The GM's and coaches can scout them and select the guys that fit best. And those two draft picks from Miami? 2028 and 2030 are the years for those picks, 5 years away AT A MINIMUM! By the time it's time to make those picks, Sharpe, Scoot and Ant will ALL be due for extensions. That doesn't help us rebuild AT ALL! Is the Blazers plan to rebuild for a decade?!
Miami's offer would be so far below Dame's value that Cronin should be FIRED ON THE SPOT if he accepted it. That trade doesn't make us better and it doesn't help us rebuild AT ALL!! Miami either needs to get another team involved to send us more picks and better players or we'll just keep Dame and Miami can have him when his contract is up.
How can the Blazers pass up Tyler Herro! He's money!
I love Zion! But!
He needs to quit listening to his mom hating on NOLA, and he just needs to play ball. I know she and the family want him in New York, but he has no respect for the players or the game that is paying him enough money while he's injured to take care of his family and friends for life! Dude needs to grow up and be a man!
Tyler avg 20,5,4 how was that a bad trade offer
My point exactly. There’s no need for the Blazers to trade Dame if they don’t like what they’re given.
I'm going to say it Zion is a bust. He doesn't get it and isn't doing what he needs to. Too bad he was awesome
Zion just want to eattttttttt smh
