Dawg…. They step in when it’s us. Nothing about harden or any past stars 🥲
They couldn’t say this about Harden too?
So what does this mean is it just a warning or are they planning on taking action and “forcing” him to expand his list?
r/nba loving this lol
Now do one for Harden you fuck bois at NBA. Why didn’t you do one for AD when he was crying about playing only for the Lakers. Lol you know Pat and Miami Owns the NBA so badly.
This is the most pathetic thing I’ve ever seen from that bald Voldemort looking fuck Adam silver
[removed]
I’m sure Portland is the one behind this. It only makes sense. They want more offers and better than what Miami has offered.
I 100% agree.
This shit has to stop.
​
Players cannot keep demanding to be traded and imposing destinations.
This is outrageous. Stuff like this only happens to us because they’re jealous. Anyone want to boycott the NBA next year?
This is horseshit but he can still tell the blazers FO privately lonely miami and that the relationship is torched after they got the league to do this. Could cut both ways, let’s see
God you know damn well Cronin went crying to silver about how unfair this is for him. Hope he loses his job soon
pat and andy have cronin by the neck they’re going to fleece him, this is desperation at it’s finest. pat and andy prob laughing at cronin, sipping piña coladas in the bahamas.
I don’t think we are getting him now.
This is about as useful as the judge saying “the jury will disregard that statement”
Adam silver is tryna cause another players strike
Where are these so called better offers lol
League can fuck off with this fake caring shit lol. Cronin really desperate now. Air the dirt Dame
Go nuked Earth now.
man im lowkey losing hope bro😭

So basically “okay you made your point Dame you only wanna play in Miami. Please stop repeating it.” Is that what this means essentially?
Dame should expand his list with teams that have no way or reason to trade for him. Like the suns and grizzlies
the nba when a player requests to go another team
vs
the nba when a player requests to go to the heat

Man they can fine or “discipline” Lillard all they want as long as it’s not vetoing the trade then I don’t think Lillard gives a dam about tht more than ending up in Miami
This is the beginning of the end. Upper management don’t step in unless they also hate what’s going on.
In other words Portland got their way to really open trade discussion with other teams.
Same way Mark Cuban blocked the Chris Paul trade. This is Adam’s “David Stern moment”
I am at the point I am finding dame news annoying. I don’t even care about this anymore
I haven’t seen the league this nervous since Lebron and the decision. It’s like the fear of Dame playing with jimmy and Bam is palpable.
Man. If I was Dame I would tell the Portland owner trade me to Miami right now or I’m going to retire. Why is the league so against this happening now? Never was an issue for KD the 3 times he’s done it without a NTC. Never was an issue for AD or Harden. 100% this is that human septic tank Cronin going and crying about how he can’t get 20frps for Dame.
Is Portland losing a little bit of value for Dame that big of an issue? Or is it more about Miami landing someone of Dames talent?
I’ve said it time and time again… Teams don’t own players. Could you imagine getting the job offer of your dreams and not being able to leave your job? No sorry you can’t take that 100k job offer, we here at Arby’s signed you to a contract.
The Blazers were literally never required to trade him here. Kawhi tried and the Spurs sent him to Canada, the problem isnt the list, its the fact that we have the best offer and they don’t like it.
Where’s KD warning lmao
Who cares lol
Cronin is getting desperate lol. If he thinks this will help, we should take one more FRP off the table and laugh as he still accepts it.
If for some reason we DIDNT get Dame, The only person I feel for in this situation is, well Dame. If we don’t get him, we’ll be fine.
Losing Gabe hurts, but we still have Caleb, Duncan, replaced Strus with JRich who is taller, longer, and better 3 point shooter, and defender. Got Thomas Bryant, Orlando Is breaking out, Jovic and JJJ look ready to contribute as forwards, a full season of Kevin Love, and most of all, we’re getting Herro back for next years playoffs.
Plus we still have assets to trade if we need to for another team that doesn’t have a bitch for a GM. We still run the east.
All Dame has to do is include a possible team that has even less assets than us.
Doesn’t matter though. League can’t really do shit.
Now that’s some bullshit. Adam Silver can kick rocks. Its happening.
It’s starting to get ugly
Cronin cried to the league because Blazers were getting no offers. Laughable.
League had to save face so they came out with a statement. Don’t think this will change much in the grand scheme of things. If anything, this may expedite this whole trade process because the Blazers will finally realize they need to move Lillard after they still get minimal offers after that memo got sent out.
Will be surprised to see what teams will jump in these trade discussions. Get ready for a lot of rumors spreading in the coming weeks.
In the end, I am okay with or without Lillard.
The bias against Miami, this can’t be real! As a franchise the Heat is enemy #1 is there really no way to protest this bias?
