Ethan Skolnick and Greg Sylvander break down the ramifications, with an emphasis on the Heat’s history of being targeted by the league.

My favorite heat news channel
Don't forget about kyrie team hopping
This is really bad imo
I remember AD wanted to only play for the Lakers. KD wanted to play for Nets, etc… what a bush league. NBA is getting worse and worse.
Perfectly suited without assets????
This guy thinks he is a reporter and not bias, but then goes on to say that other teams don't want Lillard. 😂😂😂. Utah would do it, okc would do it, golden state would do it mid season when the cp3 thing doesn't work, philly would do it. Ny would do it. Brooklyn would do it. Toronto would. Lakers would do it, clippers would do it. All would do it and have tha assets to do it as long as he will play for them and not immediately request another trade. Also we don't even know if pdx cried….it might be the rest of the teams who want lillard.
Doesn't matter though …Miami is going to get lillard but that is because portland has always just done what lillard wants. He owns them and he has screwed them in the past with is stupid requests and now will screw them again.
Man, you Heat pundits have a huge chip on your shoulders thinking everyone is out to get you? This is not Portland motivated. The NBA is clearly trying to get in front of having every player regardless of their agreed contract dictating whenever they want what specific team they want to play on. That's the point. This wasn't pointed at Miami, it was pointed at players and agents telling teams not to trade for them. You guys don't know Portland very well. Chronin has gone out of his way to trade players to where they want to go. CJ, Hart, GP2 were all traded to team by Chronin to teams where they wanted to play. Miami is the logical landing spot for Dame for the playing reasons you give and most everyone thinks that's where he lands. I use to like rooting for the Heat. Whiners like the podcasters here are putting the dark cloud over Dame ending up in South Beach. Just relax.
How come they do not threaten James harden?? the Blazers want to keep Dame Lilliard and are faking a trade request, that is why they are forcing Miami to trade Bam and Tyler, that is not going to happen and they know it, and they are rebuilding, whether they say they are not. and they want Damian to make these rookies into stars and then sell those players at at a high price later creating a farm for star players using Dame as the teacher and a walking ticket-sale. This is a bais against Miami and the Blazers are now using David Silver to force their narrative and not appear as the bad guy….
It’s fine dame is still coming he just can’t say Miami publicly but we all know he only wants Miami
Dame will cost: the two first rounders, the OKC first, any first you get in a trade for Herro, three pick swap options, JJJ, Jovic, Caleb, Duncan, and Lowry. I mean, y’all should feel good about that..some rotation players along with mediocre FRPs.
Also “Portland crying”…lol, says the bellyaching cohost. If Riley did this you would be calling him a genius.
So in everyday life people can and go from city to city, state to state for work and do so freely even if it means breaking employment contracts but basketball players can’t?
We gotta calm down with all the "because it's the Heat" narratives, I think the main reason reason it's at this point is becuase Cronin wants a treasure chest for a 33 yo pg
Dame gave soooooo much to POR. What ppl don’t realize is he would’ve made more money in a bigger market where he would’ve already had a ring to his name. POR has squeezed this man dry & are still trying to get another drop out. This shit is pathetic at this point
