Give me a break 😂
Kd and kyrie etc been doing it for years but with same now it’s an issue. Silver needs to be kicked out he keeps tweaking the game and cheapening it
The guy wants some changes on his career. Just give him a choice to himself 😤
I'll rephrase the statement credited to Adam Silver……
"Any player, or his agent, who makes comments about leaving a smaller market, cold weather environment, wanting to be traded to the Lakers or Heat, OR if said player is not traded to those aforementioned teams and intentionally sits out as a result of this, will be subject to discipline"…..
Teams tank all the time though lmao blatantly the blazers even sat lillard down at the end of the season to rank so to say this is about and effort thing is crazy lmao
everything is going very well
Free lillard
Talk about Christian wood
All his fronting "I dont need a ring…" Talk just exposes human hypocrisy. You signed a contract and stayed not just out of the goodness of your heart but because you demanded a kings ransom and got it. Now that media pressure all of a sudden got to you, now youre singing a different tune and expect a franchise to let themselves get fleeced amd robbed just so you can weasel out of your contract. Funnier is the buffoons who support him and think he's being victimized.
Anything Woj says on Dame is fake.. Chris Haynes will tell you more
Durant request a trade
NBA: sleep
Kyrie request a trade
NBA: sleep
Harden request a trade
NBA: sleep
Ad request a trade
NBA: sleep
Dame request a trade to the heat
NBA: you cannot do that we hate the heat go to boston
So Anthony Davis threw a tantrum just to get to the Lakers but Dame Time is being portrayed as a BIA??? MISS ME WITH THAT BS!!! HE Deserves to be where he wants to end his career WITH THE MIAMI HEAT NO MATTER WHAT THE TRADE VALUE LOOKS LIKE FROM THE MIAMI HEAT!!! FACTS 💯🔥🔥🔥
Whats wrong with malika didnt lillards agent say pubicly and does the agent nor say what his client says
Lillard biggest phony in NBA
I had so much respect for Lillard until now. A multi-millionaire refusing to do their job and then saying that they'd be unhappy anywhere but Miami, is about the most entitled statement I've ever heard.
Woj a weasel
Anybody else wanna point out it was wodj and Shams that started this bs with their sources
Woj is a snake
Woj need to stop speaking on Damian lillard
50,000 aint nothing if you're a superstar if they want to get traded to a certain team they will make it happen
too late
Last summer he wants max and this summer he want to be trade
Woj is Portland’s media puppet. Portland has been stringing Dame along for years, wasting his prime for a decade giving them a chance to show that they care about winning. At this point, I question if the Trailblazers should even exist as a franchise.
🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
They never said they wouldn’t perform, they said he’d be unhappy. Harden wasn’t fined for his shenanigans nor a memo sent out. No memo for AD.
Perk sounds ridiculous
How did Kendrick Perkins not get fired, I fast forward whenever hes on, dude is horrible to listen to.
woj needs a replacement this guy sucks
Whatever. Dame already leaning towards 1 team only. The 28 teams for sure already noted his wish, they will not waste their time for this and Dame is not cheap in terms of contract. For me only Dames team wasted his time for more than a decade of loyalty and until the end still promising him for what?
He can say whatever he wants privately. That’s bs. Prove I said it. Morons
Nah they are feed up with players under contract doing and saying this stuff. You cant tell your boss what you will and wont do. Your getting millions. Generational wealth you have to perform regardless.
Malika is so repulsive 🤮
Woj sucks
Why is malika still on espn 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦🏼♂️
Woj is garbage and corrupt
ESPN is pitiful
8:52 🎯
Woj! Now I believe all that goes around that this guy is anti Dem. Like with all that is being said in videos about his evilness towards those that don't give juicy stories. Evil baldie.
Dame could very well just claim to have a "back injury" (aka the Ben Simmons effect) to sit out until he's traded… to the Miami Heat 😆
My whole thing was if MIA is his preferred team cool, but MIA or bust nah. If I was POR, Dame has FOUR YEARS on his deal, I'm calling his bluff. What you gonna do if we don't trade you?…I get wanting out but you gotta take into account your leverage. You lose a lot of leverage when you gobble up every extension & take up your player option 2yrs before you have to. He turns down that last extension he's probably in Miami a week after he makes that request bc he would've only had 1yr left on his deal & all the leverage to say "I will only resign w/ MIA"
Why are we listening to a Blazer employee explain this to us?
This is not good for the NBA period players especially ones with no rings have no right to dictate we're there going forcing trades
