Bucks and Celtics are good not great teams adding Dame to Raptors would make them in contention as the favourites in the East
In the last 5 years, 2 East teams won. That one team is Raptors. Raps will have complete 5 if they keep Gary, Scottie, Pascal, and Jacob with Dame. They automatically become top 5 team in the nba. And also stay off the weeeeeeeeeeed SAS 😂
I think dame will be a celtic
It ain’t up to Dame though it’s up to the Blazer’s front office 😂 they acting like Dame is choosing Toronto when its the front office who gets to decide lol
He should go to Philly
I thought that Dame would end up in Houston or Philadelphia 😮
The portland trailblazers will decide what is best for the organization moving forward, not dame or the ridiculous media.
I hope he goes to Toronto for the best deal, and I hope Toronto has success in the playoffs.. but to bend to the will of a player is wrong, that's what a no trade clause is for.
Comparing Toronto to Portland is pure arrogance. Toronto is one of the greatest cities in North America
🧭🧭🧭
When Lillard theoretically lands in the 6iX, you can bet that there is much more ahead trade wise especially with Masai in charge. The Raptors are a Championship Organization, they know what it takes to win. The media and the rest of you basketball fans out there should really stay tuned to see what else happens from when and or if he lands there. This should be very interesting to everyone…
SAS really doesn’t like Canada. Lol
Dame has five teams he can go to
1. Knicks
2. Bucks
3. Heat
4. 76ers
5. Lakers
Why would they have to give up siakam or Scottie but Boston can give them Pennies on the dollar
LEBRON IS NOT A CLOSER and SHannon agreed… so how the fck is he the goat…
Toronto with Dame, Siakam, OG, Poeltl is better than what Miami currently has.
This is why I respected LeBron, Chris and D-Wade getting together to plan a Super Team, because NBA governors are self-centered and greedy!
Damian Lillard has sacrificed years for a franchise that has refused to make themselves competitive. So, now he wants to leave and the front office is giving him the middle finger?
Don't they understand that no players worth their weight in gold would dare come there in free agency!
Portland's front office need to let him o wherever he wants, he has paid his dues, respected your organization, now it's time you all RESPECT him!
They cut milly out?
No mention of the team dame wants to play for 😂😭😭
Austin reaves for dame but not Herro what are y’all onnn
I love when they talk NBA lol
Lmao ESPN buying comments, all top comments are “ohhh the chemistry between these two” 😂😂😂😂 and mid-segment they change the question fml garbage
These guys are a bunch of clowns Lillard doesn't get to choose where he wants to play also u calculate the money to see if it works these guys are in fantasy world
The Toronto hate is real smh
Lakers six man is ESPN, alway recruiting players
Stephen A smith is crazy oh lord😢
Stephen knows as much basketball as the average fan lol
If you want to be misled, follow these two chumps… especially Steven A
What do these two clowns know about whats good for Dame
How old is he?
Leave him alone
He’s a big boy
Just play bball
Portland has scoot, Simmons and sharpe lol why would they want Maxey?
Why does SAS hate raptors so much 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dame on most teams would instantly make them a contender. The bias that SAS wants him on the knicks 💀
Yeah I agree going to Toronto wouldn’t be much different than staying in Portland . Yeah siakam is good but not as good as he was when kawhi was there .
The raptors have proven more of a winning history than the blazers over the past 10-12 years or so.. even got a chip
It’s just crazy how American media don’t want Dame in Toronto but they kno if they get him A lineup of Dame, GTJ,Scottie,Pascal & poetl is a good team in the east maybe not contenders but better than teams like Philly, cavs & most definitely better than the knicks 😂😂😂, I hope raptors get dame!
What about Golden State Warriors?
Just come on over to Boston Big dog. If KG could thrive out here, so could he
When Unc said “I’ll give D’Angelo Russell and throw in Carrie Russell for Dame” 😂😂😂😂
Ifbhe wants to win a chip just go to denver …. joker and dame would be such a retarded combo …
Lakers would have to gut the team they don't have a lot of draft picks
It would not make sense for Lillard to join Toronto. They are not close to title contention and Lillard is 33 yrs old
Steven A just doesn’t like crossing the border come playoff time. 😂
IF he was traded to the Raptors, can he ask to be traded again, and if so how long until he can do so?
Look how smooth it was until Molly interrupted at 5:28 smh he already mention Philly
I like him on kings with fox or thunder with SGA !
Media love running stars outta small markets. SMH
Portland is just being unreal.Anything from the heat is great!!!!South beach,tell them Steven,he doesn't want anyone but the heat,shame on you all,heat will still kick all the teams without dame .He said Miami or nothing.Stop talking!!!!!
These commentators are ridiculously silly… lack class
Portland aint shid and never deserve success which they'll never have, if they send him to Toronto
