MIAMI 🔥
he will help the BUCKS tremendously.
They dont have a ball handler that could score down the stretch since Middleton regresed with his injury.
Lakers. Needs to head back home to CA. 🙌🏼
Steven a smith face at 4:40 killed me
Cody Zeller hairline caught a stray 😂
Nope…. leave him right there…. loyalty matters.😂😂
That shot at Cody zeller was completely unnecessary lmao even Molly was disgusted 😂
He was the one that choose to stay in Portland for this long, he only has himself to blame.
3 team trade i see happening if miami want to trade for dame.
If Dame wants to win he needs to leave. If he wants to make money he can stay. Done. it’s his life. if he wants to be mediocre he can but don’t complain about never winning
Kyrie is a better fit than Dame
No team right now has the assets to accommodate a trade for Lillard.
A prison that pays you 450 million to shoot an orange ball into a net? Sign me up
Steven A used to have Max to debate with.
Now he has a some gen z lesbian. The show sucks
Dame chose to be there you GOOFYS.
Dame likes the attention he has now. He wants to be a martyr that stayed in ths same team. Charles Buckley has no ring but he never ran from competition like Dame is doing sitting in Portland with his little rap career.
He should go to New Orleans
This is becoming an obsession at this moment. SAS should leave Lillard alone
He should come to the raptors
It is sad unless you’re a big nba fan you probably don’t know much about how clutch dame has been his whole career
The first minute in and SAS is already delusional..If Dame was here if this there if they there. If you put any superstar or even a star in Miami Heat the outcome would probably be different now.
Y’all really gotta stop this the Blazers and Dame have made it clear they are staying together this is getting very old
Bro just wants to solidify his jersey retirement 0
MSM is garbage and he’s the head of it with this garbage he’s saying. We understand Lillard needs to win. But to call Portland a prison just flagrantly shows the ignorance of you paying attention to all nba teams. Your an analyst to certain teams you like that’s it. If it’s a prison he would have asked out years ago. They treated him with respect and fairness and paid him handsomely so I don’t need to hear this flagrant idiocy from a guy that watches a couple teams in the league for views and numbers.
people like Stephen A only say come to places like miami or new york so he can watch him like a hawk. Dame dont need that scrutiny he good as he is.
Who should they go after in FA? Then names a star player who’s not even a FA thats laziness maybe actually think about it next time
I try to let SAS shade and insults slide but that shot at Zeller was completley uncalled for and unnecessary. When we are going to talk about SAS just being a bully. This stems back to him literally bullying and degrading max kellerman live on first take. It's just not right.
Dame needs to go somewhere where the stage is bigger, like LA or NYC.
tyler herro has no problem going to be his own man in portland. Get ya money and buckets in peace. After today anyone outside denver nuggets is a loser, whether you made it to the finals or in the draft lottery,
Just like Clyde Drexler. Once he left portland and went to houston. Won a chip. So, Dame needs to leave…..
Damian is Tha true definition of a BEAST
monica and molly 3 fine
Can we get less of Mc Nutt?
Thank you Stephen A! 100 % Truth. Dame is a killer with a great heart and ice in his venes. I hope he is not loyal to the death(even i admire it). My favorite player in the NBA
Dame time ⏰ yes! It’s time TO GO DAME! 🤷🏾♂️😭⏰⏰✌🏾😊
To new york. Im tired of knicks missing the prize. Get dame because him alongside brunson barrett and randle will be special. Trust me…….JUST DO IT
Portland doesn't want Miami Heat's trash for Dame.
PLAYOFF JIMMY
So tired of Dame talking about the same thing over and over again
It’s like he wants out, without saying he wants out. So called Loyalty in sports will have him ringless.
The Heat need SIZE they way too small. That small ball style kinda fading away.
tf she talking about russ?
Nah That Zeller Comment Was Foul💀😭😭😂
Best opportunity to move dame you have the 3rd pick you can get a package of players and pick scoot and rebuild with sharpe and scoot
Media members alwys try to destroy player because ¨they are not loyals¨ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Miami it is I guess. Could care less what he does now
"Zeller…I Got More Hair Than Him this brother look like he walking on 60 years old"💀😭😭
NBA needs to make a new rule if u draft a player and he becomes a superstar if u haven't backed him up in year 10 of his career u gonna trade him. Nobody wants to see a superstar waste his time with a team that had 10 years to get a him the finals at least once.
From 8:17 forth, I was Crying💀😭😭
Here is the real question all of these stars end up leaving there home team. Bill Russell, Duncan,kobe,dirk all stuck it out with there teams. Now giannas and jokic have a opportunity to do so. How are we defining greatness? Also i thought about moving the all-star game to summer time. This allows you to flex the nba schedule, and gives players more time to recooperate and get ready for games. Prevents congestion, build up. Who doesn't want to go see there stars when the sun is out shinning on a beautiful day.
