Will Dame finally ask out? How much depends on the draft? And would the Heat have anything Portland wants?

forgive me if u have either discussed or been asked but what’s realistic package for dame to miami
Is it Dame Time 🔥
I think the heat needs a superstar jump shots to get back into the finals so i salute Pat Riley if he could land Damian Lilliard this off season! Lets go heat nation! 🔥🔥🔥
Been waiting for this pod!!
LFG DAME TIME BABY ⏰⏰⏰⏰
I hope that Beal deal is going to get done next week BEFORE the draft. I'm gonna hate it if Portland drafts Scoot and everyone is going to think that Lillard is going to get traded and the Heat do nothing all summer, miss out on Beal and run it back.
I think they’ll get Beal .. Beal and bam are cool as well and Beal controls who they trade for him.. i think they should just keep Gabe and continue to develop him., Gabe has potential to become a poor man’s dame
Beal to me is too injury prone, over the last 4 years he hasn't played much. He has a terrible costly contract and personally I don't think his game tips the favor for Miami, especially if he can't make it through the regular season much less the playoffs. Get Dame, pay the cost to get a boss, short term loss for long term success.
I though Tyler was this great player that everyone blasted me for wanting to trade after the bubble guess I was right huh? 😐
Anyways, do whatever you can to get that A+ player (Dame,Beal,Siakam,Kyrie,Zion,Ja,Lavine) .
Doing this will likely restrict us from going after a mid tier player to fill out the bench and rotation. IF we do strike out I’d love the idea of trading/signing any of the aforementioned for a (OG,Doug McDermott,Bol Bol,B.I.,Biyombo,Naz Reid,Rui,Kyle Anderson,Yuta ,KP,Kuzma,Jerami,Harrison Barnes,Larry Nance) etc.
All hope is not lost if we don’t get that A+ guy proper strategic middling signings/trades can be just as impactful. The reason we relied so heavily on G league level talent is because of the bad contracts that put the franchise in position to suck beforehand can’t repeat the same mistakes this time around .
This dude don’t want Portland to do nothing. Dame is on the way. Dame has to leave or go out sad. At 33 & he’s hurt every year. He’s needs a change & Miami would be perfect. Pat can get it done. One of these has to fall our way.
Heat need scoring or size to make up for the points or both. They can get size and scoring from James Nnaji a big can rebound and bring size, GG Jackson or Jordan Hawkins and playing them Nikola Jovic off the bench. regular season is about developing and letting them get practice. They can solve both with Dame and Brook Lopez. Dame provided scoring and Lopez can provided size and scoring.
So let me get this right everybody wants to get rid of all these young guys we have four guys who have injury history and have barely besides name proven in the playoffs now bring everybody back except for Cody love and Kyle go out inside Chris Paul😊 at and just run with the squad we have two championships and appearances and four years
Dame and Naz Reed should be our pickups
Kyrie for plan B if Dame doesn't happen 💯🤝
pretty simple: Dame wants to TRADE #3 pick for "help". Blazers are not stupid: they'll get either Scoot or Miller. Dame is making them fall for his trap. Dame stated MANY times he doesn;t want to "train' a replacement.
Every indication is that blazers are swinging to trade pick 3 and dame will be in Portland next year.
Was just educated that if the Heat get Beal, they also inherit his “no trade clause”… so Jimmy & Beal over 30 years old and each making 50+ million in 2 years… 🤢…. Do the Heat want to pay two guys crazy $ to get old with injuries and retire as Heat players and have ZERO FUTURE???
Imma pass… give my Jimmy and the possibility of a future rather then watching a retirement home on the basketball court for years to come….Dame also fits that storyline
This might be the KD-Irving situation last year. You held off on Kyrie because you were waiting for KD but then neither got traded during the summer. Then both got traded during the season and you were too late to get KD.
If the Heat are holding off on Beal waiting for Dame, and then Beal gets traded elsewhere and then Dame stays with POR then you are screwed again.
This guy just seems like a Portland fan that doesn’t want to believe Dame could ever leave.
Perfect fit
Zion & Dame to heat. Agree?
The fact that blazers are considering trading for Zion just shows how dysfunctional that organization is. Dame needs to run, even if it’s not to Miami.
Herro, martin +picks for dame if portland is looking to rebuild. Sell martin while his stock is high. I think dame would be great for heat culture
You guys said a center doesn’t deserve that much money besides Bam?… now I know why I stop watching and listening to you guys
Dame TECHNICALLY still hasnt asked out
