Smh Dame really gonna retire with 0 rings,0 Final appearance and only 1 WCF participation
There's no loyalty in this Dame it's a business. Don't ruin your legacy you've done enough
Dame to the spurs lol
Portland is one of the dumbest franchises ever
Portland news flash for you : you are not wining the championship with dame
Heard they shutting down yall show 😂
Horrible idea! Time to blow it up!
Being on the outside looking in you always think I’m hindsight. Blazers could have acquired Beal for the 3rd pick, they could have acquired both Porzingis & Beal for the 3rd pick and Simons🤷🏿♂️. Dame, Beal, Kristaps, Grant is a nice unit. That’s enough offence and they’ll fill the rest with solid defensive role players
Dame loyalty rating is over 99. Such a shame
I’m wondering if there’s an element of Dame staying put to save his legacy in a round about way. Protecting himself from having to join a blue chip franchise with genuine aspirations, with those type of pressures and expectations.
As long as he’s in Portland, he has a built in excuse for never winning which almost paints him in this light as a bastion of hope and loyalty to the league. Stephen A’s of the world saying they need to free him etc. I’ve heard innumerable pundits and talking heads say words to the effect of, if only he had help then he’d win x amount of rings. What if he’s staying out so he never has to try.
There’s literally no pressure on him to win. He’s in a position where he’s one of the highest paid players, everybody raves about his ability, and there is no one demanding he wins a ring to validate his legacy. In fact if things continue as they are, people are likely in the future to say wow, is he the best player to never win, and more likely to project him for greatness. “God, imagine if Dame had help, he’d have 2 at least”.
J Will not hearing Max lol
Zion will never live up to the hype. You can tell he never got any coochie until he got drafted to the NBA 😂 😂💯💯
I think Portland is putting Dame in a position where they're forcing his hand to ask for a trade because they know they can't build a championship team around him overnight with or without using the 3rd pick.
how im not surprised 😂
JWILL analysis of Matt Ryan? LMFAO he wasn’t going to win a ring in Indy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
There's no answer on who Portland can bring to win. Thet're better off using the pick and rebuilding, regardless of what Dame wants
J Will, they're not winning regardless of if they draft or trade
Dame gonna look back at his career and be like what in the world was I thinking. Smh
Dame has tried to win with the Blazers for 11 years, that's loyal enough. Just request a trade bro, you're not winning with the Blazers.
Trail blazers gonna have a fun time playing for a lottery spot again xd
Let him stay put he will never win a ring
They need to make that Miami trade happen
Look at Portland's roster it is complete garbage. So they hold him hostage because they want a rebuild?!
So whack
Dame to dallas for kyrie and some role players. Lol.
-Abby Martin (1984-)
“during the COVID pandemic, the oligarchs siphoned two trillion dollars from the working class, while one third of small businesses shut down and the poor suffered through mass evictions and joblessness.”
You all need to stop the disrespect on sharpe. I hear Scoot and anfernee, but always forget sharpe. I guarantee next year he's the man
Now i know why this show is canceled. Jwill seems to hate max
🤔He’s valuable
Clyde the Glide had to leave Portland to get a ring. History is repeating itself
Instead of trading the 3rd pick for zion if portland wants zion then trade dame to the pelicans for zion then rebuild portland with scoot hoping zion can be a healthier soon that can be paired with scoot in the future
Blazers are forcing him to request a trade. They rather Dame force a trade. It’s what they are doing. Dame is in a lose lose situation. They are playing Dame
Lol if they shut down talks for dame and only looking to move a number 3 pick and Simmons and nobody is biting what are you really getting to compete with Siakam? 😂
No C's fan but dame to the Celtics for Brown and whatever else to make it work would be great for Dame & the Blazers
What J Will talking about Portland has been on rebuild since they traded CJ
L for Miami, we should have go for Beal
Surely this will finally make the media from coming up with Lillard topics, right? Right?
Oh on the contrary, I believe they should be held hostage by Dame. He's given them everything.
You gotta get someone to replace MAX it's like his scientific brain doesn’t compute.
is this the end ? 🙁
Show is better without Key,
Why should portland send dame to the nets, portland could make a better offer for bridges than the nets could do for dame
I'm undercover lol!!!
Lillard for the millionth time – "I don't want to be traded, I want to stay in Portland"
Media – "We don't believe and we don't care, we're going to keep talking about hypothetical trade scenarios involving you even though you've said multiple times you don't want to be traded"
Sigh
