    If this is true and the Heat were ready to offer Herro+three FRPs+Jovic, I don’t even blame Riley. This is purely Blazers FO being petty as hell and not granting Dame’s wish.

    Just wow.

    Unserious, tho if this was the case the Heat shouldn’t have held out hope that the irrational folks would suddenly become rational. I wish they had a plan B instead of the usual run it back strategy, doubt anything else materializes days before camp.

    Some people turned on Dame and yeah it stinks he opened his list to a rival but he prioritized wanting out of that shitshow and got into a contending situation even if it’s not his preferred destination. This just shows that they really acted out of spite. The man held his stance for 3 months, I’ll always respect that but it’s always Heat in 5 even if it’s a favorite opposing player.

    You know Blazers fans are creaming themselves to this article lmao

    Yeah fuck Portland. This is another Donovan story. Salty franchises that’ll trade with anyone but Pat and Miami. Doesn’t matter if they screw themselves with a lesser deal in the process.

    I don’t think Miami had any real chance to get this done. This could all be spin, but I find it hard to blame the miami FO at this point.

    If Portland was asking for Jimmy back, it’s clear they were just fucking with us and never had any plan to try to respect Dame’s wishes, even to their own detriment. More picks and Jovic easily beats out whatever return they have in mind for Jrue.

    All the morons blaming Riley for Reddit karma yesterday are going to mysteriously be super busy today and not read this

    Can’t wait for people on r/nba to suck off Cornin and call him a genius for just being spiteful against the Heat.

    Negotiating with poverty franchises is so yucky.

  9. iCOULDbewr0ng

    It’s crazy how anti-Heat r/NBA is, they have a full on hate boner for Miami, they are currently blinded by their hate

    They genuinely think Jrue+1FRP+2 Swaps BLOWS Miami’s offer away, they act like Miami’s offer is complete shit and what Blazers got was so much better 😂

  10. goatslacker

    3 FRP on the table and they end up settling for one. 🤦🏻‍♂️

  11. SpotLightGuy

    Every single casual that believed the front office didn’t do everything they could like Dame’s agent said they did owes them an apology. Y’all really fell for those bs leaks smh

    Where are all the people shitting on the FO? Some of the younger fans here haven’t been through enough ups and downs of the franchise. FO has and will always do whatever it takes to win. Yeah, some questionable ass contracts in the late 2010’s but we are always contenders.

    Portland was never serious negotiating in good faith.

    Cronin really went to Twitter and took his fanbase’s advice to the negotiations then flipped Dame for pennies 💀

    This is so comical. So glad they got absolute garbage in return.

  14. HyBeHoYaiba

    You guys think Cronin will be the kind of Subway employee to fall asleep on the line or hook you up with a lil extra cheese. Either way, he’ll definitely be a better sandwich artist than General Manager

  15. MiamiSportsGuru

    Yeah, look at that, it’s almost like our FO knows what’s it’s doing? Bunch of nephews in this sub blaming pat have zero basketball IQ

  16. Whitemike_23

    The fact that they started negotiations with asking for Jimmy or Bam shows how unserious Cronin and their FO was.

  17. RockNJocks

    The Heat and Dame should have never gone public with the one team demand. That doesn’t happen there is a chance this deal could have gotten done.

    There’s a few of Trillie’s minions who are awfully quiet about this article lol
