Dame really said if you won’t send me to Miami I’d prefer to not be traded at all man none of ya can be mad at the dude he did everything
Cronin was avoiding Dame in the facility, god he’s such a pussy. Can’t wait for the organization to can his dumb ass when they waste away their young talent again
Props to Lillard on burning whatever credibility that rat Cronin had with any agent/player on his way out, respect
Lillard was willing to continue playing for the Blazers if he wasn’t traded to the Heat and Cronin told him no….this is who Blazers fans praise? LMAOOO
Yea go blame pat now smh
B-but PAt rILEy is wAShEd!! WaaaH Waaah!
Cronin is an enormous piece of shit. What a horrible guy. Remove basketball and trade talk from the equation and he’s just a shitty human being. Fuck that guy. If I’m Scoot, I’m looking for the first exit out of Portland as soon as I can. Cannot trust that front office if that’s how they treat their biggest star.
I am sorry Pat
If anyone bought a custom jersey for Dame as a Heat. Wear it for the Bucks game cause that man deserves an applause for actually TRYING to be in Miami
This one ain’t on Pat and I’ve been critical of him.
Very interesting to see Cronin/Blazers absolutely ruined their entire reputation for any future franchise players or free agents for a measly return of Jrue Holiday and FRP and 2 swaps 😂👏
Blazer fans meat riding the dude who kicked their arguable franchise GOAT to the curb is hilarious 😭
We were ready to storm Riley’s office when Wade went to Chicago
I was in my feelings. The Heat tried to get him and Portland just said no.
The Cronin dick sucking in /r/nba is insane. Still call dame a little bitch and saying he caused what happened to him. What was he supposed to do? He signed an extension thinking they were going to get him help, and yet again showing his loyalty to the franchise, they don’t do that, essentially draft his replacement instead of trading the pick for someone, resign grant on a horrible contract, dame asks out because he’s getting old and has a few years of good basketball in him, the one thing he asks for is his preferred destination, Cronin gets pissy and refuses to do that and dame is the bad guy in all this?
Even dame is reasonable enough to say if you can’t do it, ill come back, and Cronin still says no. I really don’t see how dame is at fault here at all.
People like Cronin right now because he dealt with this emotionally and everyone got to put up their middle fingers at Dame and the Heat. Very satisfying.
But I’m pretty confident this means Cronin is not good at his job. Making emotional decisions is not the mark of a top executive. And I don’t think this will go over well with players in general.
Cronin is a bitch.
it said dame would rather come back then go anywhere but the heat so I can’t blame him, cronin said no to both for him and tried to make an example.
hope no one goes to portland in FA ever again
Cronin telling Dame he’s not welcome back with the blazers is WILDDDD
Read the whole article. I’ve never hated anyone in my life but I seriously wish nothing but the absolute worst for the rest of cronins career. Dude is a piece of shit
To be fair, what negotiating was going to happen when? Dame said he or nowhere? That is not negotiation. I think we are finding the blazers did not take to kindly to that and simply refused to take their offer if it wasn’t going to be their best one. I also think the heat low balled as part of some strange negotiation tactic and it completely backfired. I’m not sure why complaining that Portland didn’t let them raise their offer even make sense. If I get low bald I walk away too. There were just a lot of factors in this and they they all sort of poisoned the well
Fuck Cronin to hell. Petty asshole. This trade needs a netflix special a la the last dance
Fucking b*tch. Can’t wait to see Portland fans faces when Scoot gets a season ending injury and never plays the same again or better yet, pulls a Len Bias. #HeatOn
This is from the dude who works for Dame right?
