    Babe wake up Dame still bitchin’ about not being served on a silver platter to the heat

    Dame’s my favorite player ever and I’m still rooting for him to win, but he should know we weren’t gonna just ship him to Miami for a bag of chips just because he wanted to go there

    Hey Dame, fire your moron of an agent instead of crying about how Cronin wanted to do right by the team that employs him.

    Dame… take some responsibility. And if you can’t, have your agent take it for you. You’re about to play with the best. It’s not like the organization sent you to Detroit.

    I guess mil-waw-kee wasn’t the “grind” he wanted

  6. GaviFromThePod

    I Don’t fault him for feeling this way, but its a business.

    This is a lot of damage control, and very little truth- I don’t believe Dame ever contacted MIL during the summer, and I don’t believe that the animus was mutual between Dame and the front office. If Cronin wanted so screw Dame, the Twolves, the Jazz or the Thunder would have all given good packages. Cronin tried to do the best he could for Dame and for the team, and did a fantastic job. This is all sour grapes on Dame’s part.

    I really enjoyed watching him play here these past 11 years, probably got to see him play in person 20 times in that span, and each game had several “how does he do that?” moments. And, it feels like he learned that he could just demand something and the team would cater to his every whim and desire, ahem cough cough Blevins on the roster for 5 years. Naturally, he just thought he could state his desire and have his wish fulfilled. Instead of negotiating, he was dictating. And thankfully, Cronin did not just give in to Dame’s diva mindset.

    Those poor fools in Miami were counting the days until they got Dame, while still threatening to lower the offer if we waited too long. Their ‘Entitlement Culture’ bit them in the ass.

    Jeebus dude, shouldnt you be focused on the season ahead and winning a chip? Stop living in the past bro.

    I’m not gonna click but my guess is this is not original reporting.

    You know what else was irritating? Having your weasel agent sabotaging any attempt to negotiate in good faith or probe the market for leverage in a hypothetical trade. But maybe I’m just being dramatic.

  13. ponder_grace

    I wonder which was more “irritating”- the talks with the blazers, or the rest of us still having to listen to dame talk about it

    ‘Blazer Report: Blazer fans Say Damian Lillard Trade Demands were “Irritating,” Knew He Wouldn’t Get Heat Trade’

    But seriously, Bucks fans gotta love Dame still crying about not going to Miami.
