“Dame’s agent, Aaron Goodwin, has been calling prospective trade partners & warning against trading for him, team executives told ESPN. Goodwin is telling organizations outside of Miami that trading for Lillard is trading for an unhappy player.”

If Dame really about this, he needs to go to Boston and win the easiest chip ever
Dame going from cool guy to villain right before our eyes!
The “Don’t run from the grind” saga has certainly took a turn with this one.
Thats weak as fuck from Dame to be honest, I hate how he is handling everything around his trade request, he is fucking over the Blazers.
Dame is really determined to as much damage to his reputation as he can
Imagine staking your whole reputation around not running from the grind and then deciding “I refuse to play for any team except the one that just made the finals”
Portland now needs to make Dame prove his “loyalty” by force
If that is what Dame wants him to do
he’s already so loyal to miami. dude’s loyalty knows no bounds.
I just want this shit to be done already
Something something Batman hero villian
Death, taxes, droppingdimes20
That’s crazy lol, mans went from calling guys chumps for “running” to now a story like this comes up
What a fraud
Aaaand here is why so many Blazers fans don’t have the same good will for Dame anymore.
Fuck me NBA players are children sometimes.
If you are that desperate to get to Miami, it is pretty fucking simple. Take a buyout of your contract and rescind the 200M/5yrs that you signed on for. Then you can walk wherever the fuck you like and sign for the vet minimum that is probably still more money than any of us here will ever see.
Or, put pressure on Miami to actually come up with the best trade package so this doesn’t have to be an issue.
Don’t try manipulative shit like this.
that should warrant some kind of fine, shouldnt it?
… dem boy is chump?
Lame time.
Who cares honestly? Dame is the one getting old every year, and he’s not a free agent. What’s he gonna do, get signed and then pout for multiple seasons? I don’t buy that shit.
Ship him to the worst team. Fuck his agent
But Mr. Agent I thought you said “Damian’s not disrespectful. He’s not an instigator. …The music was just a coincidence.” Just a couple of weeks ago lmao
“WHAT TEAM WILL DAME GO TO????” is losing engagement so “DAME IS A SNAKE NOW??” should boost those metrics
Where did this narrative that Lillard is the greatest Blazer ever start?
It’s pretty funny how fast he went from “fuck yeah loyalty” to “fuck everybody, scorched earth”
Player empowerment reaches its final form lol
The league should be able to consider this some form of tampering on the player’s behalf and dish out either a fine, suspension, or some other punishment. Dame is being a fucking pussy ass bitch right now and I’ve already lost every ounce of respect I had for him.
Loyal my fucking ass, he was only in Portland cause they could give him the most money.
Isn’t this really a type of tampering?
Even other stars who asked out in controversial moves at least gave a shortlist of multiple teams, Dame is going around telling every other team but one he’s going to be a malcontent lmao.
Make him sit out the remainder of his contract or agree to be dealt elsewhere.
All that loyalty talk and turns out he’s just a whiney millionaire stomping his feet if he doesn’t get his way.
Dude is becoming a bitch real fast
Lmao Dame is really trying to fuck the Blazers, I thought I’d never see the day.
That’s a bad shot.
I honestly hate how much power NBA players have in terms of directing the teams they go to and demanding trades anymore it is getting ridiculous.
Let him be unhappy in Portland and waste his time being fined or suspended.
Unhappy or not he’s still going to play, just tanking his draft stock but he’s still going to get traded
Oh for fuck’s sake. What the actual fuck? Goddamn it, I hope the Blazers win the lottery next year.
Does it really matter? He is never gonna win a chip.
I am usually pretty “pro player” but this seems really unfair to the league. I think players have the right to request a trade, but it’s unfair to try and dictate what the teams do in that situation. If you want to pick your team, then wait until you are a free agent. Even K. Leonard made the best of his situation.
Can we go back to talking about how Dame should ask out? That was more fun than this
This is way worse than anything Paul George did
If he’s going to kill every deal other than Miami I simply wouldn’t trade him. You either play or get fined for every game you miss. If you want to be traded fine but you can’t force the team to sell your for pennies.
Nah that’s not on. Love dame, he could have asked for a trade years ago and I respect the fact he waited so long. But you signed a contact extension. It’s ok to have “preferred “ destinations but you can’t take away your team’s ability to find the right deal. Legacy points deducted.
Ya okay. Whats he gonna do, sit out during the prime of his career? Play half-assed? He cares about his legacy too much. He’ll play wherever he goes. Dame PR is just trying to scare other teams.
I’m fine with it. Trailblazers never tried to put a serious team around him
Portland: trade away your future to us for a great player owed a quarter of a billion dollars. He only wants to play for Miami but we think he will change his mind after about 11 years
