  2. That dark horse team name is none other than bullshit and the reporters name is out of me arse

  4. Blazer fans getting their dick hard over a tweet by ‘NBATradeReport’ lmfao

  7. I remember when a bunch of similar twitter profiles posted that the Dame to Miami deal was done and it would be announced in the “Coming days” in the early stages of this whole thing. If it doesn’t come from reputable sources, why even give it the time of day?

  9. Not sure if true but I wouldn’t be surprised at this point. If it happens it happens.

  10. Just looking at the teams in the east in my opinion it’s Knicks, Nets, and 6ers with the outside hope. Knicks and nets have the picks and 6ers may be able to use some pieces to make it work.

    This is without looking at cap and doing a deep dive. If the nets or Knicks want to give up 5 picks or beat the offer then good on them I guess.

    They don’t have the same window Dame does though so they don’t really make sense to me.

  11. Saw a post from their sub saying it’s Toronto.

    Think it’s dumb how I get Blazer sub post suggestions when I had never even been to their sub, but that’s a different topic all together.

  12. Its probably the Raptors – which… if that happens, the Raptors def have the assets to trade for him, but they’d also still be a mediocre team with him at the cost of their future. If i’m the Raptors i’d rather develop my young guys in a few low years than consistently win 40-45 games and be a play-in team for 2-3 years then start from scratch again after.

  13. That wouldn’t make any sense. If I was an opposing Eastern Conference FO Executive, I wouldn’t touch Dame because it’s been clear he wants Miami and only Miami.

    If anything, Donovan Mitchell could be back on the market because he doesn’t have interest in re-signing with Cleveland.

  14. If they’re going to make stuff up to pressure the heat, they might as well say a hated rival team in the Miami Heat’s conference lol.

    I think most Portland fans would actually want Dame to go where he wants to go for a good return. Ignore the internet fans.

  17. Of course, trustworthy source NBATradeReport, pack it up Pat he’s basically gone now.

    Some people getting worked up about a “report” anyone can make, I’m sure a lot of teams had “internal discussions” about it before coming to the conclusion that bringing someone to their franchise who doesn’t want to be there at age 33 on a big deal for real assets won’t work out.

  20. After seeing the last package we sent them, which they refused, I’m ready to move on and run it with Tyler and whoever else pat can bring in.

  21. The one concern I have is Portland seems adamant about not trading dame to Miami, won’t even have a conversation. They might trade him somewhere for we would consider less of a package. But If Portland gives them og and 4 picks that’s a better an offer than we are giving and Portland should trade him to Toronto. This was the risk in low balling Portland. Still not sure toronto will trade their future for 2 years of prime dame

  22. I think Dame’s mistake was his attempt to present Portland with a *fait accompli*. Such a stance might have worked in the past with other teams and other players, but in the end it requires the person/organization subject to the *fait accompli* to actually acknowledge the demand. If they refuse, then what’s the actual leverage?

  28. OKC will get Dame then send back out to the Heat for draft picks and everyone is happy cause that’s OKC’s thing with collecting picks
