No way they get another free agent with Cronin at the helm
Makes me sick.
Hindsight is 20/20 but man I wish Dame didn’t go so hard with the Miami ONLY stance
It was exciting to hear as a Heat fan but ironically that “Miami Only” turned into “anyone BUT Miami”
Should’ve given them a list of potential teams, downplay his interest of Miami and have his agent communicate how bad he wants to be in Miami privately so Pat can do his work.
Would’ve avoided petty Cronin being so butthurt, but oh well
It is what it is
Source? B/R?
Damn. No chance we get Jrue then. Cronin hates Miami
Sick feeling in the gut knowing this megastar was so hopeful in coming to the Heat. Cronin really went against Dame’s wishes and to save his ass, went on to trade him to Milwaukee for the optics. Karma is real and what that bastard did, the basketball gods will look for retribution. Well, like Theo von says “onwards”
Cronin just screwed over player relations with not just him but possibly every other star in the nba. Every star now will see the way dame was treated and say Fuck loyalty and just look out for their best interest. Kd and harden are probably telling every player “see i told you”
Scoot gonna bounce as soon as he reaches free agency lol
I wonder if the actual Blazers fans, not the bozos on r/ripcity , understand how badly Cronin mistreated Dame. Dame was willing to recind the trade request and Cronin told him to fuck off. And instead of trading him to Miami he traded him to the Bucks for a worse offer. That’s the definition of spite. Dame can’t even complain cause the Bucks are a contender but he wanted to be in Miami, probably for reasons outside basketball. And he has to eat the shit sandwich Cronin gave him and live in cold ass Milwaukee
Portland will never get a free agent. This is how they treated their main guy. Relationships matter in the NBA. Meanwhile every off season players always show interest in coming here.
Turns out all of us shitting on Joe Cronin were right this whole time
Edit: and no. It’s not because we weren’t getting what we wished. It’s the way that petty ass motherfucker went about it the entire saga. Hiding behind Woj instead of being upfront and honest communication with the Miami Heat, no integrity whatsoever. I wanna know all the names Pat called this guy lol
Lillard sounds like a good dude. I think Cronin wanted to rape the Heat for Bam, and when Riley said it ain’t happening, here’s what we’re offering. Cronin went sour on us because we had the leverage.
Why would Riley give up Bam for Lillard when we’re already in championship mode and so close. He’s the one on the rebuild! And his player wants to come here!!!
This dude is an abomination! And I believe the league colluded to stop us from getting Dame. But whatever at this point. Because we’ll be ready to be right back in the playoff mix next season! Peace
Jesus Christ that’s disgusting to do to a 10 year veteran
