  1. I don't think him going to Toronto is out of the question, with the rumors around Siakam and the cap space freed up by FVV leaving… wouldn't be surprised

  2. HEAT OR BUST. Hopefully Dame pulls the Ben Wallace card and sits out if he gets traded to any other team.

  3. This man is owed 63 million in a few years…let’s be real not everyone wanna take that on. Just send him to Miami bro it ain’t that big of a deal. Tyler herro is a young player with that dog in him

  4. Edwards or Ja? At this point, you gotta say Edwards, he hasn't wave anything to get himself excused from 25 games yet 😂

  5. I don't understand how these players don't have no trade clause, you are going to trust an organization that its primary objective is make money? Once you sign that contract you are cattle to be traded at will.

  6. Dame got paid $$$$
    Miami has nothing Portland needs or wants to equal Dame.

    A. Edwards in Minnesota signed a great deal. Minnesota is still going to suck. Trade K.A.T

  7. Every former player says that this decision will affect current players opinion on Portland. Don’t listen to the media people and people online who says it has no impact. They’re all watching to see how they handle this situation with a player who’s already given them more than they deserve.

  8. Anthony Edwards is my favorite player in the NBA, kid is a box office talent, i love to watch him play 🔥

  9. If there was a MUCH better trade than the heat, it would have happened already😏

  10. Blazers don’t give a f*ck, they’ll trade him for the best offer, business as usual, Dame is a straight bozo but he got paid so he shouldn’t b*tch

  11. Is there somewhere I can bet where he's gonna go? I didn't see it in Caesars app

  12. I honestly believe if the Blazers can't figure out a way to accommodate Dame's request, and help to orchestrate a move to the Heat, this will have a long lasting ripple effect on players not wanting to go there in future (for those that have that choice, e.g. free agents, not via trades and drafts etc); as if it isn't like that already too…

  13. Its crazy how the mainstream media never has backlash for organizations/front office when they disrespect Loyal fan favorite players. Weather it be Boston trading IT, Wizards trading John Wall, or Boston trading Marcus Smart. But the mainstream media will always disrespect The Black players. 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

    They only disrespect Black Men. They only (try to) cancel Black Men.’ 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

  14. Its so weird buisness. ESPN often dont know what customer wants. Malika is an annoying entitled woman and they keep her, but fired Jalen and some other people that are friendly and fun to listen to. I just dont get it. Isn't supposed to be entertainment?

  15. It amazes me how much a player will changing his tune like Damian Lillard has when it comes to leaving a team that drafted him and has shown the absolute most loyalty to him when the media pushes that narrative that he needs to go somewhere in order to validate his career

  16. hate the stupid narrative of "losing in the first round in 5 games", so they won 1 game against the Nuggets, that's 1 more than the Lakers, and just as much as the Heat.

  17. Ever since Dame asked for a trade I've been looking at Portland depth chart like crazy just like ever fan there no good trade out there that would give the Blazers a good return…. Portland normal wait to fine best trade available think they should still stick that rule… If that's so then it's best player available can anyone say C/PF C Woods anyone it's put SF/PF J Grant back at the 3 more and more flexible in there lineups…. To me it's a no brainer… If you don't trade him keep getting better…. No days off in the league…

  18. Would hope Dame goes to New Orleans in a trade for Zion..so Lillard can play with McCollum again..and Zion can …..just sit on Portland bench lol 😆
