Lol I understand why you would feel this way!
Here’s what I was actually communicating:
— People in Portland and Philly both agree on the fact that they’ve discussed Dame at multiple points this summer
— In Portland, as of this week, they are leaking that the Sixers are more involved than the team is letting on.
— The Sixers continue to forcefully deny they’ve had serious discussions. This part is subtext I am inferring and not reporting: any “real” offer for Dame likely requires Maxey, so they have all the incentive to downplay their involvement and keep him/Rich Paul happy after telling him they’re not extending him this summer
— As others have said (including Woj in the middle of us recording the pod yesterday), the Blazers have basically been telling Miami to eat shit
If you’re asking me what / believe, I think the Sixers would rather simply keep Harden/Maxey than trade both in a Dame deal, so I find it pretty unlikely they’re going to trade for him. But this stuff out of Portland has been floating around this week, so just sharing that with you all!

Pretty sure Moriah tells Zion the exact same thing
“…and tell Barry Jackson if he ever steps foot inside Oregon we’re giving him a wedgie!”
Is this a East coast vs West coast thing?
Just send him to charlotte and end this discussion please
We finally found 1 thing the Blazer front office and fanbase have in common.
Been too long since we’ve been told Maxey is the absolutely untouchable
I think Dame and Aaron Goodwin made a massive misstep going so aggressively public with the Miami or bust thing. Not only am I’m sure it upset our FO it also got the attention of FO’s all over the league that this is something they do NOT want happening with their under contract players and setting a precedent.
This is getting to peak chaos. I love this game.
Is anyone else tired of the Dame trade saga
I just want to watch Scoot play man
I just want something to happen and for the Bulls to be involved somehow so we don’t *actually* run it back with this shitty ass boring 10th seed roster.
Literally all we did was replace Pat Bev with Jevon Carter, DJJ with Torrey Craig and called it a day.
Please nba gods I beg of you, dont do this to me
Well that’s not nice
Nice. Fuck the Heat
Maxey vs Herro gives me flirting vs harassment vibes lmaoo
So does Miami have the best offer still out there? I’m not saying it should be enough for Dame, but it seems like all these teams better offers all end with them not even offering that.
so then trade him somewhere else lmfao.
We keep hearing about all these better offers, why haven’t they just accepted one?
Like of course I’d hope Miami offers more, but if it’s that personal for Cronin then send him somewhere else, let’s see what happens from there.
At this point, I hope they trade Dame somewhere that immediately trades him to the Heat.
LETS FUCKIN GO!!! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING NEW 🔥🔥🔥
That’s a bit dramatic
This saga has been the wildest. I can’t remember a trade saga that dragged and had so many different reports.
Imagine calling yourself a journalist then spending time on tweets like this.
“Get rekt nerds”
Portland gm’s about the average reddit maturity level
Y’all keep sayin you’re tired of the drama but every dame thread does numbers
Let’s just get this shit over with bruh 😭. Like I’d love to see him in Miami, but at this point I just want a deal done
Why won’t the blazers give up Damian Lillard for literal peanuts? Are they stupid?
I’m tired, boss
That’s so pathetic omg
We all relate to the trailblazers on this right?
The soap opera for men continues.
Most guys on here would be better off watching Days of Our Lives than they would the NBA.
The Heat should just reply “We would be if we took on Dame’s horrendous contract.”
One type of “reporting” for this saga: Portland rules and is kicking Miami’s ass haha.
The other type of “reporting” for this saga: Miami made one offer once and doesn’t actually care if they get a generational talent that could push them over the Finals hump they’ve been unable to get over.
Either all this shit is strictly media posturing, or both sides care more about being cool than getting anything done.
Bruh they’ve said the same shit about this for the last 4 months. God i shouldve been a sports journalist, easiest job in the world.
