Dame Lillard was finally traded…. and it wasn’t to the Miami Heat. The Portland Trail Blazers sent their long-time star guard to the Milwaukee Bucks to play with Giannis, for a package that didn’t look as good as what the Heat could have offered. So who’s at fault? And can the Heat pivot and recover? Ethan, Greg, Brady and Alex sift through it, and there’s not much to be pleased about.

We didn't land Durant, Dame or Beal…maybe it's time to trade Jimmy while he still has value. Outside of Jimmy and Lowry everyone else on the roster is in their early to mid 20's.
Wow! That first segment… talk about a 180 from you guys. As was reported, I wasn’t even in favor of trading that much for Dame but hearing you guys go in on the Heat when I don’t think they could have done any more, was crazy.
The offer was better than Milwaukee
Don’t worry guys. The Mona Lisa of a trade is still on the way
I thought "well, he may go to the Toronto.🤔…he'll be in Miami in a yr tops😂"… BUT, "Cronin and his Cronies" man. Damn😒
Dame was not “clamped” by jrue holiday. Jrue was primary, with constant help from 2nd, even 3rd defenders. The story of that series was the terrible play from the forwards, the same story of Dames entire Blazers career.
Pat need Ty fko
Miami is trash
Liar liar and liar
fake insiders
I’ll never trust anything Greg reports. He talks out the side of his neck
When five reasons sports said they were 99% sure heat would get lillard, I knew it wouldn't happen. They're always wrong 😢
Ethan you done enough talking and wrong let Brady Alex and Greg talk more people tired of hearing your wrong ass 2 months of being dead ass wrong ijs
Need to update that intro cause I can assure you it's no longer " in Pat we trust" here in Heat nation
Lol… nobody knows anything….!!!
This may have permanently hurt relations between us and the blazers for a long time, at least until cronin is fired
I think you guys are being homers, I love the heat but Holiday and Ayton is better then herro and 2 first. Its the heats fault for not throwing out a better initial offer and acting like they had all the leverage. They really haven't done well with Trades in past 10 years . Only FA signings.
Dame gets hurt and we bounce Bucks from Playoffs again
Lol
only hope is caleb martin turning into a 18 PPG player herro upping to like 23 PPG and signing another decent guard like buddy hield
Devastating trade
I bet the Blazers are ready to talk now! Need a first rate PG?
Out of all the teams interested in Jrue, Miami actually has a player that Portland likes in jaquez and they can offer a pick…is that not enough?
I’m totally convinced that this trade was made outta spite….they did everything to not send him to miami
Looks like a Funeral Service 😂😂😂
ARROGANCE GONE WRONG SMH😂
The fact that y’all wanted them to give up all these players for a what if is crazy.. y’all want to see jovic going crazy and Jaime for another team. I didn’t. We are deep af rn
NO DWADE, NO WHALES…
Ethan looks stressed out.
At the end of the day after seeing the Shams report, Aaron Goodwins quote and Dames cousins tweets, Portland seemed to be looking at the best deal that wasn’t Miami. It is what it is
