    Now I know how people feel when they make a dumb tweet and can’t pull it back, I apologize not something that I should have said or even hinted at, walk of shame on this one

    Hot take: Dame regrets asking to be traded ("What have I done?") but his pride isn't letting him admit that.

    I think he never thought the fans would turn on him like this.

    There's nothing Miami can do to get a decent offer for Dame. There's no reason to drag it out. Just send him to Boston already and send Brown to a third team which would certainly net us more assets than anything Miami can ever offer.

    I agree that hubris plays a role in his behavior. However, enough time has passed for him to change course, yet he seems to be stepping on the gas.

    Per what Woj reported and Goodwin confirmed, the fact that is what is being done and that he is telling other teams not to trade for Dame....that is Dame's permission and approval. Not only did Dame sign for the largest SuperMax he could, then as soon as he possibly could, he asked for a trade. IIUC, there had to be a year wait. Well, he waited the least amount of time possible, then asked for a trade, and is now trying to dictate where he is going to go thereby limiting what Portland would get back.

    To have a preferred list of teams is one thing. To go scorched earth and approve of his agent to let any other team to not trade for him....very disappointing and am losing respect. And I'm tired of the loyalty mantra. Can anyone point out where he took less money to stay here? Did he remain loyal to Portland for less? No, he took the absolute most that he could....and after doing so, waited the minimum amount of time to ask out.

    This has me fired up and I'll come down from this in a bit, but by doing what he is doing, he is trying to hurt the franchise and it's future.....which he has shown now he doesn't care about. "Want to be here." Want to be the greatest Blazer ever." "Here for the grind"....but want to go to a team in the Conf Finals 3 of the last 4 years.

    Can I trade my Lillard jersey in for Sharpe's or Scoots?

    I appreciate it, I’m not one to be bullied or spread rumors HCP was right it was bad post and unfair to Dame. Even if I know something to be true or not it’s not my place to make that type of post. Not who I am as a person

    The casual is probably oblivious to what’s going on because they aren’t gobbling up every single tweet or podcast that comes out, but the fans online here or Reddit are pissed at him.
