Miami Heat Dame Trade Ideas and Rumors

[illmatic99]

Looks like Dame’s camp is making it uncomfortable and messy already. Let’s put on the gloves and get messy as well.

This is nothing. Wait til training camp.

What happens to Dame if the season starts?
(And no trade by that point).

He either sits out and takes a fine, or he shows up. This isnt AD and Rich Paul threatening to leave in FA a yr later if Boston traded for him. Dame has 3 yrs and a PO left.

Exactly. Ben Simmons at least had a back injury to claim that he was sitting out for health reasons. Dame is repeatedly talking about being as healthy as he's ever been.

However, inventing an injury to ensure he got paid while holding out wouldn't be too far afield of all the to-date-reported details of Dame's apparent heel-turn.

Damnit. Off by a day. I was told yesterday….maybe it was?

So he is headed to Miami shortly?

How would I know?

 

[James lamphear]

I figured he will get what wants at the end but Cronin is doing the right thing trying to squeeze everything he can of the trade. Right now Miami don't have enough that's why other teams will be involved in this trade.

I figured it came to you in a vision

Ya, but turns out that it was just gas.

Says Dame to Miami is done

02 not 20

 

[Mediocre Man]

02 not 20

Links to 20 though in his bio, which has been shut down

Not shut down. He just de-activates and activates his account when he has something to post. Turn on notifications for him to see what he's saying.

02 is a fake.

Tyler Herro Rumors: Teams Open to Trading 'Good 1st-Round Pick' amid Lillard Links

Per ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, some teams have said they would be willing to give up "a good first-round pick to the Blazers—maybe something more—to become a facilitator by taking on Herro in a three-way deal."

There's been an expectation that Miami would have to look for at least one additional trade partner to build an enticing package for the Blazers.

AKA the time for all the posturing is over and I would be surprised if this is not done within the next 3 to 5 days IF this report is true and now it's time for Cronin to prove me wrong that he is a complete joke ... NM .... he is a joke but at least show me he can be a GM and not just the a-hole who helped run Dame out of town.

 

[B-Roy]

The reported offer from the Heat to Portland for Lillard is light. Promising young guard Tyler Herro, 23, Duncan Robinson (salary filler) and two first-round picks won’t cut it, and rightfully so.

As of now, according to a league source, Miami’s best offer to Portland hasn’t even reached the levels of what San Antonio received last year for guard Dejounte Murray. The Spurs received three first-round picks and forward Danilo Gallinari in that trade for the one-time All-Star.

It's Fentress, so take it for what it is.

I'm sure it's probably true. Riley is trying to completely fleece us. Dame did this to us.

Even if Miami tosses everything in, it's still a shitty trade but Riley is trying to keep out Jovic, Jaquez, and Martin.

 

[glazeduck]

I'm not sure what to believe anymore... @Mediocre Man is strongly hinting that a deal could be announced at any point and we'll be unhappy with it.

Media messaging seems to be projecting an extended timeline for this thing. Those two seem just about perfectly diametrically opposed to each other...

It's on Cronin if he takes it. He has a history of letting players pick their destination.

Almost every team interested can offer a better package than Miami.

 

[Natebishop3]

If all we get is Herro, Robinson, and 2 picks... I'm going to be furious.

 

[wizenheimer]

Firing up a recording of the Heat/Kings game.

Gonna be watching Jaquez really closely. He didn't have a good game. I'm wondering if Keegan dropped most of his 40 on him.

being a Duck fan I saw Jaquez play several time for UCLA. He's a solid college player, but I sure don't see any starting NBA player quality there. Role player. Sure, squeeze Miami for him if this Dame situation drags out, but I just don't see his inclusion in a trade as that critical. I could be wrong about his talent though, IIRC he did average about 18 & 8; but he's not a good shooter

None of their young guys are exciting. But at this point, I'm demanding them be included just to squeeze Miami as much as we can.... which isn't saying much.

I would go with the media

Why does this dude need six people in his studio?

An actual quote from Goodwin.



This is just shameless really. What is that idiom about not biting the hand that feeds you again?

So Dame and his agent are under the impression that he's a free agent. Idiots.

That's tampering.

Dame is looking like a major bitch. KD the snake didn’t even do this 1 team shit. Why spend 10 years building up ur rep/brand to ruin it in 3 weeks? Oh yeah…money.

 

[illmatic99]

Also didn't realize this stuff has to be done so publicly now.

Burning bridges.

They are doing everything in their power to ensure he goes to the Heat. Scorched earth.

Fuck that, then don't sign the extension.

No, for a trophy. I hope when he gets it, if he does, in that moment, he remembers how he fucked us, and decided to coattail ride, that it feels less worthy to have won it.
