Report: Dame won’t sit out if traded to non-Miami team

[KingSpeed]

This is promising news:

“According to people Matt Moore of The Action Network spoke to, Lillard is not expected to sit out if he’s traded somewhere he doesn’t want to be.”

Great. Send him to Minnesota.

If that is true, then for his own reputation he should come out and say that he just wants to be traded to a contending team. Not saying anything doesn't really help. Yes, he will not sit out, but nobody will trade value for an unhappy, but playing, Dame.

 

[SlyPokerCat]

I mean, duh. He isn't going to sit out and not get paid tens of millions of dollars.

Fuck you Miami.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Matt Moore of The Action Network...

 

[Pinwheel1]

Yeah, any suggestion that he would ........was absurd. (Haynes)

As far as I understand, public acknowledgment of trade requests are subject to a fine from the league.

 

[julius]

I think it's a case of either him realizing that Miami is unlikely, or his way of saying "get your shit together Miami".

But if you ask Miami fans, it's proof he's being traded today with several picks and assets for Herro alone.

For who? Karl Anthony Towns?

 

[crandc]

Dame, whatever you think of him, is nobody's fool.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Dame, whatever you think of him, is nobody's fool.

His agent, however, has been fired by both Lebron and Durant.

 

[illmatic99]

His agent, however, has been fired by both Lebron and Durant.

And Dwight Howard

 

[KingSpeed]

For who? Karl Anthony Towns?

Yes

 

[inconceivable]

Yes

Word on the street is KAT is done in Minny.

I do not want him on the blazers tho.

Also, the reporting is funny, the source is people the network spoke to, wtf is that?

Still, I believe Dame won't sit.

I want to see KAT on another team before acting like he’s a bust. Remember- at one point he won the GM survey for who is the one player you’d take to build around.

 

[Tince]

I don't think it's likely Dame would sit out, but I'm not sure Matt Moore would be the source to actually know what Dame would/wouldn't do.

Key take-away: Those surveys don't mean much.

Ben Simmons can probably say the same.

 

[maxiep]

Not surprising. He's too competitive to ever sit out simply to try to force a move to another team. Not to mention the money he would lose.

 

[Strenuus]

And that "at one point" is not today.

So it means one thing: he's not worth it today. Times change. Keep up and don't fall for old news.

 

[Freshtown]

I wonder if this report instills some confidence in the non-Miami teams to make a compelling offer.

I’d love too have him on the Blazers, and please tell us what street you heard this on?

 

[AquaXI]

Lebatard will accuse WOJ of somehow influencing this report!

"I just know I can control what I know and how my mindset is," Towns told GQ. “I’ve said I want to do great things in Minnesota and nothing in my mind has changed that. They’re the ones with the cards. They’ll let me know how they look at me in my eyes and that’s where we’ll go from."

Towns concluded: “I’ve been in Minnesota so long, anything’s possible."

[HailBlazers]

Not a Kat fan but I'd take him at this point.

 

[TBpup]

I spoke to someone in Minneapolis this morning, and they are saying KAT is very likely gone. In fact, they are resigned to the idea that he most definitely won't be back.

You're saying will not be back for the '23-'24 season? (So he's traded in the next 3 months?)

I don't especially love KAT, but I think thats a risk you take if the price is cheap. Id rather have KAT over Ayton any day of the week

 

[Mediocre Man]

Ironically, with all of this KAT talk, Dame in Minnesota really makes them a big 3. Gobert, Edwards and Dame is interesting

With Kat I dont think the price is ever cheap with that contract.
