Yeah I agree, do not turn down money- especially in Dame's situation- he earned that right to the max. Portland org owed it to him- along with that the possibility of trading him away if their club was heading towards a rebuild and couldn't be cap flexible enough to field a true to contenderIt's absurd to expect any pro athlete to turn down $ with how quickly their playing career can end. Dame earned the supermax and he had every right to sign it.
A year later assessing Portland's current direction it's also fair for him to not want to be there any longer as well. I don't think any player should be forced to play in a particular city. Whether it's Ben Simmons, James Harden, or Dame. If someone wants out and there is a team they want to play for let them.
Yeah that part is on Dame for sure. But trading him to Giannis without giving up Middleton isn't exactly putting him in Washington or Charlotte or somethingMoral of the story is: "Real Gs move in silence like lasagna."
You end up being too flagrant with your demands and you're not a top 5 guy in the league...95% of the time you're not going to go to exactly where you wanna go. You'll get traded and get out, but these front office dudes got egos too. Need to be amicable about the situation like KD.
And yet you see a number of NT'ers yelling from the rooftops that that wouldn't even been a good offerDame would be a Heat if they had the best trade offer.
Dame could’ve just signed with Miami in free agency. He chose not to.

Dude got traded to a team that now has the best odds to win the title. That wouldn't have been the case if he was traded to Miami- so it is what it is, not mad at the Blazer front office for that one
There's levels to itEYE am pro-player over organization/ownership BUT blindly being pro-player has the same vibes as 'the customer is always right"
From the very beginning Portland obviously didn’t value Herro as a player for their team, nor as a piece that could be flipped for other more ideal assets.The moral of the story is the Heat should have gone harder than Tyler Herro if they wanted Dame.
Don’t try to use your mouthpieces to force any team to take a player they obviously don’t want.
The Heat thought they had the leverage - Portland called their bluff.
Is that him in the twitter picture? I assumed he was Black based on his name. Why does this keep happening to me?As a Miami Hurricanes fan, Barry Jackson is one of the worst journalists on the planet. @Bantz Lord T knows too![]()
GM was moving all sorts of shady throughout and dudes kept siding with the FO![]()

It’s really that simple. People making it into all these other things about loyalty, claiming that people a lot of people said it was an awful offer, etc. They just don’t value Herro, which is not a crazy position to have at all.From the very beginning Portland obviously didn’t value Herro as a player for their team, nor as a piece that could be flipped for other more ideal assets.
Given that, like I said the other day, it was Miami’s job to find a 3rd team that would take Herro in exchange for assets that were more appealing to Portland.
Miami either chose not to, thinking they had some kind of leverage, or couldn’t do it, which is why Portland didn’t want Herro in the first place
Either way, Miami has nobody to blame but themselves for how things were handled.

This place sucks. People stay trying to gas it. Garbage Island where stuff like THIS happens.
It happens every year now. I used to live in Harrison NJ and had to basically wade home the last time. It blows mine when it happens to NYC of all places. The biggest place in the world. The Epicenter of global commerce. The hub of capitalism.Global warming and poor infrastructure. We’re literally gonna have issues everywhere over the next 50 years. This isn’t a New York specific problem.
