He could never win a ring with portland, retire a blazer player and then go one to work in their front office for the rest pf his life and be fine within himself being apart of the "greatest players who never won a championship" conversation because he's a guy who was recruited by ONE college, from a neighborhood that values loyalty over results and has the confidence to not link his happiness to a title.

      Haven’t watched the video yet, but I think even if Dame wants to stay, maybe it might be time for Portland to part with him, not just the star wanting to leave. With Dame, they’re kinda stuck with having to build around him, and granted they haven’t been doing well with it, but I think Portland might want to become a high upside team like OKC, with their already high potential guys like Sharpe and Simons.

    You are exactly right. Dame will be paired with a star this offseason one way or another. Sadly, whether they knew they were doing it or not, Portland has developed a rebuild roster over the last few years. Simons, Sharpe, Reddish, Thybulle, Knox, Watford and a multitude of picks and other young players. Dame needs a superstar teammate and the organization needs a rebuild. The choice is simple.

    @Rosetti. Před rokem +2

    I appreciate Dame being loyal and not trying to go somewhere to form a super team. That's something that's been very rare, and it reminds me of the NBA's golden age. Larry only played with Boston, Isiah only played for Detroit, Kobe stuck with the Lakers, Reggie & the Pacers, etc. Lebron started all of this when he went to Miami, and I feel like that's when the league started to go downhill. But there's a point where someone wants to win, and if your organization is not doing enough to help you, you should at least explore some other options.

    • @gabrielsanchez5553
      @gabrielsanchez5553 Před rokem

      Even if is great for the teams to have loyal players. Is not good business for the players that can't get a team around them to be contenders for the championship. That was Lebron's, and many others before him like Rodman, Ben Wallace, Shaq, reason and is the very same reason Dame feels this type of way. Lebron showed how the teams can collapese if they don't value the superstars they have, and more aggressive teams in the FA market or trades give them a chance to be successful at a championship. Never in the history of the NBA you got a championship team without making calculated trades to build a team and that means some players will have to go from one team to other, disregarding their loyalties. The loyalty era is just a stupid narrative, in my opinion, and really attempt to devalue the player's autonomy to make decisions that will benefit their carrer. After all, is their live, we'll being, reputation, and accomplishment feel that are in the line not ours. Lol😅😂

  • @matthewyim7348
    @matthewyim7348 Před rokem

    I find it hard to imagine that just 1 or 2 star players beside Dame would be enough. Having good bench and supporting players are also necessary. The closest example would be the Nets with KD, Kyrie and Harden. Despite them not playing at the same time together during that season, and with good shooting players like Seth Curry, their bench production was not up to par. When there are good rotational players at a cheap price, star heavy teams may work better. In the Free Agency landscape of the NBA, that is hard to find.

    However this Trae Young for Dame swap would actually be insane for Portland, obviously it would do Dame dirty but he doesn’t have a no trade clause, he doesn’t pick where he goes. The NBA is a business and picking up a young star in return for our seasoned vet is a trade we should do and possibly send over a guy or two with Dame so he doesn’t feel hopeless. Hawks have shooters, and lengthy defenders, Capela who is one of the best big men in the league.

      I'm a Miami fan too, if they could get dame without giving up Butler or Bam, then yea I think there's a good chance they are in the finals last year. Lowry and Herro for Dame might be good for both teams, if slightly in Portland's favor really. Assuming Herro doesn't fall off a cliff, he's potentially an all-star player in the next few years and Lowry used to be. They get a young, promising player and an experienced and talented vet to help the youngins for their rebuild phase. Miami gets a bona fide allstar perimeter player to take the pressure off Butler. A big 3 of Butler, Bam and Dame sounds competitive with any other big 3 in the league.

I might be thinking of another sport though. But, if Portland isn't paying him the full amount and it lets Miami free up cap space for Dame and other solid roleplayers/bench, then it might be a great trade for both teams. Or, if Portland is going into rebuild and they are willing to accept paying his contract for an extra pick or something.
      Lowry has been decent, and was definitely one of the best available options at the time for a 'win now' mindset, but he's no Dame. The heat desperately needed a good PG at the time, and Lowry was the best they could get. They certainly overpaid him, cause they were a little desperate. Butler wants to win and win soon. He knows he doesn't really have enough time left in his prime to go to another team and win a ring cause it'll take a few years to work the kinks out.

    I think Dame will be a Knick by next season. The offer: Toppin, Grimes, Hartenstein, Barrett, 2023 (DAL) FRP and their 2026 FRP for Dame and Nurkic. This turns the Knicks into actual championship contenders, plus Hart is reunited with Dame in the starting five.
    I think the Heat also have a good offer of Oladipo, Martin, Robinson, Herro, Jovic and a 2028 FRP for Dame and Nurkic. I think the better offer is the New York one though.

Same type of narrative was built around that trade too but look who’s in the playoffs UP ONE with a more BALANCED team? Yea na. I’m good on Dame. As much as I luv his play and what he can bring to the table I’d pick a gritty balanced team that wants to win anyday.

      It would be extremely difficult to trade for him tho. The Blazers don't really have anything the Celtics would want besides Dame himself, since they would want to remain contenders and get another star to pair with Tatum, they wouldn't be as interested in a bunch of picks and young prospects.
      Unless another big star like Luka or Zion also wants out then I could definitely see a multi team deal happening.

  • @kellsmo9488
    @kellsmo9488 Před rokem

    I think there are more teams than this. Boston could send Brown before he leaves and pair him with Tatum, the Bulls could find a 3rd team and trade Derozan with picks and swaps similarly and realistically get a 3rd even to go with Lavine and Dame. Cleveland could put something around Garland and picks to pair with Mobley and Mitchell. What if Golden State offers Poole, Kuminga and picks and swaps? Toronto has enough pieces to make multiple moves to add Dame with Pascal and someone like Derozan. Point being, that if Dame finally accepts the fate, you’ll see teams move heaven and earth.

    Blazers fan here. As much as it pains me to say it, it would probably be best for both parties to part ways. We obviously can't meet his demands. He does not have the time or patience to wait for us to be in a position to do so. We have a nice young core coming together with Anfernee Simons, Shaedon Sharpe, and whoever we acquire in the upcoming draft. Plus we will put ourselves in a position to add more impact players through the draft with whatever assets we get in the Dame trade. We also have a FO who is capable of evaluating superstar-level talent as evidenced by turning the 7th pick into Shaedon Sharpe who has star player written all over him. The only way it would make sense to hold onto Dame would be if we win the 1st pick and get Wemby. Wembenyama will be an all-star level player and DPOY candidate right out the gate and a superstar-level player before Dame is ready to retire. Dame, Ant, an improved Shaedon, Jerami Grant, and Wembenyama mixed with some quality role players is a team that could contend for a championship right away. If we don't win Wemby, it's probably time to move on 😢
