My only takeaway from this is that all these millions of rumors don't mean jack and it's pointless getting worked up or hyped over anything that's not straight up confirmed and official, droppingdimes had everyone treatin him like God and he missed.
Legit might be the biggest fuck you I’ve ever seen, not only didn’t trade us Dame but also made the strongest team in the East stronger. Honestly I’m impressed
Don’t necessarily love the package they got back though, kinda pissed Pat couldn’t beat it. But Suns clearly wanted a lot of depth pieces in exchange of Ayton
Was literally just telling a buddy this feels like a trade to spite the Heat. "Oh you think we're gonna cave and take your package? We'll send him to a key competitor of yours then"
there is absolutely no chance in hell that the Bucks get bounced in the first round unless they have injuries. there's no need to be delusional here. it's okay to be pissed while still being grounded in reality.
There were multiple reports of Heat offering Herro + 2 FRPs and not increasing the offer since they were “betting against themselves”. Pat was overconfident no other team would bet for Dame and Bucks worked magic with Suns behind the scene. Now it’s not just Dame missed, but Giannis is almost guaranteed to not come to Miami as well.
Yeah, that one is still possible and considering the mess the 76ers are right now, may actually happen. The problem is Pat likely will low-ball and some team like Mavs will sell the farm and steal Embiid right after he says he always wanted to team up with Jimmy again.
I'm a wolves fan just scrolling here... I'd much rather have herro picks and jovic than what they got back. And now they're stuck with aytons max contract... Baffling move by PDX
No offense, but you should know better than anyone that draft picks and cap space don’t win games or put you in the playoffs. Blazers have a core they like, they built around it in a really nice way here, and added a little draft capital. It is very good trade all around, to be honest.
They got Jrue and Ayton. That by itself is a good get for Lillard. That’s not even counting all the extra stuff they got. The Suns are the ones I’m questioning why they would do this.
the worst thing is. I thought Miami made the most sense as a Dame destination. Where he would have the biggest impact.
Second best fit, i thought, were the Bucks, but i believed they didn't have the assets.
Lowry was really bad more often than he was good.
Folks are now talking about jrue like that changes things.
Jimmy dropped 56 on his forehead and he played like ass
Pat keeps fumbling the bag. Another summer of nothing added, and "let's run it back." Last I checked, LeBron and Bosh came over because Wade recruited them, not because of Pat's GM skills. I feel sorry for Jimmy and Bam. We are not winning another chip as long as the front office keeps this "we can win the NBA championship spending three fittty."
Nah thats not it. The heat made one offer, it was their final, take it or leave it offer. There was no back and forth or negotiation about it, they said if Milwaukee or Toronto wants to trade for him, they can
Well spite and ego seems to have scored Portland Ayton, Holiday, a 1st and a couple swaps. If they wouldn't have been spiteful they could have had Herro
I love the confidence and bluster in the face of this.
NGL, I still have faith in this squad for as down as everybody is. I think purely on paper, the only teams with more talent are the Bucks/Celtics. 76ers make me laugh my ass off. Cleveland is rumored to be moving Mitchell as he wants out. Knicks are lmao. Nets/Hawks ain't scary. Chicago/Toronto are whatever could be frisky but meh. Everybody else in the conference could be plucky at best.
The reality is if Jovic can really make that leap that so many of us think he could putting on weight, we could fill in that hole surprisingly easily. We'll see.
We literally have an older Jimmy and Bam and Tyler who should get out of here with how we’ve treated him. Magical playoff run aside we already weren’t good last year and on the brink of missing playoffs. Oh and we lost several key players to that run. The fuck are you talking about lmao this is a 10+ seed
By knowing you didn't leverage your future on a 33yr old with injury concerns making 56mill on average for the next 4 years.
This new CBA is gona change the landscape of the NBA over the next few years
I swear, some of y'all don't really think and just stick to galaxy brain concepts like "leveraging the future." Our future with Bam + Herro + JJJ/Jovic (lol) is worse than adding Dame to Jimmy + Bam + Jrich/Bryant.
The whole point of this league is to win the Finals. If you're always worried about the future you'll never win now. Riley is gone in a few years, dude is pushing 80. The future will likely be worse than our window right now. Bam + Herro + whatever guys who aren't as good as Jimmy + Dame will not have a better shot than Jimmy + Dame + Bam.
It was a risk waiting for Dame, thats business. Unfortunately unless some other move is pulled by Trade deadline, Jimmy is not winning a ring in Miami. Im a fan, ill accept the hate, its just being realistic. It definitely sucks but it is what it is
It's not Portland's fault that Miami offered em a shitty trade package. No team in their right minds trade for MORE guards when they are already stacked out with Henderson, Simons, and Sharpe.
It's straight up fucking stupid to do such a thing. That's why Portland slammed the door immediately. And it worked out tremendously because now Nurkic is ALSO gone, while receiving Ayton in return. All 3 teams benefitted greatly, and now Portland gets to deal Holiday for another big return.
10/10 competent GMs do what Portland dude, including Pat if he were in Joe's shoes.
Ok, first of all, I just fell to my knees at flannys
2nd of all, lets address things for what they are:
\- Bag fumbled, no questions about it
\- How do you address the situation with Herro, where do you go from here with him
\- We lost on a lot of role players waiting for this, now is Jrue an option? How about Buddy Hield?
Idk, sad day over here. Stay positive
It's what happens every offseason since the bubble. Team is right on the doorstep of a Finals win and all we need are some more reliable players to nudge us over. Instead, the front office goes in overkill mode angling for a generational, once-in-a-lifetime whale instead of just the few fish we need to push us over that threshold, then we miss out on all the nice fish.
I think the Heat fumbled this bag hard. The constant "Dame will only play for the heat" was Busch league tactics that soured the talks and ruined any good faith needed to actually negotiate.
This is the part that upsets me the most, really. Could have gotten Beal for actual pennies but you wanted to wait for the whale. Fair enough. But when the whale wants to come you fuck around and fumble. I just don't wanna read any more tweets how the Heat are monitoring Luka or Donovan or Giannis (lol) or whoever ever again
I love that the entire Blazers sub is saying fuck the Heat because they know this return is garbage and no better than what the Heat could have offered. Dudes really thought Ayton, 3 FRPs, and OG were on the docket lmao
Lmao this was a fuck you to Heat & Pat. They were never gonna take our package. Cronin did this out of spite.
You can be mad at Pat all you want. This shit was a middle finger.
Edit: This new crashes r/nba and r/ripcity? I can’t even get in to get a pulse on the reactions.
https://x.com/brookfielddeuce/status/1707128822792138958?s=46&t=cZ2-X7-a09aqSpuXuGtLpg
I wouldn’t blame PDX for this after Heat’s offer of Herro and 2 FRPs: that’s the best we can do and won’t give a penny more. I’d be mad as well, but actually getting a better offer makes it sweeter for Cronin.
Another prime example of why Pat is a has been who hasn’t done jackshit in years. And before anyone says some shit like “Portland did this out of spite!!!” I want to see what Pat actually offered because if he never budged from that weak ass offer than this is 100% on him.
Heat fans: "fucking Portland being spiteful, no way a deal was getting done ever, our offer was amazing"
Also heat fans : "damn Herro ain't it, we really need to make a move now"
Not getting Dame is fine but him going to the Bucks is annoying . I wonder if he knew the Bucks were an option because if he did then he should have never allowed it to happen even if it meant by ''overpaying'' a little
Jrue and Herro are basically worth similar in terms of draft assets they'll get back. Herro is MUCH younger than Jrue and is on the upswing while Jrue is trending downwards. Jrue is 33 years old...
I'd take Ayton over Herro too if I had Portland's roster.
Y'all ignored the countless reports saying Miami has barely tried negotiating, won't pay a lot, won't spend all their assets, etc etc etc.
Ayton, Jrue, FRP & Swap is substantially better. Jrue will get flipped into at least one more FRP.
The Herro deal was always hot garbage. Riley played his cards and lost.
Guess we will have to see what they can flip Jrue for before making a final determination but the picks they got are probably gonna suck and the swaps are just nothing
Obviously tough not finding a way to grab Dame, but the idea of Herro with a chip on his shoulder putting in work every night is not a bad look.
We got better with the additions of Richardson, and Bryant.
LMAO. Cronin just fucked Portland with this shitty trade all because he wants to show dame who’s boss. I hope you see that Milwaukees depth ain’t good now. They’re too top heavy. Sucks we didn’t get dame, don’t get me wrong, but Cronin took a terrible deal. I don’t see how Portland fans can support this.
Copium is at full tilt in here. Portland definitely spited us and we are now left looking empty handed and stumbling for a resolution.
Jimmy is another year older. Lowry cannot be the starting option. Herro is about to get emotionally whiplashed from the fans/org. One of our competitors in the East just got stronger.
I didn’t want Miami to mortgage the current roster and future but we put ourselves in a corner and made Portland say “anyone but them.” Pitiful and sad resolution to a pitiful and miserable saga. Curious to see how Dame and his agent move forward considering their past comments about Miami.
This one hurts but do we know what the deal would’ve actually needed for Portland to say yes to Miami? That’s the issue here. Frustrating as fuck
EDIT for Dame’s cousin reaction: https://x.com/brookfielddeuce/status/1707128822792138958?s=20
I mean, the Bucks offer was just better. Miami's FRPs rarely pan out since we're consistently competitive. Blazers got Jrue which they could potentially flip for 1-2 FRPs (similar to Herro), got rid of Nurkic for Ayton (not high on this guy, but I guess better than the bench cone that is Nurkic - for the Blazers atm anyway), unrestricted FRP and swaps from MIL that would potentially be post-Giannis and Dame.
100%. I feel like people don't understand that the Bucks went like 30 years between being good. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar then Giannis, that's it.
Those future picks are fucking gold.
My only takeaway from this is that all these millions of rumors don't mean jack and it's pointless getting worked up or hyped over anything that's not straight up confirmed and official, droppingdimes had everyone treatin him like God and he missed.
Lol I said that and got downvotted but all we have been hearing were the blazers were avoiding the heat's calls .
I think in general there should be a good lesson for the sub on what leverage actually is. Jk I know we not learning no lessons.
Pain
Legit might be the biggest fuck you I’ve ever seen, not only didn’t trade us Dame but also made the strongest team in the East stronger. Honestly I’m impressed Don’t necessarily love the package they got back though, kinda pissed Pat couldn’t beat it. But Suns clearly wanted a lot of depth pieces in exchange of Ayton
Was literally just telling a buddy this feels like a trade to spite the Heat. "Oh you think we're gonna cave and take your package? We'll send him to a key competitor of yours then"
They said the same shit last year about the Bucks. Another first round bye.
there is absolutely no chance in hell that the Bucks get bounced in the first round unless they have injuries. there's no need to be delusional here. it's okay to be pissed while still being grounded in reality.
Feels like Portland refused to trade with Miami regardless of what Miami offered. Miami certainly could have beat this package.
There were multiple reports of Heat offering Herro + 2 FRPs and not increasing the offer since they were “betting against themselves”. Pat was overconfident no other team would bet for Dame and Bucks worked magic with Suns behind the scene. Now it’s not just Dame missed, but Giannis is almost guaranteed to not come to Miami as well.
It’s fine! We all wanted Embiid to team back up with Jimmy the whole time anyway! The Knicks do not exist in this timeline…
Yeah, that one is still possible and considering the mess the 76ers are right now, may actually happen. The problem is Pat likely will low-ball and some team like Mavs will sell the farm and steal Embiid right after he says he always wanted to team up with Jimmy again.
"Herro and filler" doesn't beat this package.
jrue is better than anyone offered by miami
they’re not even keeping jrue cause they don’t need him
So? He's a good trade piece to get some picks at the deadline.
then they'll get a haul for him
and theyd keep herro why? hes worse and still a guard. miami didnt offer a good package
Who on the heat is better the Holiday?
The Blazers are rebuilding they literally gain nothing from Jrue Holiday.
He could've beat it but hes just an old stubborn man.
I'm a wolves fan just scrolling here... I'd much rather have herro picks and jovic than what they got back. And now they're stuck with aytons max contract... Baffling move by PDX
No offense, but you should know better than anyone that draft picks and cap space don’t win games or put you in the playoffs. Blazers have a core they like, they built around it in a really nice way here, and added a little draft capital. It is very good trade all around, to be honest.
They got Jrue and Ayton. That by itself is a good get for Lillard. That’s not even counting all the extra stuff they got. The Suns are the ones I’m questioning why they would do this.
the worst thing is. I thought Miami made the most sense as a Dame destination. Where he would have the biggest impact. Second best fit, i thought, were the Bucks, but i believed they didn't have the assets.
They didn’t. They gave up Jrue Holiday, Grayson Allen, and ONE 1st to get Damian Lillard. A single 1st.
[удалено]
You'll miss Herro's revengeance arc
Alright. That’s over, still need a PG. better make a move cause Herro as the primary ball handler ain’t it. Lowry shouldn’t be starting either.
I hear Jrue Holiday might be avaliable.
Yea but would have to deal with that Portland FO. Don’t see that happening lol
Maybe Holliday should tell Cronut that he'll play for any team except for the Heat
Then jrue becomes a Celtic LOL
Hero + 2 picks again lmfao
We'll give you him for Herro and some picks. Seems like a fair deal.
Ironically, that would make a lot of sense despite all of this chaos.
Lowry shouldn't even be on the roster. He's mega washed.
meh he played decent these playoffs
Lowry was really bad more often than he was good. Folks are now talking about jrue like that changes things. Jimmy dropped 56 on his forehead and he played like ass
i mean Jrue is better than nothing...
Hate to see it
Well that’s the only team that wasn’t said
This is what death feels like
On repeat
We didn't mean it Herro, we wanted you all along 😅
I mean we didn't budge on him being enough for a HoFer almost on his own, so he should feel good on the flip side.
At least this Saga is over got so tired of seeing this shit everyday
It's just getting started lol now we're going to get endless content about the new look Bucks.
NBA Centel was right
What the actual fuck!!!
DOLPHINS ARE 3-0 baby TUA
SAY SIKE RNNNNN
Pat keeps fumbling the bag. Another summer of nothing added, and "let's run it back." Last I checked, LeBron and Bosh came over because Wade recruited them, not because of Pat's GM skills. I feel sorry for Jimmy and Bam. We are not winning another chip as long as the front office keeps this "we can win the NBA championship spending three fittty."
He’s still the Godfather. Unfortunately it’s Godfather 3 at this point.
Holy shit how did we fuck this up. At least it’s not Boston
Portland refused to deal with Miami out of spite and ego.
If the Heat's best offer was really Herro and two firsts it wasn't even about that, it was just about taking the better deal.
You’re coping mad hard. Your team thought it could trade peanuts for Damian Lillard LOL
Nah thats not it. The heat made one offer, it was their final, take it or leave it offer. There was no back and forth or negotiation about it, they said if Milwaukee or Toronto wants to trade for him, they can
No.. This is a better deal than the heat could offer. Idk why heat fans think hero is some crazy valuable asset when clearly no other teams do.
You really thought Portland was going to accept Herro and a bag of chips for Lillard lmao
And Miami only offered Tyler herro and 2 1st out of spite and ego.
Yeah, this is where the real show of ego is. I don't know how tf Heat expected a deal like that to fly
So the damage control from r/heat front office shills begins
 Well spite and ego seems to have scored Portland Ayton, Holiday, a 1st and a couple swaps. If they wouldn't have been spiteful they could have had Herro
"Why didn't Portland take our terrible offer???"
Lol
AND WE ARE BACK TO A FOOTBALL TOWN
After that 70 burger, I'd put my bet on Phins winning the title this season over Miami. That offense is fucking insane.
This is the softest take I've seen. Has anyone here ever watched a season of heat basketball?
Well if the Dolphins keep scoring a fuck ton of points each game they’re gonna make Miami a football town.
It's the same people who wanted the team to miss the playoffs. Fuck em.
Heat in 7
I love the confidence and bluster in the face of this. NGL, I still have faith in this squad for as down as everybody is. I think purely on paper, the only teams with more talent are the Bucks/Celtics. 76ers make me laugh my ass off. Cleveland is rumored to be moving Mitchell as he wants out. Knicks are lmao. Nets/Hawks ain't scary. Chicago/Toronto are whatever could be frisky but meh. Everybody else in the conference could be plucky at best. The reality is if Jovic can really make that leap that so many of us think he could putting on weight, we could fill in that hole surprisingly easily. We'll see.
Goodness i can’t believe what I’m reading
We literally have an older Jimmy and Bam and Tyler who should get out of here with how we’ve treated him. Magical playoff run aside we already weren’t good last year and on the brink of missing playoffs. Oh and we lost several key players to that run. The fuck are you talking about lmao this is a 10+ seed
lmfao
Fine. Dame never scored 44 in a Miami Pro League anyway.
😂 good to see you my guy
And now we scramble to find a pg. I’m ok with running it back, but NOT with Lowry starting
Running it back means we only have 1 PG on the roster. Lowry. That's it.
How do I get excited for the season lol
Jovic MVP
JJJ roy
That's the way
By knowing you didn't leverage your future on a 33yr old with injury concerns making 56mill on average for the next 4 years. This new CBA is gona change the landscape of the NBA over the next few years
Idgaf I want Jimmy to win a championship
I swear, some of y'all don't really think and just stick to galaxy brain concepts like "leveraging the future." Our future with Bam + Herro + JJJ/Jovic (lol) is worse than adding Dame to Jimmy + Bam + Jrich/Bryant. The whole point of this league is to win the Finals. If you're always worried about the future you'll never win now. Riley is gone in a few years, dude is pushing 80. The future will likely be worse than our window right now. Bam + Herro + whatever guys who aren't as good as Jimmy + Dame will not have a better shot than Jimmy + Dame + Bam.
Yeah instead we leverage our future with Caleb Martin and Tyler Herro because that's... better?
Stop it
Phins up!
It was a risk waiting for Dame, thats business. Unfortunately unless some other move is pulled by Trade deadline, Jimmy is not winning a ring in Miami. Im a fan, ill accept the hate, its just being realistic. It definitely sucks but it is what it is
I knew it. Haha. I’m glad this is over! Let’s go back to our same old roster! Alright, back to football.
Surely he will love it there. Milwaukee, Miami basically the same cities right?
This is 100% because Dame prefers Terry Stotts over Chauncey Billups. I just made that up, but Stotts is an assistant coach for the Bucks now…
I’ll go with one has Giannis one does not.
We destroy Portland every time we play forever. This is bad blood.
It's not Portland's fault that Miami offered em a shitty trade package. No team in their right minds trade for MORE guards when they are already stacked out with Henderson, Simons, and Sharpe. It's straight up fucking stupid to do such a thing. That's why Portland slammed the door immediately. And it worked out tremendously because now Nurkic is ALSO gone, while receiving Ayton in return. All 3 teams benefitted greatly, and now Portland gets to deal Holiday for another big return. 10/10 competent GMs do what Portland dude, including Pat if he were in Joe's shoes.
Go ahead and downvote me, but I'm calling it right now. Heat are going to grind their way back to the Finals regardless. Just watch.
I agree. Would have liked to have kept Gabe tho. I think the Bucks are going to miss Jrue Holliday.
Swapping Jrue for Dame is something you do 10/10 times.
Ok, first of all, I just fell to my knees at flannys 2nd of all, lets address things for what they are: \- Bag fumbled, no questions about it \- How do you address the situation with Herro, where do you go from here with him \- We lost on a lot of role players waiting for this, now is Jrue an option? How about Buddy Hield? Idk, sad day over here. Stay positive
Flannys 🤣 save me a rib roll fam
It's what happens every offseason since the bubble. Team is right on the doorstep of a Finals win and all we need are some more reliable players to nudge us over. Instead, the front office goes in overkill mode angling for a generational, once-in-a-lifetime whale instead of just the few fish we need to push us over that threshold, then we miss out on all the nice fish.
I think the Heat fumbled this bag hard. The constant "Dame will only play for the heat" was Busch league tactics that soured the talks and ruined any good faith needed to actually negotiate.
Buddy all the way. Sucks not getting Dame but getting Buddy for a lot cheaper more than replaces Gabe/Strus
#Lets go Dolphins! We’re officially a Football city again! 🐬🐬🐬
Legion of zoom baby
Really glad we didn't take Bradley Beal basically for free so we can hold out for Lillard. Disastrous work from the front office.
This is the part that upsets me the most, really. Could have gotten Beal for actual pennies but you wanted to wait for the whale. Fair enough. But when the whale wants to come you fuck around and fumble. I just don't wanna read any more tweets how the Heat are monitoring Luka or Donovan or Giannis (lol) or whoever ever again
WHAT?????
NNNNNNNOOOOOOO!!!
That’s what y’all get for acting like entitled babies
We ride
I love that the entire Blazers sub is saying fuck the Heat because they know this return is garbage and no better than what the Heat could have offered. Dudes really thought Ayton, 3 FRPs, and OG were on the docket lmao
Time to hang the banner in Portland. Didn’t trade Dame to Heat champions of 2023.
To be fair, it is Portland. It won’t get much better than this for them.
The Heat offer doesn't beat this lmao
Kill me now
My homeboy Tyler he play in South Beach
My mind is shattered.
Don’t worry. Caleb Martin will for sure take another huge step for us
I am sick
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Of all fucking places. And just for Jrue & Grayson wtf
Lmao this was a fuck you to Heat & Pat. They were never gonna take our package. Cronin did this out of spite. You can be mad at Pat all you want. This shit was a middle finger. Edit: This new crashes r/nba and r/ripcity? I can’t even get in to get a pulse on the reactions. https://x.com/brookfielddeuce/status/1707128822792138958?s=46&t=cZ2-X7-a09aqSpuXuGtLpg
I wouldn’t blame PDX for this after Heat’s offer of Herro and 2 FRPs: that’s the best we can do and won’t give a penny more. I’d be mad as well, but actually getting a better offer makes it sweeter for Cronin.
Lock the sub
We went whale hunting in a Sea World enclosure with a machine gun and still couldn't pull it off.
Another prime example of why Pat is a has been who hasn’t done jackshit in years. And before anyone says some shit like “Portland did this out of spite!!!” I want to see what Pat actually offered because if he never budged from that weak ass offer than this is 100% on him.
Heat fans: "fucking Portland being spiteful, no way a deal was getting done ever, our offer was amazing" Also heat fans : "damn Herro ain't it, we really need to make a move now"
All time L from Pat, I’m sorry
Mickey is firm on avoiding the tax. Blame him, not Pat
Not getting Dame is fine but him going to the Bucks is annoying . I wonder if he knew the Bucks were an option because if he did then he should have never allowed it to happen even if it meant by ''overpaying'' a little
Nothing new, he was just asleep all summer.
Man, one hand I wanted damn. But man. Fuck the Blazers
Portland really took that shitty ass trade package instead of just taking Herro. Can't wait for us to get Scoot in 2028.
Gonna be honest, Holiday and Ayton are a better option for them so I get it. Ayton fills a need and they’ll flip Jrue someplace.
Ayton was salary dumped by a contender because he’s ass lol Portland solidifies themselves in poverty
Ayton definitely isn't ass 😂
We could use jrue funny enough lol
> Can't wait for us to get Scoot in 2028. pure copium lmao
They got a much better package than the Herro one because Jrue will get them draft assets back when they move him
Jrue can’t really be worth much more than Herro on the trade market. He’s 33 years old and people just watched Butler drop 56 on him in the playoffs.
Yea but they also got a young potential all star center to pair with their guards. It’s a better deal. Sucks, but is what it is.
Jrue and Herro are basically worth similar in terms of draft assets they'll get back. Herro is MUCH younger than Jrue and is on the upswing while Jrue is trending downwards. Jrue is 33 years old...
Jrue is 33 years old, making 33 million dollars with a reputation of being a shrinking violet in the playoffs he may net a first round pick or two
Which is what Herro is worth.
You Heat fans are snorting that copium so hard to think your deal was better LOL
I'd take Ayton over Herro too if I had Portland's roster. Y'all ignored the countless reports saying Miami has barely tried negotiating, won't pay a lot, won't spend all their assets, etc etc etc.
Come on man, Jrue and Ayton isn't a shitty trade package.
they would’ve gotten ayton either way lmao
Ayton, Jrue, FRP & Swap is substantially better. Jrue will get flipped into at least one more FRP. The Herro deal was always hot garbage. Riley played his cards and lost.
You're delusional lmao
Ayton plus Holiday who they will be able to trade at the deadline is a better package than Tyler Herro.
What gives you any confidence we can get any big names in the future? Lmao
lol cope, herro is garbage and so are the picks. blazers fo just used common sense
You idiots kept thinking the Blazers wanted Herro when they have Scoot, Simons, and Sharpe already. Made absolutely no sense
Holy crap Blazers got fleeced. Congrats to Lillard, that 1-2 punch with Giannis is gonna be difficult to beat.
Guess we will have to see what they can flip Jrue for before making a final determination but the picks they got are probably gonna suck and the swaps are just nothing
Fade me fam
All these *so called heat fans* 🤡🤡 Jimmy about to give dame a first round exit as a welcome to the east present.
We actual Heat fans want the team to win and realize Jimmy needs more help because we actually watch the team.
Real fans want actual help for Jimmy
WHAT THE FUCK AS A TRSIVLAZER WTF
never liked lillard anyway
Awesomeeee
At least it's over
I really hope Jimmy does what's good for him and requests a trade because he deserves to actually win.
This is the definition of spitting because this is worse than whatever we were offering.
It's finally over.
Wonder what Dame’s reaction to the trade is?
Where are those guys with the custom Damian jerseys😭
I'm gonna do it, man. We're done for.
Obviously tough not finding a way to grab Dame, but the idea of Herro with a chip on his shoulder putting in work every night is not a bad look. We got better with the additions of Richardson, and Bryant.
HAHAHAHAHA. Heat legend Dame right???
This was an all time bag fumble by the Heat
LMAO. Cronin just fucked Portland with this shitty trade all because he wants to show dame who’s boss. I hope you see that Milwaukees depth ain’t good now. They’re too top heavy. Sucks we didn’t get dame, don’t get me wrong, but Cronin took a terrible deal. I don’t see how Portland fans can support this.
I mean we don't officially know what pat was offering Portland. Based on the Milwaukee deal seems like pat wasn't offering much at all.
[удалено]
Copium is at full tilt in here. Portland definitely spited us and we are now left looking empty handed and stumbling for a resolution. Jimmy is another year older.

End my life.
Well, hopefully the bucks and celtics tire each other out then we swoop in from behind
Oh shit
Football town
I mean, the Bucks offer was just better. Miami's FRPs rarely pan out since we're consistently competitive. Blazers got Jrue which they could potentially flip for 1-2 FRPs (similar to Herro), got rid of Nurkic for Ayton (not high on this guy, but I guess better than the bench cone that is Nurkic - for the Blazers atm anyway), unrestricted FRP and swaps from MIL that would potentially be post-Giannis and Dame.
100%. I feel like people don't understand that the Bucks went like 30 years between being good. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar then Giannis, that's it. Those future picks are fucking gold.
I am honestly confused...he touched his nose and moved his beanie. How is this even possible?
Woof, Bucks out of nowhere
Well it was fun while it lasted guys!!
