That is immaterial though because Dame’s agent salted the fields and burnt them down calling Morey and others and saying don’t you fuck dare trade for him.
Considering the Villanova kid dropped that far, I would agree with this but only because in the end Portland is taking whatever the Heat want to part with anyway.
What they’re doing now is putting a pause on Miami’s off season just to fuck with them. It’s 100% petty but I don’t blame them. Somebody wants to r*pe you in the ass you don’t help them do it.
Yeah...
He thought they were going to help him out and commit to winning.
I mean it pause most of the league but Miami was still able to make minor moves to improve slightly.
Exactly.
What doesn’t it accomplish? There’s no risk in waiting for them. They aren’t missing out on something else because they’ve been told they can only shop in one aisle. I’ve already said I bet some of this is pettiness in trying to get in the way of Miami having the rest of their off season prioritizing this move.
Agreed. But there’s a chance that Dame blinks first and another team or teams get involved. Even if there’s a 1% chance of that, they aren’t giving up anything they could have missed out on.
1. Pettiness
Yeah but they also have a choice to look over the market and see if they can get a talented player at a position of need. No need to settle just to help Miami. In fact, if they don’t think Herro is enough they can choose to keep waiting. No reason to trade your best player in the last 30 years for a 4th-5th starting guard. If nothing becomes available, this is always an option. I would sit on this as long as they can, no harm
Do you think Herro gets better after he leaves the Heat? I don’t. I think it’s more likely he plays for them, is thrust into the role of being the alpha and he’s not that guy and he looks bad being that guy. What’s that asset worth now starting year one of a 4 year extension worth $27 million? If they don’t like Herro the only move is to have him passed off to a third team and get back draft assets for that. They’re not likely to see the asset improve if they already don’t like the asset.
Agree on this. It’s inevitable. That’s why it’s no skin off of Portland’s teeth to wait it out even if it’s a 1% chance they can get better. The vilar d’asno scenario will still be on the table regardless.
Disagree. Is Dame gonna fuck them by showing up and winning games for them? They’d love that shit and all the extra gate they’re getting for those few November December games they get to sell Dame Time for the last time.
I thought I would feel better when Joel finally got a ring. I feel no different.
