I don’t think it’s happening unless Dame straight retires when he hears a different team is the likely target. I really don’t understand what leverage he has outside of some magical do-what-the-star-requests that other teams have been following for whatever reason.

I'm sure Portland would like to accommodate him but it's not a given MIA comes up with the best offer. Do you think Dame putting this out there will make other teams pass on him?
Don't comments like this place Miami in the driver's seat? Why would they offer up anything great if they know it's the only location he wants.
Does Dame have a no trade clause? I'm more of a baseball fan and that is part of some MLB contracts.
He doesn’t have a no trade clause, Blazers can trade him wherever they want.
If the Blazers want to take the best package back I really don't see a way Dame ends up in Miami unless it's a convoluted multi team deal.
Whatever Dame!
Will he want to play for Miami after the trade package that will be needed?
Prob gets that Miami won’t trade Jimmy or Bam and that’s all he needs.
so they are left with Herro and Duncan, which doesn't make sense since Portland is stocked with guards already.
Ya def need a third team
Lol good luck with that
Feel like Boston could make something happen if they give up Brown. Not sure what their picks situation is though.
C’s actually have a number of first round picks but I’d be shocked if they move on Jaylen.
I'm with you. it's a lateral move in my opinion and you'd be giving up picks and another player to move your timeline up 6 years. on the other hand, moving some contracts and sending all the picks to team up the Js and Dame would be terrifying for the east. and that seems a lot better than Herro, UDFA filler and 2 firsts. why would Portland send a super star away for a sub all star package?
Doesn’t help agents seem to be leaking that Miami is the only option. How are you able to get a good faith deal done in that climate?
Easy, it doesn’t matter where Dame wants to go.
It's nice to want things! Portland probably wants to help Dame, but at the end of the day, they still need to watch out for themselves. Lillard is still under contract, so the Blazers have more time to shop him around.
