I think we all know OKC is where NBA player on the back nine go to sit **** out for awhile and reconsider life. Every league has a team that is there for rebranding. The goal should be for the Jazz not to become that team.

Portland has been playing plenty nice with Lillard by agreeing to pay him $63m at age 36. If he had taken a pay cut or something out of loyalty or to help making it easier to build around him I could see Portland owing him, but as it stands I don’t think they do. I like Lillard but demanding to be traded to Miami is disappointing and if I were Portland I’d just try to get the biggest return, regardless of which team offers it.

This. He’s a hot commodity. Just not for the Jazz plz
 
Look, if Dame wants to get to Miami, all he has to do is open up his options to force Miami to give their best offer. If he has no use for Scoot, why should he care about the Heat retaining Jaquez? I think the Blazers screwed their build in quite a few ways, but I would bet that most of those decisions were agreed to by Dame when they happened.

Blazers need to do what is best for the Blazers, just like the Jazz did what was best for the Jazz when the time came with both Gobert and Mitchell. There aren't any long term repercussions from what the Jazz did last year. Everybody agrees they did the right thing universally.

This is why I don’t get the argument about blazers doing right by Dame by getting him to Miami at all costs. The very best deal Miami can give the blazers screws the blazers. If you can get just as fair a trade from Miami as you can anywhere else then by all means do right by Dame, but first and for most you do what’s best for the fans and org you are over because if you don’t and just lay down for fame, no one will join you. Lol

He doesn’t have a veto

He has a very expensive veto if be chooses not to report and play. Utah should of course chat with him before pulling the hypothetical trigger on any trade to see if he'd be willing to play here, even if he does not have a lot of choice where he ends up...

Oh, please, Lillard isn't going to hold out if he doesn't go to Miami. He would literally go from being one of the most respected players to the most hated. His endorsements would drop and his legacy would be tarnished far more than the Blazers would be, or the team that trades for him.

He's going to a team better than the Blazers no matter what. A rebuilding team isn't going to make an offer for him. There will not be any sympathy for him anywhere outside of Miami if he holds out.
