An 8 seed that lost in 5 and almost failed to make the playoffs in the play-in and will have to gut their depth and assets to get a flawed 33-year old that is going to make $200 million over the next four years.
=/=
A 73-9 superteam that only lost the finals by a miracle and on the slimmest margins to another superteam outright signing (didn’t lost anything of substance) a perennial MVP candidate in his prime on a value deal because he wasn’t signed on a super max deal.
I know you’re on a take-bender right now, but come on.
It's pretty disingenuous to act like the Heat were some ho-hum 8th seed. This team has made the Finals twice in the last 3 or 4 years.
Of course it's not exactly the same thing to the dot, but nothing is if your criteria is so strict.
If I'm the Blazers, I just shut Dame down and wait. Same thing Darryl Morey did with Ben Simmons. Time is actually on the Blazers' side since Dame is under contract and the Blazers are rebuilding. Dame can expand his list of desired teams, or teams can up their offers. Taking the first bad deal isn't a solution for Portland.
Yup, nothing about the Heat package is something you need to close on. Just let it play out and put the pressure on Dame.
The Heat are great. The Warriors are an all-time dynasty in the vein of the 90’s Bulls (that then added Shaq or something, running with the analogy). They are just not the same, not even all that similar due to the scale of difference.
Anthony Davis went full tantrum in NOLA, to the point where the Pels told him to stay away from the team. But in the end, the Pels still got a good return from the Lakers -- Ingram, Ball, Hart, and a boatload of picks and swaps.
Andy's not wrong
He Warriors won 1 ring prior to KD joining them. They became a dynasty because of Durant.
This whole notion that POR did right by Dame because they pay him a lot is hilarious. They wanted him to take that money and were begging him to do. It’s a two sided agreement. It wasn’t a favor they did to Dame. They had to dish out promises they were unable to keep to get him to sign in the first place. If they promised Dame they would be better and they weren’t I don’t get to see why they get to play victim.
I’m not saying Dame deserves to pick his next destination, but it’s pathetic to ignore that the “eating cake” park isn’t a two sided thing.

How many titles have the Butler Heat won? How many games have they won in their finals trips?
It’s okay to say that they are not the same.
