Eh, Milwaukee's deal was bad, too, without bringing in a third team. I'm sure Miami could've found a third team, too, but it also sounds like Portland wanted nothing to do with sending Lillard there. It felt like they just stonewalled him because he made it public, so that's why I push back on the idea of not liking how Dame handled it when I don't think the Portland front office really tried to do right by him either.

Like there's a difference between "we didn't like Miami's offer" and "we aren't sending you to Miami," and it feels like Portland wasn't just operating under the basis of the former there.
