Nah, don't put this all on Dame. Reportedly when it was clear he wasn't going to Miami, he said he wanted to stay in Portland, and he was told it was too late for that. Portland did him dirty by blatantly refusing to do business with his preferred destination, regardless of whether you think Miami's offer was good or not. They weren't sending him there.

Also I don't want to hear that "Herro didn't fit" what the Blazers wanted to do. Then just flip him like you just did with Holiday. You could have gotten a good return on Herro, too. They just didn't want to send Dame where he wanted to go, so I don't want to hear that he's the bad guy here.

If anything, the problem is that Dame wasn't willing to be more of a bad guy and a bully because he didn't want to alienate himself from the Portland fanbase. Portland called his bluff, and he folded.

Hard disagree with this, I don't think any GM will do something like that out of spite. The fact is that they got more than the heat could reasonably offer.

There is 0 chance they get for herro what they got for jrue
