 What's the word y'all hopefully this is a one-take Damian Lillard requested a trade before we talk about that I just want us NBA fans to eternalize how ridiculous this league really is of course the individual play of basketball is so supreme But the other stuff the off-course stuff is what puts everything together to make it the best league in the world in the last year Again, this is off-top ahead. I might be forgetting some stuff But I just want to I just want you to internalize how crazy movement has been in the NBA over the last just 365 days Kevin Arant, Kari Irvin, James Harden just requested another trade 48 hours ago We're about to see we're about to see Damian Lillard We oh wait wait wait wait the Portland Gerberos have been informed that Damian Lillard wants to trade specifically to the Easter Conference champion Miami We also saw Donov Mitchell, Rudy Gobert and Kirst Paul and and it's just It's just a lot of stuff going on man It's just a lot of stuff going on and this is why I love it again I can't understand the people that don't like this type of player movement as a content creator Baby, we got bills to pay and that's what we doing right here right now. Okay, so Dame officially requested to trade Mention here on this channel over the last couple months that I refuse to talk about Dame rumors or Dame trade Destinations until either him or the trailblazers decide that the relationship has ended and it happened today And I made a tweet yesterday and again I make the same exact tweet today when I woke up because the Miami Heat have been real quiet They lost Gabe Vincent to the Lakers good pick up for the Lakers We thought that Max Drew's just straight up signed to the to the Cavaliers and then turned out to be a three-team trade and then in that three three team They just got a second round pick and exchange instead of getting like a Jedi Osmond instead of getting the Lamar Steve is instead of getting whatever whatever and I'm in here on some Brian Windhorst stuff There must be things going on they must know something that we do not And and you know who knew the dropping dives dude, who is he who was broke? Damian Lillard is probably gonna end up on the Miami And this is where things get real if you because obviously Damian Lillard is the best player in trailblazer history or second best Depending on who you ask. I'm saying he's the best shot to Clyde Drexler, but I'm saying he's the best player in French Ice history. He's also under contract for a couple years if I am the trailblazers Do I need to send him to his preferred destination? Are we doing it because Dam is you know been so loyal to the city or should I be thinking about my organization first? Should I be thinking about my organization first now? I can't I do believe that he's gonna end up on the Miami only time with tail And I feel like as soon as I'm done filming this video the trade is gonna happen It feels like he's gonna go to the Miami. It's gonna be like hero It's good. It's gonna be some stuff. They will do a day They have the 2028 first round pick and 2030 first round pick. I'm just thinking about Damian Lillard As good as he is as he just came off basically the best year of his NBA career That's saying a lot considering how good Dam has been the market for Dame isn't as Lucrative as you want it to be because if we take a look at if we take a look at teams across the league First of all, Dam is telling you himself that he wants to go to the same again It's up to you whether or not you want to buy by that if we take a look around the league The teams that would be interested in Dame Year ago don't really have the same interest and as of right now It is the Miami Heat and potentially the Brooklyn that's because the Nets have all the picks and again Damian Lillard said a couple months ago that Brooklyn will be a place because he's with Mikhail like this And of course Dame is with Bam like this and if the Miami Heat End up turning Tyler hero who didn't play in that playoff run Gabe Vincent who was good, but also shot 30% in the finals from three or whatever and Max Truce One of them shot 30% there I don't I think it might have been Max you should 31% from three in the finals if they turn that and To dame, I know you got a lot of other roster spots that you got a field Ain't absolute absolute win the rich keep getting richer This is this is what I was skeptical about all this because about a week No, the rumors of dame have been going for as long as the offseason has been going right and Joe Cronin had a meeting with Damian Lillard apparently he had a press conference after he Said we are still dedicated to build around Damian Lillard and build a contender here There was no conversation from Damian Lillard himself, right? It was Joe Cronin who's in charge over there saying that he met with dame and and he feels like that they can build a Contender around him and dame was like, all right, whatever. Let's see free as he is about and Angel Roganowski they heat the Clippers in the 70s are three teams that that will have interests and exploring Damian Lillard The Blazers are expected to value deals that bring Their back young players and draft assets. That's big I know I'm all over the place in one take and things are breaking as we speak The fact that they're valuing young players and draft capital That also tells me that they're not really caring about exactly what dame is thinking Dames say I want to go to the heat. They say I but we don't listen to these other office, too The thing is about these three teams They don't have a bunch of draft capital none of these three teams have a bunch of draft capital The young asset for the heat is of course Tyler hero the young asset for the Clippers They don't really have one Terrence Mann is 27. You know I'm saying and the 76ers young guys said is Tyrese maxi I think they throw in Tyrese maxi into the trade with a couple first-round picks and then flipping James Harden to the Clippers for Robert Covington coming back or whatever the 76ers could look a lot different, but it's not just the money Okay, cool Taking a step back going to free AC right dame said hey, I'm gonna see exactly what y'all thinking I'm gonna see exactly what y'all do and what did they do early yesterday morning. They released trend wafford I bet now that they know the dame across in trade They wish they still had trend wafford on the roster just 22 years old and he was making 1.8 million dollars And then they gave Jeremy Grant the biggest deal of of the offseason so far was a five year hundred and sixty million dollar contract Dane was like I messed with Jeremy But that ain't it I mess I mess with Jeremy But that ain't the deal that's gonna put us into contention So you know what I'm gonna chuck up my deuces and I'm moving on to my next seed But okay, so now we have we know there are three teams at your ship and In this from Woltz we do not see the Brooklyn that's not a Brooklyn that's also did make a deal They gave Cam Johnson four years a hundred and eighty eight Not a hundred and eighty a hundred and eight million dollars was about twenty seven million dollars annually Which is a pretty solid contract for for cam shout out to him and his fam But it doesn't seem like they're they're interested or make maybe they am I guess I guess we do not know But they're not one of the three teams that woes just announced and I can see why they wouldn't be They don't have their own first one picked a season So that is a reason for them to go out there and just say hey Let's go get one of the greatest players in the league and they also got all of these these picks from the Traits that they could be interested, but they're not in the three They're not in the three. I think again that that we're gonna look back on whatever trade and The trailblazers are probably gonna be kicking themselves a little bit that they didn't make this trade last season But then you get the butterfly effect the domino effect if they trade a little last season Then maybe they don't end up with the draft odds that jumped up to get school hinders You know what I'm saying so like but like with this being three teams Maybe four teams being the Brooklyn Nets being interested none of those teams have like the mega package that you want He's not he wasn't gonna get a Kevin a rent type package, right? You also don't want to settle for a carry-over type package, you know You want to get something in the the Donovan Mitchell where you get the draft capital But you also get the Larry marketing whoever that may be and the teams that are interested right now That would be looking for Dame have already made big-time deals to get rid of bunch of draft picks We brought in Paul George. You gave them a hundred first-round picks and some swaps Oh, we brought in James Harden. We threw Ben Simmons and some picks We who's the other team the Miami Heat are just a team that make deals They just do and again with them sitting on their hands for the first 24 hours of free AT I knew I knew the heat were up to something and they're gonna try their hardest to really get in on this because They missed on Bradley Beal There are some rumors that they weren't even really interested in Bradley Beal But obviously the idea of BAM and Jimmy Butler being this this duo With the role players around them can get them to a point where they can be in the finals But we saw that offense in the play on the final specifically be so stagnant because Jimmy's dealing with an injured We're just not playing up to a self. They needed another get it go get her It's not that many go get is better than Damian Lillard. Oh boy So the Portland Trailblazers, I mean, I think that they can walk out of this whatever the trade is gonna be And still feel really good because school Henderson is really a dog Shayton Sharpe showed us a lot last season that he's going to be a dog They already have a nice young core right now And I'm not even a cow and Freddy sides is all know exactly what's gonna go on with him because he's making 20 million dollars of Next season, but he is another young player that is good The real thing is now now you already signed Jeremy Grant to a five year hundred and sixty million dollar deal And though there's no such thing as an untradable contract that is a ton that is a ton of money I'm looking at there's another Euro League player coming over to the league going to the Thunder three years 23 million dollars. All right. Um, that is a ton of money to be moved And I think a lot of people are gonna look at Jeremy Grant making 32 million dollars annually for five years when he's already 29 And we're like that's a rough deal for us to make so Jeremy NERC these guys that are there right now. They might be there for a little bit. Um, the Sixers have no Interests and throwing Tavis Maxi into a Damian Lillitrate These are gonna continue to break over the next 24 hours or so when the deal happens, you know I'm be let me know what you think Dane has officially officially requested the train The trip is a man. Jeremy Grant got all of that money just for Dane to say I'm out. It's crazy
