      Broussard should recheck his notes on regional geography. Kawhi Leonard was only out of the US, and not America. Let me remind him that North America includes US, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Greenland, Panama, Pueto Rico, Costa Rica, and others. This is what happens when you add too much embellishments to your analysis.

    The one thing Nick misses is that when a superstar names a team he wants to be traded to there is also pressure on the team requested to make the deal. Once it gets into the local media and talk shows that a superstar wants to be traded to you, you almost HAVE to get it done. That’s one reason they always end up where

    @deets987 Рік тому +25

    I feel like everyone is missing the main point of the "give the superstar what he wants" idea. I'm really not sure why nobody is making the argument for Portlands behalf.
    It has nothing to do with Dame. I don't expect an organization to cripple themselves just to be nice or respectful to a good person. That's not how business works. It is about future acquisitions though. Especially if you're somewhere like Portland (no offence to the area, it actually seems nice but players never seem too interested in playing there for whatever reason). If you rebuild back into a competitive situation and need a star piece from free agency to make a run, the last thing you want that star to think about is how poorly you treated the last guy when he wanted out.
    Yes, they'll give Dame what he wants, but because even if it isn't the best offer, it's the best business decision. Not to mention a huge negative fanbase outcry for a beloved idol.

    • @xcwilliams7980
      @xcwilliams7980 Рік тому +11

      Correct. Because if you do "bad" by Dame. Then why would another star want to go there. It's Portland.

    • @Kevinschart
      @Kevinschart Рік тому +5

      Agreed. There's pure business and then there's the soft side of it. There is some merit to an organization needing to show that it's "friendly" to superstars. But that only goes to a certain point. They are running a business. You don't give your assets away for less than fair value. The fact is that everyone at the trailblazers will be impacted by this. There's some accountant that won't get a raise if Dame leaves because the tickets sales will plummet. There's a hot dog vendor who will lose his job because the stadium will be empty. It's not ALL about Dame.

      He's already sacrificed his time, health and showed his loyalty to the organisation, and they've completely failed him for like 8 years. At the very least he should be able to go and compete where he wants to, Portland would've been nothing without him and they took him for granted.

      @@TrueGuardifyYou pay no attention to basketball or business with this comment. Dame signed a deal to be in Portland with no gun to his head. A deal that impacted portlands ability to grow. They also had very good teams during his tenure as a blazer. Portland wants the kings playbook and has been showing it to Dame for years. Bru is correct.

      That’s irrelevant. Portland gonna rebuild and possibly tank this season regardless if they have dame or not. Having draft picks should be way more important than getting a young star (which you already have) because you’re in rebuilding phase. And the funny thing is, portland ain’t winning anything even if they got the “best” deal they want 😂

    The problem with the KD comparison is that when he initially asked for the trade the Nets didn’t oblige and they forced him to stay. The only reason they ended up trading him to Phoenix is because Kyrie getting traded took them out of contention so it was in Brooklyn’s best interest to rebuild. The Suns new ownership basically forced James Jones’ hand to trade almost all their assets for him and they ended up getting a great return for him.

    I agree. For an organization like Portland it’s going to be difficult winning a championship for the foreseeable future. They don’t get free agents, but they also don’t take risk. When I look at the Mavericks, they’re a team that doesn’t get free agents either. However they took a risk to get Kyrie, in hopes of making Luka happy. This is important to note because Scoot is looking like the future of Portland. If he turns into a superstar he may not be as loyal as Dame. Especially if he sees the franchise isn’t willing to go all out to build a winner around him.
