Remember when Dame talked about how loyal he was when other players were demanding trades? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

And I feel like that was this year, too, right? Like six months ago-ish.

Even Kevin Durant had more than 1 team on his list when he asked for a trade. You can’t take a contract offer like Portland gave, and then demand to go to one place, and have fans be sympathetic for you

Great way to ruin your reputation as a player 😐

Kyrie is the only person to actually sit out and give up money. I’d like to see how long it takes before Dame reports when he loses out on 50 mil. All talk to try and force a trade to Miami.

Didn’t Ben Simmons sit out? He at least lost money.

He ended up getting it back for the most part. I believe it was part of the trade or under the guise of mental health. Unless I’m misremembering.

The 2 sides settled & details were not released. But the point is, he sat out with the very real possibility of not making any money.

In the end I think he got it using NBAPA lawyers.

Remember that time I returned your lawn mower? Now it’s time for you to do ME a favour.

Kyrie level entitlement if true.
