Stephen A. reacts to Damian Lillard's trade request from the Trail Blazers: I am SO PROUD of him! 

Letting go of Max Kellerman and Jalen Rose but keeping Malik’s Andrews is crazy 🤡🤡🤡sad to see ESPN falling off

Even the Blazers and The Fanbase were begging Dame to request that trade because they know the team was doing him no justice

Anytime Stephen A takes time off , something crazy happens in sports and he has to call in 😂

Why does it sound like dame finally broke up with the toxic partner and everyone is happy for him 😂😂😂

Stephen A rubbing his hands like birdman 😂

Dame should've asked for a trade 2-3 years ago

I am blazers fan. It sucks that he is leaving but I am glad he did it. Whatever team he goes to better help him win a ring. sucks its not with portland but he needs to win one.

This is the only guy who I care about hearing talk about Dame finally requesting a trade

Been watching dame since i was a kid he is my favorite player and will remain my favorite player I have been wanting him to get out of Portland and get a ring for 3 years now Portland has nothing left to offer him

“Team hopping” …. “Prioritizing winning” is not the same thing SAS

2:58 Wasted years in Portland? What a lot of people including SAS fail to realize is Dame is now the All-Time Leading scorer for that organization. Thats a HUGE accomplishment that not many get to brag about in this league. No easy feat

the way malikas face changes when she says our friend SAS.

dame about to play for an contender and rise when the light get the brightest?! today is an good day

Runnin from the grind

Hope Damian Lillard will go to a team who wants to win a Championship

The only reason only a few people attacking and trolling dame and the reason this isn't as big a that KD joining the Warriors is just that KD joined a 73-9 team that beat him and won the chip and join them the summer 😂 dame was in a small market too getting waxed for years and they gave him no help I mean no help at all and KD had Russ, Harden, Ibaka

They should spice this nba up by trading coaches and Gms

Let's go!

S.A.S was just dancing wild talking about WE GOING TO THE FINALS, WE GOING TO THE FINALS! never forget

If they can stay with the crew they have and stay healthy. Dame would be a perfect fit in Minnesota or Cleveland honestly lol.

Players want trades they’re hated, they want to stay they’re hated.

The Stephen A clip was phenomenal 😂😂

Malika Andrews destroyed ESPN'S reputation 😢 she should have been fired 🔥🔥

Steven a smith whispering in the ear of Damian Lilliard just like Lucifer whispering in the ear of Eve. As a Portland fan, thanks Steven A.

Philly a dame away from a chip

If I was Boston I would definitely consider trading Jaylen brown for dame 💯

Damian Lillard to Miami Heat 🏀🔥

Dame will playing in a heat with Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo!

Ticket prices should go down at the Moda Center now.

I would love to see Dame W/ Giannis....Would Blazers be interested in Middleton🤔?

The cutout of Stephen A' s portrait looks like it was done by a sophomore in high school.

🤯🤯🤯🤯

I wonder if Toronto could be an option not sure on the Financials. But Dame for Scotty Barnes makes sense Dame gets with OG and Pascal and we get Barnes to ride with Scoot n Shade

Absolutely… MALIKA SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST ONE CANNED

Sixers fan here, I tried ESPN trade machine that did Harden, Springer, and Korkmaz for Lillard, and it worked. Les do that. 😂😂

😳 the TrailBlazers been playing Chess this whole time with my Boy Dame! They really played him if you think about it. Few seasons ago when he signed that contract they promised to build around dame but they actions each year showed they was rebuilding. I think the Blazers set Dame up from the Day he signed that contract. Yes they could have been traded him but instead they signed him to a contract that’s impossible to get out of. They was only waiting on Dame to request the trade instead of them telling him the truth that they never really intended to build around him. So now that Dame got no say so to where to be traded, teams ain’t gotta worry about him leaving after the season right ? The Blazers about to get some great picks and players if they smart. He probably going to Brooklyn. If Dame doesn’t go to the team he deserves then I will resign as a Portland Trail Blazers fan until they get a new Owner smh did my boy dirty

Or send him to OKC with olidipo and holmgren. If those 2 stay healthy with Dame they could be a contender in the next 2 years honestly

Dame's best fit to me is either Milwaukee or Philly he needs to play with a big, so Giannis or Embiid!

We want him in Milwaukee

The younger SAS pic…ok playa

Stephen A: im so proud of him... hope he since with knicks... Knicks: Pass 🤣

Ayo, i heard Stephen a got a country album dropping called “my hairline done moved back to Texas”

Fire Malika. She's an Aunty Tam

I remember when the knicks wanted donovan mitchell for obi topin. Now he's being traded for 2 seconds. My how times have changed.

Reminds me of when Lebron left Cleveland except Dame atleast had some decent rosters

Dame should consider Milwaukee too. Him and Giannis

Now is the time for Boston to cash in and pick JT over JB and trade JB and some picks for Dame that would be massive and a big step to secure that chip

As usual SAS doesn't really care about what's best for Dame; he's just happy that he likely he won't have to travel or care about Portland for the next 3-7 years. Now he'll just move on to the next person he wants to demand a trade.

Steven A is "on crack!" Heat are clear favorites

Should've asked before Houston signed Fred Van Fleet, they got youngins for trade too

I Respect Dame for his loyalty to Portland but its time to put in a hard cap system in the NBA just like the NHL so more teams like Portland, Utah, Minnesota, Charlotte can compete for a title, the list goes on.

The one person they DEFINITELY should of gotten rid of is Stephen A. Smith! There is an old saying, "The loudest man in the room is the weakest man in the room"!

imagine dame in Milwaukee 😮‍💨

I feel like he kinda let down Oregon by not staying for at least 1 more year to see what would happen with the trades.

heard a few trade ideas that include jaylen brown as a 3rd team there is no way boston facilitate and hand Damian Lillard to Miami at the expense of Brown

Lol he just didn’t want to share his light with the Rookies that got a lot of our attention. The front office had solid picks & NO STAR WANTS TO PLAY IN PORTLAND & no ring ever matter because we all know it was about money for Dame which I applaud because everyone in the NBA will not get a ring so at least make your money but let’s be realistic. He’s better off leaving now on his terms then later. Good look going to Miami & I hope him & Jimmy will make it work because Dame clearly doesn’t want to be second to nobody.

Dame should go to Phoenix. LIllard, Durant, Booker would be quite a trio.

Depends on who Miami gives up they could win it all next season

I think Dame should have announced this before the draft because now he just deflated this franchise. He deserves a trade, but they thought he was staying. He said he was.

Dane going to the east for sure

Hey hey hey

Dame might end up in LA, SA, Sixers. We know what he prefers but not what will happen. I still give the odds to the Heat.

Pelicans can offer Brandon Ingram and Multiple, MULTIPLE future 1st round picks for Dame (2024, 2025, 2026 etc) So just imagine being able to put all those draft picks around Brandon Ingram and Scoot Henderson If Portland is serious about rebuilding,.. The Pelicans are one of the best options that nobodys talking about.

Can Lakers make a push for lilard? Can they get christian wood?

Fire Malika Andrew's next!!

Want to see him in Milwaukee with Giannis or Miami but they wont have a bench if he gets traded there.

Those seats look hot! Y’all not fired yet?

Bulls can give Portland demar, pat will and draft picks i think we got a chance to get him💯

How are Malika Andrews and Stephen A Smith still talking into a microphone? You fire people who actually have knowledge and experience, but you help advance people who can barely form a coherent statement like those two disappointments.... Same with Tweedledee and Tweedledum (Van Dundy and Mark Jackson) rambling about their failures as coaches and players all night rather than talk about the basketball game that is going on LIVE. ESPN is the Bryant Reeves of broadcasting for a reason.

Skeleton crew on espn now

I want dame in Miami but if Boston offers up jaylen brown. Dame goes to boston😮

Yeah we got plenty of drama queens in mba

Anytime Stephen A takes time off , something crazy happens in sports and he has to call in DRAMA QUEEN A SMITH

Fire malika

What about dame to the clippers?

Knicks need to go get Demar Derozan or KAT

Still yelling on holiday

I’ll bet he’ll go to Philly as a laker fan

after all these years Dame is finally taking his career seriously

Blazzers could easy avoid this by signing Aldridge back.

Good for Dame - the Blazers disrespected with a young player - they could have traded Scoot for a more seasoned player. SCOOT is an amazing pick. However, Dame needs to be out for sure, 🔥 Miami!

3:34 the agenda by Stephen A is clear... wanting to go to Miami for professional and personal reasons

Remember NYK drafted Obi over Haliburton. 😅😅😅😅

Miami would have to throw in messi as well just to get over the line

Yo this man is in love with Ty Lue

My bucks window 🪟 closing we need a trade

I would absolutely laugh at Stephen A if Dame went to the Spurs because I know for sure he hates them 😂😂

DAME TO MILWAUKEE

He should of went to the Lakers. Him and Lebron would make a great duo. Because deAngelo Russell not going to cut it.

How demeaning & narcissistic. Dame's decision has ZERO to do with SAS's monstrous ego & persistant friction.

He wants the Heat but Heat have the worst assets out of the preferred destinations. This is going to be a long process.

No one really thought NY would beat Miami, only delusional knicks fans thought that.

Dame Time ran out in Portland

Lakers need Damian for a guarantee chip

If u want a ring go to San Antonio

Damian should go to Houston

Watch dame will end up on a team out of nowhere

Why didn’t Malika Andrews get fired as well? She brings nothing to any broadcast not even good eye candy. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I mean, I’m happy that Lillard has a chance to go to a contender, but let’s not pretend that Dame was playing for minimum wage. The Trail Blazers paid this guy hundreds of millions of dollars to play a game, and it’s not like he wasn’t a loved figure in the city, the fans in Portland adored him. Why should anyone be “proud” of a guy who’s made hundreds of millions of dollars and who wants to be traded to a championship contender? He is prioritizing winning now, but he was not in the past, or else he would have demanded a trade years ago and not signed that 2 year, $120 million extension. It will be cool to watch him hopefully play for a contender, but this fawning over athletes like they’re heroes is weird.

Y’all just trick me with Malika being on here, I’m gone! Bye
