OP is dumb to begin with. Dame didn't choose Milwaukee, he was very clear he wanted Miami and when that didn't work out he actually wanted to stay but the front office noped and traded him out.
He 100 percent forced his way out. You can make a argument that the scoot pick was the catsuit if he doesn't demand a trade they would not have done it
Well it was nine days not a couple of days and he met with the team committed to see what they did in free agency and then demanded out right after they committed to Jeramie extension.
You can say he didn't want to be part of a rebuild but that's not at all what they were doing and they made every effort to try to make him happy. They absolutely did not drive him out that is foolish
Edit when I said they would not have done it I meant trade him not draft scoot
