I either read it a few days back or they mentioned it on the radio, but…. i want to make it clear, im not for trading Dame, but if we did, how about to charlotte for the #2? Scoot/Sharpe/Miller would be a hell of a start to a rebuild. Trade ant/nurk and 23 for Allen Scoot Sharpe Miller Grant Allen is not a bad core to start over with at all. Three starters on rookie deals would leave massive flexibility for the future, no?
Yes, that is a problem for the pro-trade Dame theory. Not just because Dame would not want to go to teams without a "puncher's chance" but also because those teams would not even want him and his salary. We need a young stud in return. We don't need a bunch of them but we do need one plus the picks. An SGA-type player (before he blossomed)
Here are the teams who potentially have the talent to be a contender while also having a young player that we might want: Toronto - Scottie Barnes Magic - Wagner Pelicans - Daniels/Herb/Murphy Thunder - Chet I don't think any of those teams would be on Dame's list. So that leaves teams like Miami, Boston, Brooklyn, Knicks, Sixers, maaaaaaybe the Raptors. I would really be trying to convince the Raptors to do a deal, if Dame would do it. Of those teams, Brooklyn has a lot of assets. They don't have a young stud though. Sixers have Maxie but I don't really like that. Knicks have some young guys but I'm not convinced they're really a good team. My dream team is Oklahoma. They have the picks. They have a ton of young players. I just don't think it will happen..... but I can dream.
I don't think Grant re-signs here if we don't have Dame. I wouldn't want to re-sign him either. By the way if Ant or Nurk and 23 gets us Jarrett Allen we need to get that done right now.
I really think Brooklyn is where Dame will get traded if that's what sadly ends up happening. Dame and Nurk for Claxton, Dinwiddie, Harris and picks and picks and picks.
It's the best case scenario man. If Dame has to go, that's our best case. There just aren't any teams that make sense.
I think we would and he would want us to because the money he wants isn't really out there on teams where he would want to go.
The Cavaliers are receiving trade inquiries and offers for center Jarrett Allen, but have rebuffed those overtures, according to Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com, who reports that the Mavericks are among the teams that have reached out to Cleveland about Allen. As Fedor notes (via Twitter), the Cavs are scouring the trade market for a two-way wing and don’t have a ton of assets to offer for one without including a core player like Allen, but they don’t appear inclined to go that route at this point."
If you think that is garbage that is prolly the best offer that can be had they only get worse from there so IF your on the Trade Dame train and you do not like that here is a dose of reality you need Hell in the trade package I came up with I did not even include Clax cause I figured they would want to keep him for a championship run with Dame
Its 4pm. Without diving into my memory im pretty sure this os going to be the longest hour of my life. I better log off for a bit before i melt down again. Lol. No news just makes time last linger and frustrations increase!
If this leads to Dame being traded be prepared for an epic meltdown at that point -- I have been around awhile starting on O-Live and I have chilled a lot since those days but IF Dame wants out -- find a fallout shelter cause you will need it -- I am being dead serious too.
