This trade gets us for unprotected future firsts. It gives the draft rights to Clowney and Whitehead. I also gives us a chance to try Ben Simmons out at starting C.

This trade gives Brooklyn a rotation of Dame, Bridges, Johnson, DFS, Claxton, Nurk, Dinwiddie, O'Neal and Walker still not having used their MLE which would be the TPMLE but given that roster, you'd have to think they could get someone good with it. They also get to move off of Simmons.

so...you are trading Dame along with, in the case of this trade, the negative value contract of Nurkic (from the Net's POV)....and the Blazers essentially get back 6 first round picks, 4 of them unprotected

never....gonna....happen
 
Brooklyn is the Occam's Razor of trades.

Nurkic goes into the TPE of Brooklyn. Portland receives a $16,875,000 TPE (to go with their $8+ million TPE).
Lillard = Dinwiddie ($20,357,143 expiring contract) + Claxton + Clowney + ask for 3 or 4 picks, get 2+.

In one trade, Blazers reduce the team salary by $29,443421.
If Brooklyn wants to send Royce O'Neal and his expiring $9.5 million to stay away from too much tax, fine.
Blazers get Claxton -- a starting, younger, athletic center (with his Bird Rights for UFA next summer) and a nice rookie PF in Clowney along with picks, TPE, and a lower team salary that is more properly structured moving forward. Nothing comes back that doesn't fit or that isn't gone in a year.

Brooklyn has Nurkic, Simmons, CamJohnson, DFS, Bridges, Lillard -- they become a contender in the East.

[Use of Spotrac salary information and Realgm trade checker. It works.]
 
I would take a flier on Simmons but it doesn’t seem like BKN is into Dame, no rumblings. Simmons is the physical ideal of what the team needs. I think he will be all nba again soon enough.

Brooklyn might be waiting to see what happens with Miami and hoping Dame will want to play for them. I think Brooklyn should want Dame if they can have core of Dame, Bridges and Claxton that's a potent combination in the Eastern Conference. Also, Brooklyn would still have a lot of assets to acquire more talent, and they have the ability to actually entice free agents especially if they add Dame. It really depends on if they want the slow and steady approach or to make a move in the new Parity NBA. I'd make a move if I were them to take advantage of the relative parity. That said, I'm sure my judgement is clouded by what it would mean for us. I feel they are the ideal trade partner for us and I always have. Dame also expressed interest at one point as he is friends with Bridges.
 
Nets GM Sean Marks looked really happy signing Trendon Watford. Setting the stage for stealth tank. I doubt they will go flat earth mode just to dump Ben Simmons on Portland.

Doesn't look like the Nets have control of their own first-round pick until 2028.

Geesh, the Nets can't tank. There goes my theory. Oh well, I guess Brooklyn will be forced to try & play winning basketball. BORING
 
"look at what Brooklyn got for KD"
"look at what Brooklyn got for Irving"
ummm... It looks like the Nets must have had 0 draft assets before those trades, and I highly doubt Brooklyn will trade their entire future just to dump Ben Simmons bad contract on Portland.

We don’t need the picks. Just give us Ben straight up.
 
I'd like it if they took Dame and Nurk. Send us Ben, Whitehead and Clowney and send us all three Suns FRPs. Nurk fits into either of their two giant TPEs, so the trade would work. If they were serious about contending immediately they would send two or three more of their tradeable FRPs to Indy for Buddy Hield.

They end up with a rotation of Dame, Hield, Bridges, Johnson, Claxton, Dinwiddie, DFS, Nurk and O'Neal. That's a contender.

We end up with something like Scoot, Shae, Whitehead, Jerami, Simmons, Ant, Matisse, Clowney, Murray and would probably want to add a young big in free agency.

Wut? I mean is your angle here sticking it to Riley, Goodwin and the Heat Media/Fans? I mean I really want to stick it to the Heat, but not quite that badly. We need Whitehead, Clowney and at least 2 firsts.

I think his angle is making the Blazers competitive. Simmons's contract is no longer bad....if he is on the court.
But you could say that about Dame as well.

A starting lineup of Ant, Sharpe, Grant, Simmons, and Nurk would be interesting to watch IMO. That is 3 solid shooters surrounding Ben. Then you have Scoot coming off the bench with Thybulle, Little, and Walker/Murray

Adding Clowney and/or Whitehead would certainly make it better, but you are not going to get a haul of draft picks plus both of those rookies. If I were Brookylen I sure as hell wouldn't give away my whole future for Dame. I am not sure Brooklyn even wants to move Ben. But if they did I would jump on it. I would settle for Ben, Clowney, and 1 first.

lol,,,so, after weeks talking about how shitty the return for Dame would be in a Miami trade, some of you think Ben Simmons as the centerpiece of a Dame trade is much better?

crazy

Well, there was a 3 minute video of him dining and hitting 3's, so his issues are clearly all resolved now!
