Dame asks for trade (And there it is) (5 Viewers)

Welcome to our community

Be a part of something great, join today!

Scoot, Simons, Sharpe, and Herro would obviously be too many guards. I am sure no one expects great things next year anyways, if the trade did go down with Tyler coming to Portland, maybe we let Simons and Herro audition for a year. See who to keep and who to trade.

Much like if we kept Dame, Sharpe would have to play SF for a while. The defense and rebounding would be horrible but offensively they might be fun to watch. Although I would bet some sort of trade would occur before the season starts.

If we end up with JJjr and Murray and Little and Rupert and Thybulle.....that is too many backup SFs. Add 1 or 2 of them along with Herro for a starting forward?
 
I wonder how much Embiid is messing with the market.

I think it's crazy how Philly isn't going hard after Dame to keep Embiid happy.
you're absolutely right. Blazers will look good with James Harden & Philly draft picks.
 
Marang said that the word around Vegas was that Jarrett Allen is gettable. He thinks that Allen would be intriguing if the Cavs could be worked into the deal.
I love me some Danny Marang, but it wouldn't surprise me if this is a case of a rumor being repeated after it's run its course. I remember hearing that rumor before the draft, specifically that they were interested in trading him for a good wing. The Cavs did get Max Strus in free agency. Not that he's the missing p8ece thats gonna win them a championship, but he may give them the depth they needed such that they're no longer interested in trading a big man for a wing.

would you trade Scoot and 1st rounders for Embiid and keep Dame? I’m going to have to be honest I’d have to seriously consider it. Tough because I’m excited for the Scoot/Sharpe and even Simons era

Dame, Embiid and Grant is nice start to championship contending team.

Just to match his salary you would need a lot more than Scoot. Probably Scoot, Simons, and Nurk. Plus picks.

What assets do they have available?
Harden -> Do not want.
Maxey -> Don't need a PG
Tobias Harris? -> Decent 'filler' but not as the primary value
Picks -> They only have 1 pick that they can trade ('29 or '30) - as the '25 is going to OKC and the '27 is going to Brooklyn (there are protections on both of these which may make it slip to the '26 and '28 picks).

They need to convert Harden and Maxey into capital that they could send for Dame.
 
I was just playing with the trade machine:


How about this:

Clippers give up 2 picks & a swap
76'rs give up 1 pick & a swap

Portland has Maxey that they can flip to the highest bidder.
Harris & Grant would make the best pair of forwards Portland has had in 10+ years.


Or here is a slightly more simple trade version.

yeah only said Scoot because he’d be the piece that would bother me the most to lose. You didn’t answer the question would you make the trade?

Everything changes at that point. Maybe not this year, but next

IF the trade was….for salary purposes

Scoot
Sharpe
Ant
Nurk
Multiple first rounders

for

Embid

Dame
Thybulle
Nas
Grant
Embid

with a bunch of youth is a playoff team, but not a championship team. The good news is with that core, vet min guys would want to come next offseason and that team would have a good shot
 
^stirs the pot and then complains about people who stir the pot.
Nope. Honest question. People here post random no name people’s opinions on this situation for god know what reason….. just asking if other forums post random no name people from THIS forum is all.
