Just saw free agent bigs list and Noah Vonleh was on there...he's only 25 years old...also Skal Labissiere is a free agent, I think Moses Brown, Kyle Alexander...those are your cheap bigs on the market.

Vonleh is going to be 28 and Kyle Alexander has played all of 2 games in his career (2020). I sure hope we can get more than any of those dudes.

Is your list from 2019?

Vonleh turns 28 in a few weeks.

You think they want Dame that badly? Badly enough to mortgage their future?

Dame is going to learn a helluva lesson about his value when he shows up here at training camp

Yeah….. I thought Dame was worth a lot more than it seems he is worth. I have listened to a lot of national guys and none of them really think he’s worth a haul. The Miami package isn’t great but there’s just not many teams out there that realistically fit for him. If he was 31 the story would be different. We should have traded him two years ago.

like I said, it’s a bad deal now or a worse deal later. If I’m Cronin I pull the trigger the day before camp and just take the loss.

Yup. His value will only continue to go down. And if he gets injured we are fucked.

Oh he won’t play for us again. It’d hurt his value. I think both Cronin and Dame would agree there.

And I don’t think the Miami deal is a loss for us, because having a definitive direction as a franchise has its own value that can’t be measured. Kind of like letting your ex get a sweet deal in the divorce. They feel like they got a good deal but freedom wasn’t in her side of the equation like it was for you.
 
Funny seeing the people who hated Olshey not trading Aldridge before he walked are some of the same people saying we should take back garbage from Miami.

Like Aldridge leaving for nothing, getting nothing of significant value for Dame might very well hinder the prospective success that Scoot/Shaedon can have.

it’s nerf or nothing. Nobody is going to give us a better offer for Dame so what do you propose? Keep him? Just… get nothing back?

Aldridge walking for nothing = zero value.

Trading Dame to Miami = at least some picks and some young players.

The situations are not at all the same.

Yeah, we have Dame under contract for the next four seasons. With that said, Dame is by far a bigger star than LaMarcus ever was so he'll likely get his way.

If the Heat can find a team that will give up an unprotected first and expirings for Herro, if they will send us Jaquez, Jovic, Orlando Robinson, Lowry and their unprotected firsts in 2024, 28 and 30 for Dame and Nurk. Then I think we should make that deal. Three prospects, four unprotected first round picks and expiring contracts that can teach our rookies the ropes seems like enough for me.
 
I don't know what is going on with some people's thinking.

Dame just finished a fantastic season. Scoot Henderson is ready to win now, not 3-4 years from now.

If the Blazers can't get good value in a trade, Dame is under contract for three more seasons. It's entirely fair to have him play those seasons in Portland on a team trying to win every single game.
