That's called "cutting your nose off despite your face." Shroder's a good backup. He's not a lead guard on a team that expects to get beyond the first round of the playoffs. And the Raptors are a team that could sustain giving up a wing.

Edited for reality. Ujiri is Olshey 2.0 in terms of his players value. He thinks they are all worth a fortune, yet they struggled to be .500 last year. Apparently they aren't THAT great.

To me it looked like what he was saying was that what the Heat were offering was a complete joke and should be rejected out of hand.

If it ain't 5 FRP and 2 at a position of need burn it to the ground!!!!

I thought that Dame was wearing the letter O. That means that the number 0 is available!

So you are saying we should sign a series of scrubs to 10-day contracts, and have each of them wear uniform number 0 next year?

I like it.

Joe has never been a GM before. How does he know what he is doing? Because he watched Olshey for a decade? That doesn't make him a knowledgeable GM. Only first hand experience can do that.

First, he does not sit by himself in the basement making decisions. There is a team of people, who bring perspectives from different organizations, and collectively they make a decision that they feel best serves the team.

Second, nobody skips the first time in a position...It's the way it works. But, you can keep digging to find something to blame on one individual in the front office if that brings you joy.
 
Would Dame ask for a trade if we won the Wemby sweepstakes? I mean, he wanted to trade the pick.
 
well...count me on the side of those thinking there are too many Dame-trade threads. 20 threads on page 1 and 15 are Dame-trade threads. And one of the 5 that isn't is kind of a Fire Cronin because Dame want's a trade thread

I can't keep up....of course I'm old and not smart

I don't know where to ask this since there are so many frickin threads, but have Clowney and Whitehead signed their rookie deals with the Nets yet?

I do not believe so. They are still shown as unsigned on FanSpo.

This is a great place for up to date info on that stuff and it's official. It also says that they haven't been signed. I have a hard time believing that Brooklyn wouldn't be interested in Dame and Dame said that would be a good place in the same interview that got all of this Miami shit stirred up. This updates regularly:

It's not just Joe. It's Jody and Vulcan, but I'm done with talking about it. Gonna wait to see what we get for Dame, and be ready to move on.

Like they were talking about this morning on whatever show, you don't sign a 33-year-old point guard who is owed 200mil unless you're absolutely confident he is going to guarantee at a championship. I'm sure they looked at their roster, and what he did for Portland's playoff record and said no thanks.

Honestly, it's the same 10 or so posters here that start these threads over and over again. A few happen to be mods too so... :dunno::dunno::dunno:

You know, I kind of look at the Heat and think the same thing.

Yes, they played for the championship. They also were a play-in team that caught lightning in a bottle and then lost three games in the finals by double digits. Even with Dame, I don't know that they're head and shoulders better than the Bucks, Celtics or Sixers in the East. They lost a good contributor in Strus. Unless Cronin really caves, one would figure they're going to lose at least one other good piece in the Lillard deal along with some depth pieces.

And Dame isn't filling a position for a total stiff. While Lowry's not what he once was and certainly isn't Lillard, he was an all-star just a couple of years ago. He also more than doubles Dame's defensive win shares on a team that D's is up a lot more than the Blazers have.

The trade gives the Heat a lot more star power but its not a move that says to me Miami absolutely becomes the beast of the east.

All thread on page 1 have the word Dame in the title, with the exception of the summer league thread, and the thread about Dame called, "Things you'll miss, thinks you won't".

Let's talk about the players on the team....that want to be here?

It's so hard to know what is true and what isn't.

Obviously, if stuff like this is true, and Ant's value is that low, then you can understand why holding onto him makes some sense. Cronin would've been ripped for that trade by some and certainly would've been ripped if he gave up more. A no win situation.

No one is stopping you from discussing other Blazers players, but you shouldn't ask us to stop discussing the biggest Blazers trade in almost 30 years.

No, I think they are THAT great, but Oops All Forwards! is a dubious strategy. And, it's weird that the Oops All Forwards! Team doesn't want to get together with the Oops All Guards! team.

I think at some point Embid tells PHI to offer up Maxey.
Click to expand...

i really like maxey (more than simons), hes a really good player and hes only 22 years old

that being said, its best to play sharpe at his natural position (sg), but im not gonna lie, id like us to have scoot-maxey-sharpe

also, phila will definitely offer maxey if they can land dame, no doubt about it
