Matters very little when we have mostly rookie/minimum deals to fill the rest of the roster.
Yep. Sharpe/Scoot are the future and will be up for extensions as KAT and Ayton are coming off the books.
 
If Miami wants Dame then they must give us what we want in players, starting with;
Caleb Martin - a solid bench guy
Jovic - sf prospect/talented - 3-4 years out
Jaquez - first round pick - solid defender plays with energy
Herro - another bench guy but someone that can play fast.
Future picks
Picks to free up Bulls pick

Sharpe (and Rupert) will be getting his extension in 2025 when KAT is making 53.2M; Scoot and Murray a year later when KAT is making 57M. And KAT makes 61M the year after. That's getting into 2nd apron territory, especially if all 4 rookies meet potential
 
i so badly wish we had a GM with a spine man. Play hardball now. Take it til October or the deadline. Why do we need to make the move today? What else will Dame do-- he's already requested a deal.
I seriously think we should fire Cronin just to bring in a GM who feels no loyalty to Dame.
 
Pascal Siakam (27)
Desmond Bane (30)
Jordan Poole (28)
Gary Trent Jr. (37)
Anfernee Simons (24)
so?

is your argument that we should trade Dame for 2 or 3 picks in this range and Herro, and it's OK? no shit you can find players later in the draft, but it's less likely they hit. we are trading the best player in our franchise's history-- i want a more definitive probability of landing a player than this pu pu platter.

for fuck's sake Marcus Smart was able to land Boston Porzingis and 2 firsts that will be better than anything Miami can send us.

Sharpe will be on his extension for 3 years before KAT's expires. Scoot for 2 years. When Scoot is on the first year of his extension, KAT and Grant will be making a combined 95M

Sharpes deal will be kicking in in 26-27.

The most ruthless request the Blazers could make, beyond asking for Bam Adebayo or Jimmy Butler (which would be a non-starter)? If Portland insists on Herro, three first-round picks, Martin, Jovic and Jaquez for Lillard, Nurkic and Little. Lowry’s salary would be needed to facilitate that trade from a cap standpoint. In that specific scenario, Miami would be sending out $69.6 million in salary and taking in $68.7 million. So Miami’s payroll next season would be about the same as its current roster, well above the $165 million luxury tax line.

Can we loop them in as a third team?
Presumably they'd want Dame. They have demonstrated an ability to find good-but-not-great players, and it's possible they'd think with Dame and Wemby, they could fill in the rest of the roster nicely. They probably wouldn't give a rat's ass about Herro or that level of player.
 
If you take on an already paid player (A KAT/Ayton) you can kiss a potential plethora of draft picks goodbye.

I realize this is stating the obvious, but definitely something to consider.

That kind of trade should be made to keep Dame, not to get rid of him. And if it otherwise can’t be made then it just kind of goes back to our balls being in a vice grip, because everybody knows our situation and it’s unlikely we will receive any ‘favors’ from other teams.
 
said this a few pages back. reiterated what i've been saying. Ayton and/or KAT would be possible flyers to take on now.

Joe seems to like 25 and younger with upside. It would be amazing if we get Ayton for Nurk and Nas and Keon

Scoot 6'4, Ant 6' 3
Shae 6'6, Tisse 6'5
Kris 6'8, Rayan 6' 7
Jerami 6'8, Jabari 6'9
Ayton 7'0, Badji 7'1

Herro's a guy you acquire to shuffle off somewhere else. He's not experienced enough to be the kind of veteran presence you want and he's taking up minutes from guys with higher upside than him. However, he probably has some value as a trade chip some other team might desire.
 
maybe it's oversight on my part, but i don't see Grant here past next FEB

I would hope

actually my hope is Grant turns into a S&T in the next 5 days....but it's a faint hope

still, you trade salary, you have to take back salary

He doesn't have any incentive to do it though. I don't think you can give a 5th year on a sign and trade. He wanted that 5th year.
 
Shouldn’t every team in the league (aside from Golden State) want Dame?….Including us…

As you know, plenty of people here wanted us to trade Dame this summer. I suspect some of those same people will not be happy with what we get for Dame.

Looks like we'll find out soon.
