I’m more interested in the Heat package now if it includes Jaime Jaquez Jr… he would be great to add to rotation of young core with Sharpe and Scoot.

It's the best case scenario man. If Dame has to go, that's our best case. There just aren't any teams that make sense.

As you said (and I've been saying), Toronto is the team that makes the most sense. Trent's and Boucher's salaries would need to be included to match, and they'd have to be willing to part with Barnes, the newly-drafted Gradey Dick (I guess... :rolleyes: ), and maybe Achiuwa or Koloko.

Alternatively, the oft-suggested Simons-for-OG swap makes even more sense now for both teams.

Yeah if Toronto isn’t blowing it up, they are the only team I like. Get Barnes and pair him with Scoot and Sharpe.
 
I am going to try and make this clear for even the most dense fan (GB) --- the Heat have next to nothing to offer the Blazers for Dame -- let me repeat this again -- NEXT TO NOTHING !!!

Nets have a boat load of solid players and picks coming out there arse that could be moved for Dame while the Heat have another guard in Tyler Hero ( NO ) and Duncan Robinson ( HELL NO ) and an expiring contract of Kyle Lowey and some 1st's and that's it

These are the two teams Dame has indicated so go look at both teams in a trade machine and then come back to me and HONESTLY tell me the Heat have the best offer cause you cannot -- FACTS

I know I am coming off rude but my patience has run out with certain people on this forum so live with it or report me -- the gloves are coming off with certain people now

what is it about Barnes that people like?

I've watched him play several times and I don't see him doing anything well, except for passing. He's a bad shooter, especially from three; he's not good at defense...I see him beat constantly off the dribble. He's an ok rebounder, I guess, but still only average

I know he's young with upside, but I've seen enough of SF's that can't shoot to not assign them high value. Barnes seems remarkably average to me

Dame's list will be longer than those 2 teams, too. He mentioned Miami and BKN in a very stilted, filtered question. Supposedly he's talked with Cronin about 5 or 6 teams he'd be open to, previously.
 
I noticed Dame didn't tweet anything about the draft. Seems a bit strange to not welcome the new guys but maybe that doesn't happen.
The key thing with trading him is to get young talent back; bigs especially. I think it would have to be a multi-team deal. MIA frps are relatively weak trade fodder IMHO. Same with Herro. No value.

Well.... plainly, he's better than anyone that Brooklyn or Miami have.
 
After the draft what are the chances that Dame is on our team when the season starts? I'd put it at 20%.
 
Mia/Cle/Por 3way

928767D4-D2C5-4B3C-A598-2CD93A5D67BC.jpegMia sends 3 First round picks to Portland.

Allen/Martin would start and are fairly young (25/27) making our Defense MUCH better.

Lowry would be moved or bought out

Grant S@T for an asset

Nurk traded for anything.

They've got Garland and Mitchell there are teams that could probably find value in Herro but Cleveland isn't going to be one of them in my opinion. I also don't want to trade Dame to Miami. They were just in the Finals and while I love Dame I think he should have to go to a team that he said he prefers in Brooklyn, who have a lot more to offer us and would take more work for Dame to win one with.

Don't get me wrong I want to get Dame to a preferred destination but the one that can give us the most.

such nonsense.

for a guy who talks so much about respect and humility, he has taken steps i never expected him to this offseason. definitely left a sour taste in my mouth.

if he wants out, act mature and request it. dude signed a 5 yr supermax last yr. have some respect to the fans at least even if you don't care about the org. we've literally worshipped the guy for a decade.

Highkin is definitely my favorite local reporter. Least colored reported. Some info here:

1.) Dame and his camp were not happy we used the pick.

2.) Pelicans were trying to get Scoot for 14 + picks + Murphy. Highkin specifically mentioned Murphy. That is something I would have considered, but I understand why the FO would not.

He also mentioned that it's a 6 month trade restriction for Dame, so he could be traded today, not July 9th @wizenheimer

What the fuck, what’s nonsense is your take with those other two posters that liked your post.

The man got trolled while being live by the DJ, he had no control of that and that’s why he was laughing about it.

Salty fan you are, after all these years Dame has showed us what he is about, and you just dismiss that because of song that was playing in the background he had no control of.

sad sad take

funny that’s who I wanted with the 23rd pick. When I saw Miami take him I figured he’d be included in any Dame to Miami trade
 
Dame should realize that all of his bitching and moaning about wanting help lowered the value of that pick. Trade for fucking Murphy? Fuck me what deal!

Getting a little frustrated with Dame at the moment.

He should be telling the press how happy he his with the picks and not complaining (even if he feels differently).

I am sure he signed off on Nurk and Ant getting overpaid. Why didnt he put his foot down and tell Joe to let them walk? Surely he could have done that.

His buddy Grant is a 3rd-4th option on a Ring team and that refuses to fucking board. So was that really what Joe should have done? Sign your friend?? Joe, at Dame's behest, will give him a huge deal that is also probably a bad move fit-wise.

This response to the tweet is very odd.

Wrong, even, given Dame had nothing to do with that song being played.

Weird. I swear that I just heard it was a one year restriction from him when he went on RCR.

Dame always preaches he wants to stay here, wants to retire here, etc. Yes he has much pressure on the organization to go get a winning team and rightfully so. But the media is spnning shit man.

In the same interview about Miami being a team he would go to if he was traded, it was a question he was asked. He also said that he wants to stay here and retire a blazer in the same interview, but the media wont show that, they will just edit the Miami clip and get the media drama going, that's what they do best.

So don't be a sucker for the media
