Trade Dame to Milwaukee

[BassPlaya]

Anymore max contracts to clean out? (looks around and exhales)

f COURSE Dame gets traded when I'm on a plane. Been on the phone constantly since landing. Good chance this deal gets a little bigger before it is finalized.

Everyone in the East suddenly fighting for 2nd place.

And fighting for Jrue!!

You expect Milwaukee to be dominant in 28 and 30?

Nobody will beat the 3528 or 3530 Milwaukee Bucks.

Not with Blorg the Overlord on their roster.

Good thing Denny defragged the site last week. Can you imagine how many of our heads would be exploding trying to refresh the past couple hours?

Yes I can imagine that. Good job Denny.

We created the disease just to sell the cure. Love it.

It's a genius move whether it's just luck or not.
I haven't ever seen someone propose a trade that will make your return assets worth more because of the initial trade.

Eddie Johnson works for the Suns. He has been pretty complimentary of both Ayton and Camara.
He also loves how Joe waited and waited....for someone to feel pressure to make a trade. And that break was Giannis speaking out about possibly leaving.

 

[Strenuus]

in 2030, when the Blazers have an unprotected swap with the Bucks, Dame will be 40; Giannis will turn 36; Middleton will be 41; Lopez will be 42; Connaughton will be 38; Ingles will be 43; Portis will be 35

Sharpe will be 27; Scoot will be 26; Ant will be 30; Ayton will be 31

both teams will be dramatically different. Yeah, the swap might not be worth much; but it might be worth a lot

Honestly, those are gambles worth taking. you cant be mad about those picks at all.

 

[Strenuus]

Guys, Im feeling really strange...

I have hope.

 

[BBert]

So...Dame and Giannis planned the long con all along!

Bwahaha (wrings hands)

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

This will be Little’s first healthy season.

dunno if he finally puts it all together but I bet he does (simply because that’d be Portland’s luck).

Take two aspirin. It will pass.

I'd be so happy for him if he does.

Butler may not be playing around and if the bucks have been involved in trade negotiations regarding Holiday to Miami then this might get spicy.

We would have to be the team to pursue tampering with Dame while he was our player. We're allowed to give other teams permission to talk to our player. I don't think Miami can even go to the league with this as anything more than whining.

by my math, the Blazers fell about 700K short of getting a TPE equal to Nurk's contract: 16.87M

but maybe, somehow, in a multi-team deal they can still get it. If nothing else they should get a 9M TPE. And they still might expand or add another TPE with a Holiday trade

Granted I didnt listen to the song, but the title is kinda coincidental and I dont believe in coincidences much lol.

A classic example of "An expectation is a resentment waiting to happen"

Go fuck yourselves, we werent the ones with the shitty fucking offer.

It addresses this, he addresses what sounds like his now dissolved marriage and he ends the song talking about us the fans here in Portland and how he hopes we know that he loves us and hopes we can greet him with love whenever we see him. I thought the ending was cool.

Here it is on YouTube

LOL

Jimmy who??????

[e_blazer]

LOL

That's hilarious. Did Jimmy think the Heat had Dame under contract at some point? Not sure how the Blazers, who actually have Dame under contract, talking to other GMs is somehow tampering.

 

[Natebishop3]

I love this guy.

Good luck with those prayers. I guess that's what you do when you can't make a deal with Trader Joe®.

 

[BBert]

… Oh, you wired me awake
And hit me with a hand of broken nails
Yeah, you tied my lead and pulled my chain
To watch my blood begin to boil
… But I'm gonna drink, I'm gonna drink your
I'm gonna drink your salty tears and run
… Yeah, I'm gonna drink, I'm gonna drink your
I'm gonna drink your salty tears and run

28, 29 and 30 picks are all potentially lotto picks.

Not necessarily likely, but possible. Giannis will be 33, 34 and 35 (years 15, 16 and 17). Still young enough to be competitive, but at the tail end of his career. But who knows what will happen between then and now. And honestly, Milwaukee is a harder location to build up than something like Miami.

Dame will be retired by then (or more likely, not on the Bucks anymore), and either an aging Giannis or even maybe no longer on the Bucks Giannis, it could lead to decent picks for Portland.

And hopefully in 4, 5 and 6 years, Scoot and Shaedon will be hitting their strides at 23/24, 24/25 and 25/26.

Are the swap picks also unprotected, or just the 29 pick?
