Trade Idea Dame Trade Ideas

[Rastapopoulos]

A while back (before the lottery, obvs) I said that the only way we should keep Dame is if we got Wemby. Well, with the idea that a Wemby-Dame pairing instantly makes you a contender, how about this?



Why would San Antonio do it? Because (a) they have a history of poaching our franchise players, (b) Dame is actually the kind of person their FO would absolutely love, (c) they've also got a history of pairing great players at least a decade apart and getting a championship out of it (see Robinson and Duncan), (d) they also have a history of rebuilding around a young star on the fly, and wouldn't be afraid of the After Dame times, and (e) Pop's not getting any younger - they would like to contend ASAP.

The biggest barrier is probably that they really like Sochan. But so do I, so I want us to get him. He plugs multiple gaps in our lineup at once. And hey, the Spurs can probably get Grant when they get Dame, because we won't need him once Dame goes (or we can bundle him with Dame)

Some guy from Bleacher Report dreamed this up, have no idea if already posted.

1. 
   Brooklyn Nets Receive: Damian Lillard and two 2024 second-round picks from the San Antonio Spurs
   
   Portland Trail Blazers Receive: Doug McDermott, Cam Thomas, Day'Ron Sharpe, a 2025 first-round pick from Brooklyn (via Phoenix), a 2027 first-round pick from Brooklyn (via Philadelphia), a 2028 first-round pick from Brooklyn and a 2029 first-round pick from Brooklyn (via Dallas)

So I'm curious..... we just assume that we want to move Herro if the Heat trade happens.

Who would you rather have, Simons or Herro? Obviously one of them would have to go.

Maybe it depends who the TWolves would prefer…Simons+ for Kat or Hero + for Kat?

Simons

Simons is cheaper and although not really a PG, he can fill in.
Herro is all SG.....and has a negative wing span for his height (6'3") I don't want him at all

If there's a more punchable face in the league than Herro's then I don't know it.

 

[Whyachi]

old man knees Klay Thompson? Add in some young Warriors & picks, how many games could a Steph/Dame backcourt win ??

Dame for KAT according to Bill Simmons

 

[KingSpeed]

If Dame is being moved, bring him to NYC!! Subway down the street from me goes right to Barclays Center.

 

[cheesehoff]

Dame for KAT according to Bill Simmons

Please God, no!

 

[LayneStaley]

Grayson Allen

Dame for KAT according to Bill Simmons

No way we do Dame that way.

 

[robson]

(lost my password again)

Since Utah have Collins, could we get Markanen+ from Utah?
Utah is one of the obvious destinations for Dame and Ainge has more balls than Cronin to built around Dame. How does Utah looks with chances to land him and contend?

 

[SharpesTriumph]

If it does end up being Miami, I want them to send Herro and his contract elsewhere for either picks or youngins. 0 need to add another no defense guard to this roster, especially one with his contract.

I'd rather have Lowry and Oladipo expirings.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

If it’s going to happen that Dame wants a trade, I think this would make some sense:

A couple of future firsts from Toronto, maybe a couple of pick swaps. Waive Porter and Flynn.

Let them keep OG but give us Barnes and one less swap.

 

[e_blazer]

Yeah, works for me, but good luck with that.

Get Lowry expiring instead of Herro overpaid deal.

 

[Natebishop3]

Chad and Dwight think NY makes sense.

They certainly have a lot of picks. I wonder if we could send Brunson somewhere else.

 

[andalusian]

NYC loves Brunson (As in the city, the people). Going to be super hard for the Knicks to send him out after 1 year.

 

[LayneStaley]

No way in hell I’m sending him to the Knicks, and it’s 100% because of Steven A Wad.

Stephen A would personally drive him to the airport.

Look. At. All. Those. Picks.

Franz and 6 1s from 3 shitty teams would be amazing. I’m not sure Cronin can pull that off.

If it's even 4 of those ones I would be happy. But I would think that Brunson would have way more value than Tyler freakin Herro.

why in hell would Portland Trade for KAT after trading Dame? geeeeezuzzz

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

How many picks does Utah have?

 

[andalusian]

Stephen A would personally drive him to the airport.

As a former New Yorker, I can assure you that New Yorkers do not believe Stephen A is their representative.

 

[LayneStaley]

If it really is Miami they are taking our junk too, Nurk is going with him.

 

[lamlor]

Use either Grant S&T or Simons to get a starting C. This would be a rebrand (and yes a risk), but a chance to win now if things went right and no harm to rebuild if things go wrong. Use picks to even whatever needs evened out.

 

[DDolla]

Dame ask for a Trade yet?
