Meh

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I'm all in favor of trading Dame, but there is literally nothing in the overlap between "stuff we'd want" and "stuff Miami is prepared to give up".

If the trade was Dame for Erik Spoelstra I would be all over that in a second.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Get the fuck out of here with that Tyler Herro shit. I would pay NOT to get him in a trade.

Herro AND Zeller

Miami can be as interested in Dame as they want but there are going to be a lot of teams interested in Dame if we put him on the block. Even right now the other team that is supposed to be all about Dame before we even know what Dame is going to do (Brooklyn) has a ton more to offer than Miami does

 

[BigGameDamian]

Haynes is full of shit. Fuck him! One minute you like him the next you don’t.

 

[Gronk_Brady]

Herro/Jovic/1RPs

Meh

I do it if it meant we weren’t gonna trade away the 3rd pick.

Haynes reporting it doesn't make me mad at him. Miami wanted him putting that out there so he did and now they look like fucking clowns. They better have a third team that wants Kyle Lowry really really bad for some dumbass reason because they can't keep his contract and Dame's and we sure as shit won't be taking him. They just have no logical course to getting Dame. I have no problem with Haynes letting them out themselves as fools.

Herro AND Zeller

Ooh, tempting!

 

[Whyachi]

I'm about to bust out Vice City on the PlayStation, easily the best Miami game on the market.

This is a genuine consideration. Although once the player we pick at #3 turns out to be a huge disappointment, we'll look back and laugh hollowly.

Herro AND Zeller

don't forget Duncan Robinson. That dude is like 6'8" and Coach Billups could run him as small ball Center.

 

[Gronk_Brady]

I think the greater probability is that trading third pick for a non superstar, hoping Dame stays healthy from 33-36 years old, and a bunch of new teammates being able to gel enough to compete in such a small window of time is much more likely to disappoint

I think he'd be rerouted to a 3rd team for a pick and a player.

 

[Tince]

I would hope so.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Tbh this is probably tampering

[Mediocre Man]

As a pro Dame trade guy, Miami just doesn’t have the assets. Would need to be a ménage a trade. Martin and Jovic is about 31 mil short and the only assets I’d remotely be interest in

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Here's hoping Miami's interest makes Brooklyn offer ALL the picks. And Dame has made no secret of his friendship with Bridges...

OK, I admit 11 1st round picks are a good start.

 

[tykendo]

Start with the acquisition of the Miami Dolphins 1st for Dame, then we'll talk about future assets.

I think the biggest asset you gain in trading Dame is the one we already have… the 3rd pick. I’m ok trading him to team he wants to play on for slightly lesser package.

 

[glazeduck]

Dame obviously have a ton of amassed goodwill, but I don't see any way we send him to one of the 2 preferred destinations over the other, purely *because*, especially when the offer is so much worse...

The deed to FloriDUH as another asset.

 

[tykendo]

I soon as we acquire the Dolphins and deed to the state, we can then have the rights to Disney World. Trade gets better every minute.

 

[Mr. Robot]

its fully understandable that the trail blazers would be willing to send dame lillard to his preferred destination, but if the offer is trash, you just have to say no (im sorry dame, but the team always comes first)

He played with an extremely hurt Lillard on the Olympic team. Draymond Green said he could hardly move on many of the days due to the deterioration of that core.

You do understand we will keep the pick if we want. Dame is not demanding we trade it. There has been no indication that we are shopping it for anyone that is not really good. No reason to take back a lesser package.
