Move Dame now?

[BoomChakaLaka]

Why are we discussing them at all? We should only deal in realism, not speculation. That's EXACTLY what forums are for. Only talk about things that have happened so we don't speculate or create rumors

LOL - ya, I kinda blew that formatting eh?!

@BoomChakaLaka We're actually both big boys. 6'5 and 6'6. So shhhhhhhhh.

Wow, what a quality addition to the thread.

Have fun guys! If Dame were to be traded I truly hope we get something huge in return! And if we are not going to help the guy out and bring in a new GM that can salvage this mess, let the poor guy go!

I respect Dame. From what us fans know (not much of course) he appears to be such a high-character, stand-up and driven young man. As I stated, he’s one of my top three Blazers of all time. BUT I WOULD TRADE HIM IF IT MEANT WE COULD RETOOL THIS MESS AND HEAD TOWARD A TROPHY! For me anyway, it’s all about wanting another trophy in Poertland.

There's no trade that's realistic and worth it, so lets close this thread. Trading Dame isn't going to get us closer to another trophy.

So nah... I want to win one with Dame over anyone else.

Whatever you say rook. I’m working on a new trade scenario...this time trading for a package including the Sixers starting five.... lol

I've spent 10x as much time on this forum than you have, took.

Might be more realistic than the one you posted, so keep trying. Maybe one day you'll get there!

I have spent time here daily for ten years - I just don’t post (in your instance “bash”) that often - so your “I’ve spent 10x as much.......” is unfounded. I’ll say this much, this forum is not what it used to be. Way too many tools and too many homers.

Lmao. I posted my final opinion on this crap, which wasn't even offensive, and you call me rook with some passive aggressive shot that made no sense, and then when I give you crap back about the "rook" thing, I'm bashing you? Lmao.

The only thing being bashed is this thread. Maybe dont title somethinge with "Move Dame Now" add post a trade idea that is so unrealistic that it's dumb to even think about. Especially when we have a "trade idea" thread. And then call people homers for not entertaining something that's far past "outlandish". This forum is great. If its full of tools and homers and it sucks now, then why are you still here?

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

Would Hall of Famer Charles Barkley for Jeff Hornacek, Tim Perry and Andrew Lang be more like example 2? Cause that crazy trade really happened. Kareem, Russell, Wilt were all lopsided trades

Maybe you could write up some rules on what we should and should not discuss, and why.

This is a supposed to be a place that invites thought, opinion and a forum to share and interact with other basketball fans. Important to remember also that “fan” is short for fanatic!

Help! He’s Jones’n again!

The “trade ideas thread” on page 2 or 3....haven’t even seen that one in a while. Oh wait! You started this one! And opened with a homer trade proposal - yes, I now recall.

Well it's also important to note that if you say something stupid you get called out on it, just like you did with Bones above. Your trade proposal is pointless to discuss because Boston would never even consider doing it. Why not come up with some actual Dame trades that are realistic if you want to have a thoughtful discussion?

Dame to Phoenix for Knight, Chandler, and the #1. Discuss!!

You go with Ayton or Doncic?
Also if you trade Dame you might as well trade CJ cause I don’t believe CJ is good enough to carry a team basically by himself with a bunch of young guys.

Agreed. CJ to Memphis for Parsons and #4! Then Harkless/Aminu to NY for Noah & #9!!

 

[Hoopguru]

Then how long would it take for the Blazers to win 48 games? 3-4 years?

If I'm trading Dame or CJ it best be for already proven youngsters on the rise or really superb vets that could offer some balance.

I agree with Dame if he’s traded you’re basically shutting down shop for a while. I Think CJ is good but depending on the trade, the Blazers could probably gethis production somewhere else.

Theoretically, if Dame is traded, it's based on a desire to reach a significantly higher threshold than 48 wins, and the (likely flawed) belief that a team centered on him would have too low a ceiling, whereas a team built around (for example) Doncic (#1), Bagley (#4), Bridges (#9), and Collins would be able to reach significantly greater heights as they develop together.

I'm not saying that the troika of deals necessary to pursue that path are either realistic or desirable; simply explaining the thought process that could lead to them.

 

[hoopsjock]

Yup!
Although assuming Ayton goes #1 I'd trade Dame for #2 instead (I don't really want to trade Dame, just playing along) and some other pieces such as Hield, Fox, Skal, etc.

#2 Doncic
#4 Bamba
#9 Mikal Bridges

Add in Collins and that is a damn good start of a roster.

I loved BRoy and certainly Dame is one of my all time favourite Blazers. The name of the game however is a trophy. We won in 1977 - that’s a LONG time ago! I want to see another trophy in Portland in my days.

Trade Dame while he is elite. Get back a blockbuster package for him that provides us with pieces that fit now, chips to trade in one year and draft picks.

The Celtics are the best fit as I see it. Imagine the Celtics with the addition of Dame!

Dame and Leonard (get rid of one of our bad contracts)

To Boston

Irving
Morris
Brown
and the Memphis pick 2019 #1

—————
If Irving returns healthy, with McCollum / Brown at SG...that’s a nice back court

Morris at PF helps fill the void left by Ed Davis’ departure.

Re-Sign Nurk and do what we can to re-sign Napier to back up Irving

And we most likely will have a top 3 pick in the 2019 draft with that Memphis pick we acquire from Boston.

All but Morris would be under contract through 2020!

Can we get anything better for Dame? Does Boston make such a blockbuster trade for Dame - you bet! Boston still has the Kings’ 2019 #1 pick.

Lillard's value will never be higher and that's why we should trade him now. I'd prefer someone in their late 30s with lots of experience and make it a bench player who's head is not swollen. My God, the brilliance of it.

I think Vince is a little too good for this type of brilliance, even at his ripe old age.
