Point is, the hold up is Giannis, not the deal itself.

Could be both.

Sam Quinn still lists Portland as a sleeper team.

If we are not going for Giannis, who is available this summer to make us contender next year? I assume push the chips territory is within18 months

Lots of rumblings that he wouldn't be interested in signing an extension in Portland, and if that's the case, he can choke on a bag of pretzels.

You gotta move Grant for someone more consistent. A more reliable backup for Clingan would be nice. We've already given Deni a backup to lighten his minutes load.

We don't have prime Dame to push the chips in for. We should be building a team around Deni and whoever else we think has their best ball in front of them.

True. Would be nice to see Dame win a ring or two in a blazers uniform even if he's not the best player on the team anymore but a contributor ala Jason Kid in 2011

All the reasons Giannis said are personal. Basketball-wise, why wouldn't he want to team up with Jrue and Dame?

Dame Jrue Deni Giannis Clingan

Dame is the only bad defender, Giannis and Clingan are not long distance threat. Not perfect but best team we have on paper.

Random thoughts:

Maybe Joe wants to see how Dame plays post injury before deciding on making big moves?

You'd imagine a Giannis trade would have to have a blessing from Dundon?

I have a feeling we will be involved in a Giannis trade if it happens by Thursday. Either he goes to us or Naz and/or McDaniels goes to us and Milwaukee gets Grant and picks and Minny gets Giannis

Fuck it. Let’s get Towns. Dude’s an All Star big. Better than Clingan.
