I’d rather them just make the pick than make a meh trade with the #3 pick. The latter is what I’m most worried about. And up until Friday I was pretty sure Toronto was out of the mix. If we do anything with them it’s bad news—never deal with a bad faith negotiator…
 
The thing is this

1/2 of this forum will be depressed if Dame is traded and 1/2 of this forum will be depressed if we build around him because of his age….unless we land a young star

So a lot of people will hate this off-season

And I think 100% of us are tired of seeing inaction.

Even though the Sun's potentially screwed themselves over.
 
The constant Dame banter is what's most annoying. And his mouthpiece in Haynes is who is driving it.

It's funny that Jones is so self-unaware when he chides people for getting in their feels.

That they do. and honestly, they need more role players and less "I need the ball" players. I suspect they're trying their best to trade Ayton asap, otherwise they're pretty much stuck with him.

I enjoy Jones, and I enjoy Frentress and I enjoy Dwight...until they get into their character mode. When they do that, they stick to their guns or act smug or are just crotchety old farts.

Simons, Little and Johnson
For
Ayton and a pick

Then 3 for Siakam

That helps Phoenix
That helps Toronto
That helps the build around Dame crowd
That helps the trade Dame crowd say “I told you so”

If you’re keeping score at home, that’s a win, win, win , win scenario

Jones isn't media but he certainly acts like it. But he has to understand that if there isn't a tweet from Haynes every other day about Dame trades, or Dame himself isn't out on a random podcast acknowledging other teams he'd like to play for, people would be geneally excited instead of tense and depressed.

Like, come on. Dude signed a supermax extension less than a yr ago and is on lock for 5 more years. If you wanted to act like a free agent, don't sign the extension. Sit back and let Cronin do his job. I'm certainly no Joe fan, but I feel like his work is getting unfairly scrutinized because of Dame and his mouthpieces.
 
I just want draft night over with,let the pieces fall where they may.Regardless,I will be rooting for whoever is wearing the red and black come this Fall,Dame or no Dame.
 
I could see joe doing something really stupid with the pick to make dame happy.
 
A motto I try to live by is that it makes no sense to be depressed or upset about things that are out of my control. Not saying it will work for everyone, but it really makes my life a lot easier to live. Shit is going to happen. It's a statistical fact. I stress about the shit I can plan for, I do not about stuff I can't control.

That will be $300, please update the front desk if you need to reschedule your next appointment.
 
More than anything it feels like whatever happens, it won't be that great next season. If we trade the pick for a veteran, the most likely outcome is a first round exist. If we use the pick we're likely to miss the playoffs and tank again.

It depends on what we do. I think no matter what, we are making a trade this summer. I think Simons is gone. Maybe Nurk too. I wouldn't be surprised if we go get Ayton. I'm not really happy about it but it makes a lot of sense for Phoenix.

Dame
Sharpe
Miller
Grant
Ayton

That should, in theory, be a better team. Use our MLE to get another rotation player. Again, not saying I love the idea of Ayton but it just feels like the kind of trade that we will fall back on if nothing else can get done.

Most draft nights this place is a shit show.

Or, to pre-edit what clearly I meant to say "this place is a shit show"

Unfortunately, you're points make sense abt Ayton. Nurk and Simons? I feel like Phx would do it but we should not. Nurk and Nas?

Ayton is a top 10 center but at 30M+, I don't think he's worth it but a "we gotta do something" deal on Cronin's part if nothing better presents itself

Probably best way to appease the most Blazer fans is draft BPA at 3 but acquire some vets at low cost like DeRozen, Porzingis, etc. Somewhat similar to last off-season. If we fill out the bench with legit vet minimum guys it could make a real difference in more wins vs last year's shit backups.

Not saying that's the best option, just the least upset Blazer fans.

I just hate the idea of trading any of Sharpe 3 Ant if we don't contend immediately (which I suspect is unrealistic)

Yeah many would be upset if we trade Dame, but I'd say less now than at any time in many years. I think the success with Sharpe has many more fans ok with building with 3 plus more youth.

Puke, I'd much rather have Ant and 3 then Ayton and Siakam. That team isn't contending and now we lost 2/3 of our youth. I'd be very upset with this.

Just draft BPA and run back last year's group is much better.
