See I don't think trading him to a Nets team with Bridges, Cam Johnson, DFS, a guy in Simmons that Dame might think he can get to a better place, possibly Nurk if he goes with Dame and Royce O'Neal only increases Dame's chances at a title by 5%. I think that's a legit team especially with the ability to draw free agents that NYC has.

I just threw out a number. Maybe 10%? The broader point is that only 1 team wins it every year and needs to get consistently lucky to begin with -- regardless of what the team looks like on paper. To me its the difference of "really hard" or "really really hard".

If you're Dame, and you're weighing a slightly improved chance at a title and the potential to slightly tarnish your legacy vs. being the goat and still having an albeit-lower-chance at competing, it feels like there's at least a lot to weigh there, especially when you've started a family here... My perception of Dame is that he just wants a chance so I think this is the kind of thought process he is and has been working through.
 
Dame trapped himself here with a massive contract -- OMG -- the stupidity continues -- He earned that deal by being one of the very best players in the league. I am curious if Giannis demanded out of Milwaukee would you say the same thing to him or Jokic or another elite player ??

If you would then all hope is lost for you cause your clueless and I want you to find a medical facility and have them study you cause you are a medical miracle. You are someone who is walking around without a functioning brain and that needs to be studied.

I told you all the gloves were coming off and I ment it -- the old Rip is back until some sense of sanity is restored on this forum.

There are no guarantees that team would win it all but they would be a contender immediately... we don't have a realistic path to that right now, not if we are dedicated to seeing things through with Scoot and Shaedon and that's fine if that's what our team wants to do and it's fine if they don't say out loud that they want that. Dame will have to ask out and I think he will. I guess we'll wait and see.

Herro, Jovic, Jaime Jaquez, 2 future 1st and maybe a couple swaps sounds like a good haul to me… then flip Herro for addition picks or a young frontcourt player

It is almost like you are a heat fan, who showed up right after Dames interview and have constantly pushed trading Dame to Miami for garbage
 
If it happens (and I don't think it's at all certain) then I say it's at or shortly before the trade deadline. If Dame asks out, he'll do it discreetly and I think he can be persuaded to wait for the best offer. Plus it's kind of splashier to come in midseason and "save" a contender.

There should be downvotes for suggestions like this.

The only thing I want from Miami is Spoelstra. Somebody kidnap his Dad (who lives in Portland, right?)

Nope, just looking to move into a new era… super excited about Scoot/Sharpe duo!

We're not now, but again, a decent Ant/Nurk trade and a good MLE signing (that Dame could certainly influence) and this team would look pretty darn good on paper as well. Both are well within possible.

How many times has Chris Paul’s massive contract been traded?

If teams know that Dame is on the market there will be no shortage of GMs willing to take his contract. I just only see one team that has assets and would still be a winning situation for Dame after getting us those assets. There is probably more than that but the Nets are just very obvious.

Hmmmm..... interesting question.

I think Ant would accept a hybrid role before Dame would. I think Simons has a better contract to be a hybrid. If Dame goes, and the starting lineup is Scoot/Sharpe, I think Simons would make sense coming off the bench as the backup to both positions.

That'd be IDEAL in this presented situation
