    Nah not really. But I’m creative. :)
    If I played myself I’d be pissed off or something but I’m not the one who has taken it all serious and remains bent or playing someone who is bent, whatever it may be.

    One of the stories I heard was from a guy who worked on one of the national shows.... I think either Dan Patrick or one of those sort. He was just one of the staff, and he ran into Colin at a dinner and he said Colin was just extremely rude. That's the one story that came to mind.

    I was thinking pretty much this when I was out and about today. Losing Dame is the worst possible thing that could happen. He is literally our only chance to attract and keep the third star we need. Even if we think the chance of that is slim now, it goes all the way down to zero without Dame.

    That’s like Dumb and Dumber Two. The long, slow-play. So much effort and time.

    I don't think Celtics are invested in Kyrie long term. They seem to be wary of his injury issues and would probably be open to trading him for another point guard. Problem is dealing with Ainge you will never get a fair deal.

    76ers would be a great trade partner though. Fultz, Smith, Saric and Miami pick for Dame would be good for both sides I feel. Bayless thrown in for salary matching purposes I think. We get a new young core plus a potentially great pick, they get a star to go along with Ben and Embiid.

    New York or Chicago IMO.

    I think Kyrie and Durant end up at Knicks though and there’s no money for Butler.

    What I'm saying though is even if Boston traded Irving, they would expect to receive something of great value for him and the Blazers wouldn't want Irving for Dame.

    For the sake of argument, let's say that the Lakers realize that they're not getting Dame from Portland, but inquire about CJ. What would it take from the Lakers side for a CJ-to-LA deal to make sense from Portland's perspective?

    Start with Ingram and take on our salary dumps, but I'd tell them to kick rocks. Ain't no way I want to play a part in improving LA.

    The list starts and stops at Ingram.

    Ingram and two first round draft picks. And cash. Just because.

    :cheers:

    Don't know where to ask this, so I'll ask it here:

    Can someone explain to me the context of Dame's "STFU" tweet from June 30th?

    Thanks

    :cheers:

    Someone was saying Ed Davis is not that good and his loss is not that important

    I think the Lakers looking to get rid of the Ball headache with any serious trade that is for high profile players.

    Thanks.

    So Dame got a little salty over losing Ed. He's not alone.
