    Again, I'm asking nicely, please keep politics out of the main forum.

    I didn't realize Dame's 4th year was a player option. So it's 3 years. Hard to see him turning down 55 million when he's 34, but crazier things have happened.

    I'm sorry but this really comes off as a guy who has been sheltered in a city where he hasn't received any flack at all, and now that he's getting some heat he is starting to think about wanting out?

    Dude... go play in Philly and then come back and tell me our fans suck. I can PROMISE you he would have taken much worse heat after the Pels series than he is taking right now. Go look at what Ben Simmons is taking from their fans. Those tweets look pretty damn innocuous to me.

    Exactly. I’m telling you this dude has the confidence and attitude of a fucking a superstar. Go humble yourself while your in foul trouble in the 1st half with 4 fouls. Stfu Nurk

    At that point he’ll be like 34 years old. He can leave if he wants by then..

    Neil is not perfect. He has missed badly on some drafts. (most of which other teams did als0) But one advantage to having a stubborn patient GM is knowing he is not likely to give in easily to any trades for Dame. Dame is not going anywhere. Not this year anyway.

    This is why I quit Twitter 6 years ago. It's an absolute fucking cesspit. And for every one person who sucks you into an argument, there are 1,000 more waiting in line after them.

    I KIND OF agree with this. If he's arguing on Twitter with people and crying about getting shit on social media, of all places.....grow a thicker spine Dame. You are 1,000 times the person ANYONE on Twitter is.

    At the same time, I don't blame him for being upset with getting hate, when all he has ever done is bend over backwards for the fanbase; half of whom are batshit crazy.

    Starting shitty threads and then saying “well then don’t post” is a terrible way to go about a forum

    The only thing that will get Dame, is Kyrie imo.

    Brooklyn aitn trading Kyrie. The guy who reported it walked it back. We seen what happened once he went down. KD could not carry, and Harden does what he usually does in the playoffs (Injured or not injured), disappear. Irving is the only member of the big three who leave the team with a negative net rating when he is off the floor. He is more important than people want to give him credit for. However, this trade really makes no sense, considering KD and Ky came to the Nets together, and their contracts are up 2022 (Player options).

    The dude is being paid an insanely high amount of money to bend over backwards for the fanbase.

    1st to PDX

    I might like this one better than the Jaylen Brown trade. Follow it up with CJ/future 1 for Simmons. We would need another Guard but would get a lot younger with 4 nice pieces.

    Brown is better than Ingram.

    I agree but I like Hayes better than Williams and Alexander-Walker better than Smart(I don’t like Smart) Plus they have a lot of first rounders to throw around. They could offer a pretty stacked package.

    I don't dislike you either. I'm still waiting for your first post that isn't about you. You have enough fascination with yourself for everyone. Have you heard of Borderline Personality Disorder?
