    Philly fan is often much more emotional and much less realistic. Some seriously passionate fans though.

    Dames way of requesting a trade? If so then I would want the Blazers front office to work with him. Dame deserves a good shot at a championship.

    There are cheaper and younger. The only teams likely to be seriously tempted by CJ are contenders who want one extra scorer and have an obscene contract to dump. Cleveland looked good until Kevin Love started playing really well again. Brooklyn maybe, although they'll be motivated by convincing Harden to stay and he might not like CJ taking some of his shots.

    I've been a fan of Vanderbilt since before he was drafted, thought he should've been our MLE target this summer.

    it pisses me off that GS managed to get a rejuvenated Porter Jr. for the minimum.

    More complex, much less likely version of my "Norm/CJ for Grant/Collins" wish. Only possible if Hawks think 2 firsts is good compensation for Collins.

    Just shows location and contendership matters. We have to overpay free agents to have them look at us more often than not. The majority of players don't look at Portland with enthusiasm.

    Not to be picky but I don't know if Detroit would feel they were getting enough in this one. As far as the Hawks are concerned Hayes probably doesn't make much of a difference but Nance is a solid role playing starting PF so a solid starter at the same position they're giving up and 2 firsts seems very fair.
