    Or we just accept the team will suck again next year and this is a very long term rebuild.

    The only way it accelerates is if we trade Dame.

    If we traded for him, we couldn't pay more than his 3rd year rookie option to keep him in the offseason.

    Short of Cronin trading Dame for a bag of peanuts, I think we're done.

    We could offer him more in the offseason, just his current team can not.

    If that's the case, free Dame by this time next season... not as some favor to him but to accelerate the rebuild.

    Not to mention, I think Powell is just the type of player that Boston didn't want.

    All the dominos have fallen. Grant is the only one that remains and we don't have the pieces to get him.

    Detroit's gonna realize the offers for Grant aren't going to be better in the off-season. But it doesn't matter. I'm not thrilled with the idea of Grant now either way.

    I'd trade the Memphis 2nd for him and that's it. He's an RFA this offseason so if we wanted him we probably could get him.

    Cronin made it very clear in his statement last week what his plan was and it appears he's working his plan. Clear cap to bring in complimentary pieces for Dame.
    Doesnt have to happen now but it will offseason for sure.

    we just traded 3 starters and our 6th man. Almost entirely for shit value.

    do you really want idiot Joe making more deals?

    Yep, just have to see what picks we end up with hopefully a high lottery, a mid lottery and two seconds. Hell, we win the lotto and get Jabari Smith... then take another good player later in the lotto. Cronin could just get saved by this team tanking well, getting lucky and NOLA sucking but not getting lucky in the lotto.

    I think Cronin is borderline incompetent. What a steal by the Clippers. Fuck me man.
