    And that may be true. I just don't see seasons 12 and 13 being any different from a Lillard led team. Change can be good, but sometimes it can be essential.

    This made me sad

    "Why on earth did they trade josh hart?!? He’s the perfect 3 and d “Danny green type” to compliment lillard.

    Lillard - hart - grant - nurkic — you could argue that team is a pascal trade away from contending."

    We aren’t winning anything with Nurk, I’m so tired of his inconsistency. He kills our flow and morale with all his flailing missed layup attempts.

    Nurk has averaged 50 games a year over the last 3 years (includes playoffs). How is he ever going to make it to the championship round?? :biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh:

    Well, Toronto is the team that gave their top-6 protected 2024 pick for a player with an expiring contract (Poeltl). They seem to be going down the road that Chicago did and expect other teams to be just as dumb.

    whoever came up with that trade must think that Siakim is Michael Jordan.

    There's no doubt change needs to be made, but Ingram is not the answer especially when that'd be an awful return for dame lol.

    Beyond the fact that Nola would never do it since there's 10 years of anecdotal evidence showing he and CJ don't get you a championship.

    I'm honestly shocked he's actually played 50 games at all in the last 3 years.

    That team is much better defensively. Offensively should still be elite, probably top 5. With a good bench, I don't see why they can't be a contender.

    Fair enough, but we traded Hart who makes a ton of sense in many scenarios of trying to contend in the next few years with Dame.

    Hart doesn't make sense if we're rebuilding.

    Question;

    What are thoughts on Dame trade value in regard to the potential drafting of Scoot prior/after the draft? I'm thinking Dame has more value before we draft Scoot. Once we have an additional PG on the roster, does Dame's value lessen because of the perceived need to move Dame?

    Hart didn't make sense in ANY scenario because he wasn't resigning with us. Us trading him had absolutely nothing to do with his fit in either direction we were headed and everything to do with wanting to get something for a player we were 100% losing...

    There are going to be plenty of teams wanting Dame. Any team trying to leverage "but you drafted Scoot" is going to get one-upped by the others. I'm not concerned about that affecting his value in the least...
