Keeping the #3 pick.....AND Dame

Is Dame + keeping #3 the best scenario?

  1. Absolutely - give it a few months to play out. What is #3 is better than Sharpe?

  2. No - the band-aid needs to be pulled off. Go one way or the other.

  3. 'Hold please' - we need to see the workouts of players around #3, #6 and #11 first.

    Come on, Ed. You lay this bale of baloney in a post calling out someone else’s straw men arguments? I, and most others here who have argued in favor of trying to reload around Dame have done so in the context of Cronin making an aggressive effort to add the talent for a team that has a shot at contention. The recognition is there, as it has been in Dame’s comments, that things change if the moves aren’t available.

    I’d have gone with “cornucopia” just because I like the sound.

    inefficient abundance of syllables. That's in the rule book too; page 23

    Yes....it was coming from Dallas through Phoenix. It would actually take 2 separate trades because Ayton would be going to DAL in a S&T with Irving.

    If a Simons trade with future pick(s) gets OG or better, then keep the 3rd pick — Amen Thompson. (Same size as Bridges.) A longgggg way to go to become a good shooter. Scoot has a ways to go as well.
