    Dame can’t be traded yet. I think the 10th of July is the earliest he can be traded. In case some mods want to troll our awesome forum.

    Dame can trade a house or a car anytime he wants to.

    A trade including Dame can't be completed until July 10th... that's 4 days after contracts can be signed and the particulars of the deal would be known as soon as it was agreed to. That's not tampering or anything illegal, it's happened before that guys have been reported to be on the move a week or two before their trade restriction expired.

    I sure hope not but the idea that an agreement can't be reached at any time with his trade restriction coming up in less than a month and no games or team activities being scheduled between now and then is nonsense. We could find a trade partner for Dame tomorrow and sure either team could back out between now and then because the trade wouldn't be official until it was called in on July 10th but that would be a bad look for the team that did it if the trade had been leaked to the press. The teams wouldn't be allowed to address it officially until July 10th when it would be completed.

    I'm hoping that this doesn't matter at all and Joe gets moves done that makes Dame excited to spend the rest of his career here.

    this has more to do with 2023 draft picks.

    Dame probably won't be traded, and if he is it wouldn't be for weeks or even till next season's trade deadline. I don't think anybody seriously believes Dame is asking to be traded this week or even before the first week or two of the off-season. So there would be no sense of a Dame trade 2 days from now during the draft. Teams won't make draft picks based upon Dame speculation and then hold off on signing a pick when Dame might not ask out for weeks or months, if ever

    They could agree to a deal in principle. Also, if Dame really wants to go to Heat, there could be urgency there before they move on to next target.

    Sean Highkin updated this morning that it’s only a 6 month restriction and Dame could be traded right now. He wouldn’t have to wait until 7/9.

    Mods can you update the thread title?

    I just want this saga, if you want to call it that, to end or way or the other. Going to be a long, aggravating time until it is.

    Dame is an entrepreneur, his non-basketball endeavours benefit from the publicity this saga creates. Fast and The Furious will end and Dame will still be here and ESPN will not stop talking about him going to the Heat or Sixers or Knicks or Patriots

    pairing Simons & Herro, with their quick release 3-pointers, the local media would freak out if they combined for 20 threes in a Blazers win. "see, we told you, our boss Cronin built the Steph & Klay blueprint. Now fans just need to wait for the trade deadline. Because I talk to people behind the scenes with my elite team access pass, which none of you idiots have, and Joe definitely has plans grab 3-4 All-Star vets during the break."

    What if 2 GMs get in a Tesla with a Flux capacitor?

    A pairing of Simons and Herro would result in the Blazers being the first team ever to give up 200 points.
