    Seems like a Dallas move to me. Just a hunch.

    I'm the opposite...it wouldn't make sense to me if Dame is out. Ayton is good enough to get a team some wins that might knock them from 4th in the draft to 10th

    and if Dame is in, it still doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I have yet to be impressed enough with Ayton to want Portland to pay him 34M/year, epseically considering he seems to be pretty immature and unprofessional

    I'd rather Ant for DDR than Ant for Ayton

    Yeah... not really pumped about adding Ayton.

    I also seriously doubt a Nurkic for Ayton swap at C will impress Dame

    Please no Ayton. I don't see him helping either plan.

    I don't think we have the juice to go get a star at this point.... unless it's a DDR.

    I would shoot for still pushing to get OG. They just added ANOTHER wing.

    I said ddr because i didn't consider og to be available, but if he is, def go after him. Dame mentioned him (og) along with mikal and jared vanderbilt as players he wanna play with

    I can't understand him not being available. He's basically a free agent after next season. He has one more year but it's a player option.

    They can't trade Siakam because supposedly he told teams he won't sign with them. If they want to acquire more young talent, it's OG going out.

    They'll be trading him for a point guard and they desperately need shooting. I heard they've had interest in Dejounte Murray. Which would they prefer? I think Ant is a better fit.

    Murray is also a giant tool.

    Thankful we didn’t trade CJ and 3 unprotected firsts for Ben Simmons like Olshey offered. Or was that a Morey demand? I can’t remember.

    I don't think Tobias is the best player mentioned in this trade. Sixers are on drugs.
