we should be happy getting out of that albatross contract and gettin a "decent" return, the longer we waited the worse it was going to be. Now Scoot and Shae team will not be hamstrung by that deal.
There was a lot of Zion smoke a week ago. So, a three-way where we get back Zion? Any trade machine maestros want to take a crack at it?
Am I the only one who is fine keeping Grant even with Dame gone? I always hated Grant playing against us and honestly with a PG like Scoot I think he will benefit more to showcase his talents. While I enjoyed and loved the Dame time era I am more excited to see what the future holds.
This is obvious to say, but just to put it out there: you want salary that's closer to expiring, players who play positions you need regardless of skill, and picks, as many as they'll give you, for the years when Dame is 37-39.
I only want players and picks that match the Triple-S time-line. The Miami picks ain't it, and no old high salary vets.
Gonna have to take back expensive assets, you just want them to be expiring soon or old vets so they can shore up the bench behind our young guys and (hopefully) mentor them a little.
I think there's enough of a track record out there with trades like KD (to PHX) and Harden (to the Nets) that you can make the case that sets the market for Lillard
Easier to take back a bunch of assets? Maybe Cronin tried to make a move but it fell through so Dame asked out? Watford slept with Cronin's wife? I doubt we'll ever know.
