    Engaging in explicit or sexually explicit behavior is a personal choice that should be made within appropriate and consensual contexts. Encouraging someone to expose their pubic region is not only disrespectful but also highly invasive and offensive. It is crucial to foster a culture of respect and consent, where individuals are treated with dignity and their boundaries are honored. Making suggestions that involve exposing one's intimate body parts without knowing their mindset and sensitivities is unacceptable and should be condemned.

    Just do a Nets deal like they did with KD, and ask Dame to at least start the season and we will work out a trade if he provides 3 preferred destinations. I don think Dame at all is being unreasonable asking for a trade as he and his agent have been convicted for a while now that the Zer's could go young.
    I dont think Cronin would be willing to take the Nets path as it would put even more pressure on him and he would show that he's incapable to pull of a trade before deadline.
    The easy route for Joe is a quick move now for a clean slate that he can play with.

    Anchoring is hardly a master Zen move in negotiating.

    Sheed never wanted that spotlight. He actually wanted to do good deeds for their own sake. I think Lillard is the same. The difference is the relationship with the media. Sheed hated them, Dame doesn't.

    To me it looked like what he was saying was that what the Heat were offering was a complete joke and should be rejected out of hand.

    I think Olshey tried his very best...and that's why he should have never had the job in the first place.

    Wait, so Joe did try to get Dame assets, but other teams were just being idiots?

    It can't be! Joe shoved Dame out the door with extreme prejudice. I know because I read it on a forum somewhere.

    How is it that one of the 75 greatest players that loves the city and fans can ask for a trade while under contract? What has happened to cause him to take this route? Is it thats Joe failed to convince Dame through inaction and reading Dame incorrectly (oh, I think Dames just passionate and wants to win. He's not going to ask out. No.) or is that Dame has finally caved in to the lure of Chasing a ring or bad influences? Was this at all salvageable?
    Be honest, Who misled who?
    Personally I dont think Dame did at all. Joe simply wants his own clean slate to build at his PACE. He knew that it would cause Dame to ask out and that was his plan. He failed in that he was not at all truthful in what path he wanted to take.

    Ant's value appears to be extremely low. But, I don't think Masai Ujiri is a gauge of anything realistic

    It depends on what's being offered to Cronin. He's not going to make a horrible deal now when he could wait.

    I don't know where to ask this since there are so many frickin threads, but have Clowney and Whitehead signed their rookie deals with the Nets yet?

    Thats my Point, Joe should convinced Dame to play and then Joe can work a deal before trade deadline.

    As well it should be.
    If fans take off the rose colored glasses, Ant has the same value as Herro & Poole...

    I do not believe so. They are still shown as unsigned on FanSpo.

    Saying this for years
    That's called "cutting your nose off despite your face." Shroder's a good backup. He's not a lead guard on a team that expects to get beyond the first round of the playoffs. And the Raptors are a team that could sustain giving up a wing.
