Dame asks for trade (And there it is)

Does it have to be our blood?

 

I hope you're secretly Joe Cronin because if you have the stones to offer that trade then I'd feel pretty confident that we're going to pull off some pritchslaps

 

...it's quite the lil spin narrative, but as others have pointed out -- very obtuse and gullible line of thinking for #TeamDameDiva If only he could've kept everything private behind closed doors, then maybe the org would have had enough leverage to execute "contending" level trades/acquisitions (this goes back 2yrs when the rumors first started that Dame wanted out despite all his posturing). Sorry, not sorry, but I'm not buying this whole argument of the Blazers have been dicking Dame around. What's done is done now though so hopefully they come out of Vegas with some fair value framework for a trade to the Heat.

 

Glad we didn’t trade Ant/Scoot for him

 

I think he's worth that on an extended contract. But not on his expiring contract

 

Did this moron actually propose a Zach Levine for Damian Lillard trade? Moreover, he dismissed it as giving too much saying he wanted to move DeMar DeRozan.

At that point, I just turned it off.

 

Gross

 

I've always liked Jonas, but not sure why we'd want any of those other players.

 

I might have missed it, but what did you do with Trent Jr? He is not listed in any of your future trades or in your hypothetical roster?

 

Saddiq is the only guy named that I would think fits with what we should be trying to do.

 

At this point, probably just to get this over with.

But I'm not sure we should presume any of them would end up in Portland. It's like that episode of M*A*S*H where for Hawkeye to get what he wants he need to promise Klinger something, and to get that for Klinger he has to promise Hot Lips something and, before you know it, almost everyone in the camp is getting something to give up something. Sounds like that's what's happening here.

 

Has anyone else thought a trade hasn't happened yet because the Blazers could also be trying to ship out Nurk as part of a multi-team trade that sends Dame to Miami, but Blazers having difficulty finding someone who wants Nurk?

 

Anything's possible. I think the biggest thing is that it's going to be a complicated trade and it's taking time to get the other teams lined up and the Blazers and Heat to agree on compensation.

 

I think Saddiq Bey is an interesting name

 

For sure. Sly on S2 is way cooler than the person I’ve met in person pretending to be Sly.

It’s more interesting that Duncan Robinson but still not that sexy
