    Unfortunately that seems to be an all too common mis-assumption.

    I was listening to sports radio 750 am about a half hour ago at lunch... during one of commercial sports updates they said there are rumors that that Dame and LeBron want to team up and that Dame is the preferred star LeBron really want so play with... then they said don’t be surprised to start hearing Dame to LA trade rumors in the next couple weeks... anyone else hear this... I couldn’t find anything on internet to back it

    Not going to lie if we decide to blow it up I'd be fine watching Dame get the recognition he deserves. Just sucks it'd be with the fucking Lakers.

    If Nurk isn’t in our long term vision then why would we even want to bring him back?

    Also, if the thing about Boogie is true, then why would Nurkic even want to come back?

    Seems like it would be best for both parties to just move on. Especially if NO is that convinced that Collins is our center of the future.

    I heard that a couple of days ago from a long-time quality source. He couldn't confirm anything and said it was likely just someone throwing Dame's name out. Didn't want to post it because that would be the end for me.

    I did hear the same thing from someone else who has a couple of relatives that work for different teams in the league. It was nothing firm on his end either....but I don't like hearing even a hint of that.

    That's the trick that lazy Olshey hasn't even tried to master--to trade players before economics forces him to give them away for free. With no anticipation vision, Olshey is always caught by surprise.

    Most recently, Vonleh. Everyone except Olshey knew he should be traded last summer to avoid the tax. But Olshey never makes trades. So, he couldn't include him in a trade. Actually had to pay a team to take him.

    Well if he wanted to play with Dame there was a way to make sure that happened about 3 days ago. Obviously he didn't want it that bad. Ship....sailed.

    That’s a great signing. Indiana is going to be good again next season.

    Kevin Pritchard seems to still be able to make significant moves last year and now.....

    It was weird hearing a RUMOR during a sports desk update on a major sports radio station... especially when there is no word of this rumor anywhere online

    Do we kidnap the GM's family, or just go straight for the owner? You get the gloves and masks; I'll get the basement swept and the chains ready. :ph34r:
