    If we do trade Dame, the centerpiece I'm looking at is Jaylen Brown. He has a chance to actually be a number 1 in the playoffs. None of the other names are even worth starting a conversation.

    I would laugh them off the phone. Garbage picks. Bunch of scrubs. And Ben Simmons who can’t shoot. Hard pass.

    2 all stars < age 24, a ton of picks incoming, no pressure to do anything more than just make the playoffs still trumps anything appealing about portalnd (which at this point is just dame, that too with similar external pressures to leave).

    zion's family can gripe about anything they want but he still showed up every day and was by all accounts coachable. And i will eat my shoe if a max level player takes a qualifying offer to force his way out after his rookie scale.

    So keep LOLing all you want, but you're still wrong.

    Two all defensive players and picks? Seems better than worse, no?

    Was thinking the same thing. We don’t need scoring, we need defense.

    Teams need to focus on drafting orphans. Problem solved.

    I’d eat my hat if there isn’t a better trade out there.
    And if Dame wanted out, I’d ship his ass to the highest bidder, not to some pre-determined location.
    I’m sure a team will pull a Kawhi-Toronto and say hey, maybe we can deal with him for 3-4 years and get a chip then watch him walk.
    Also taking away our scoring and adding players who can’t score at all would make us WAY worse than we are now.
    Wayyy worse.
    And in another thread, I said Simmons ain’t worth it. Cant play in the 4th of meaningful games. Can’t shoot.
