But it's Dame Time, isnt it? To me it's simple. If there's an opportunity to get an outstanding bonafide 2 way front line player that could help, trade whoever, except Dame. We may or may not need to trade Shae?
Huh? What kind of logic is that? You think Dallas should be punished for being more transparent about their tanking? Sounds like you’re playing the same silly game the NBA is by refusing to believe tanking is going on until someone points it out to them. If anything, Portland should be the team that gets punished, since the “injury” lie is farther from the truth than the “resting” lie, and since Portland has been tanking for two weeks rather than the one game that Dallas tanked.
I agree it's pretty stupid to punish teams for tanking when the NBA incentivizes teams to do it in the first place.
Ed O comment is based on facts of what will happen. Your comment is a bunch of your personal feelings of what you prefer.
so fun fact. i currently live approx 5 miles from where the lottery will take place at the NBA offices in Secaucus, NJ. what can i do on May 16 to sway the Lottery Gods to help us out here?
Dame has said he won't do a draft process twice now after taking a two year mega extension. If the right circumstances come along, you trade him if that's what it takes. He's basically saying he's not onboard to keep Victor if they land the first pick. That's not putting the team first. And I'd rather trade him now at his peak value versus him saying he wouldn't mind being traded, which lowers his value.
When we get first pick, we will probably explore if Giannis, Joel, or Joker could be had, if not, we draft and keep Wemby. Dame must understand that
He's the only one of three that might even want to be moved. Philly has been on a treadmill and when Harden inevitably leaves, I can see Joel wanting out. He likes Dame and I think is one of the guys that Dame has been talking about.
The record books will never reflect it. I remember a couple AC Green games they did the same for him during his infamous streak.
