We are trading everyone on the roster, coaches included, for everyone Miami has, then we will flip Kevin love for jokic and Duncan Robinson for Murray
Is the Blazers preparing a compelling package for Bam even a real thing? Or was it a strategically leaked middle finger back to Miami? It's funny how the reports of Portland pursuing Bam came the day after all the buzz about Miami prioritizing a deal for Dame. Because that ticked me off as a Blazer fan. What the hell does Miami have that Portland wants outside of players they would never part with? No young talent, no draft capital. Wait, you have nothing to offer but you want Dame? GTFO of here with that.
A bit, sure. But when I look at the roster, center isn't the position of need that is keeping us from a deep run in the playoffs.
You better not be pro-Turner or pro-Ayton. Bam would easily change life on the defensive end of the floor. With Bam, guys like Thybulle can gamble more on defense. The gap between Nurk and Bam is much higher than a gap between Nurk and Turner or Ayton. But that’s also why Bam isn’t actually available.
Strongly disagree. Not only would Bam be worlds better defensively both individually and allowing them to switch off improving team D, he'd be the rim runner/dunker position monster they've lacked Dame's entire pro career. Dame & Ant both are great outside threats which forces the D out on their jumpers. When the D takes that away they drive and collapse the remaining D to them so they dump it to Nurk who does 5 moves before missing an awkward hook. I've seen that play 10,000 times. I don't think for a moment Miami is dealing Bam, but yes he'd be a phenomenal match with Dame. STOMP
I like Bam but we have to address other things first and he would cost too much and you can get a role playing C that is like a 75% Bam for a pretty good price. Hell, we had one once named JJ Hickson.
