I would trade pick #3 for Bam as long as Sharpe wasn’t part of the package… but I don’t think Heat would trade him, they want to win now.
The Heat had basically everything go right to get to the Finals. They don't have valuable trade assets. Maybe they can add DeLo from the Lakers for Herro. Both guys are inconsistent.
Yeah it reminds me of last year all these posters suggesting we trade Ant or Nurk in draft day trades before they were free agents.
I'd love to get Bam but I don't see how this is possible. He's the most valuable trade asset on a Miami team that just made the finals, the ECF as the 1 seed the prior year, and the finals two years before that. Ant Nurk #3 and 3 future unprotected picks probably isn't enough. Only way I could see the Heat taking the phone call is if we throw in Sharpe. But then it doesn't make sense from the Blazers side.
Sounds like Fisher (who is normally very reputable) is carrying water for the Blazers. Portland could say they tried, when it had almost no chance of happening.
Do people really think Portland will use the media to convince Dame of anything, versus being in constant talk with him on team building?
you have to keep in mind that Cronin is incompetent and stupid...but extremely clever and devious. And Dame is smart and savvy, but gullible. So yeah Cronin is manipulating Dame into saying "duhhhh...ok!"
Last week he was saying Chicago would want more than 3 for Lavine. He's not carrying anyone's water. Just speculating based on whomever he spoke with that day.
Shams Charania is reporting the Celtics/Wizard/Clippers are working through a 3-team trade. Porzingis goes to the Celtics Morris and picks to the Wizards Brogdan to the Clippers Danilo Gallinari is also reported to be on the move.
KP on the Celtics actually makes sense Brogdon on the Clippers might mean Ballmer hasn't learned anything yet
Just because David Stern absolutely milked it. This is the most dramatic moment in NBA draft history. Edit: Oh shit Bill Simmons is phenomenal in this clip but in hindsight if you watch the whole thing it's seriously like Shane Battier is doing stand up.
