    If you're saying anything more than marginal moves I would hope that Joe would have the good sense to just not make any moves and tell Dame that this is the best we can do, then get Dame to a good situation that sends us fair value back. Joe keeps saying that he wants to push all of his chips in.

    Then use your one remaining future FRP 2030 to ship Nurk out for two bench players that make sense.

    Dame, Shaedon, Jerami, McDaniels, KAT, Scoot, Matisse and bench players we get for Nurk and the 2030 pick along with Murray and other bench guys trying to earn a way into the rotation.

    You didn’t answer it. I was trying to see where you stood on team vs player

    Woj is better than most, but I don't think he knows anything at all about the Dame/Blazer situation.

    That whole analogy is just dumb. You have no more of an idea of what's better for the team than anyone else.

    Ant and Litte were suggested for KAT today by a caller on NBA radio. They pretty much laughed at it. But adding 2 first-round picks does sound more realistic

    Totally agree. I was simply asking for your opinion. You know mine

    I hate myself for saying it, but I’m not that mad at it and think it’s a solid C- on the “love it” scale. Ant almost has to go, but if taking on 200M of ridiculous KAT play is the price for keeping the young talent and Dame, I’ll allow it.

    Man I feel like KAT sucks. I’d rather do someone like Derozan for one year so if Dame ends up wanting out we aren’t stuck holding a bad contract like KAT.

    Dame's trade value would be a lot higher if he helps the Blazers win summer league this year.

    If FVV leaves I’d rather overpay for OG than underpay for KAT and I don’t like either player.

    If you can get KAT I think you have to do it. Gifted player and needs a change. MIN is desperate for picks. Two frp protected would get er done with Ant etc ( maybe)

    "Who is this narrative for?" asked the talking head in the middle.

    My speculation... Dame can't be traded until July 10. Either he wants to go or he doesn't. If, as the clip speculates Dame is being traded on his request, why would he want his name in the news for the next few weeks? Thats only potential negative PR that both he and the club would want to limit to as small a news cycle as possible which would be closer to 7/10. If he wants to stick it out, no reason to put out anything different then what he did.

    MIN is the laughing stock of the NBA. It's going to take more than that.
