    I've never heard of a player opting in, and asking for a trade. Weird stuff.

    What picks? They have one, so it's just pick.

    Rather trade him to Miami for Lowry and their 3 picks.

    Listening to Jake on the BDL podcast, he's got absolutely nothing on Portland. Says they've been very quiet and want to thread this metaphorical needle of two timelines but upgrades seem tough to find.

    Sounds about right. We got nothing.

    The 76ers could just decide not to trade him, but they need to build a better team around Embiid. It could have just been a S&T though. This is interesting. May Harden figured he wouldn't get as much just signing elsewhere or in a sign and trade.

    CP3 from Clips.

    Normally it only happens when a trade is close.

    I guess Kyrie sort of did it last year but nobody took him seriously.

    Happens all the time. Teams generally do this to prevent guyd from walking away for nothing

    Sign and trade doesn't work if it's to a tax team though, such as the Clippers.

    Wow Hart opted in to his 13 mil deal.

    Lol, Josh Hart or Kris Murray? I maintain that we could have kept Hart if we pushed hard enough to, and I think Hart impacts winning more than Simons.

    It is what it is.

    If Norman Powell nets LA Harden and we couldn't even get a 2nd, will people finally realize how horrible Cronin is?

    Maybe Joe and Chauncey convinced Dame to see what they could do by running it back with the additions of Scoot and whoever they get with whatever MLE they use. In my opinion that wouldn't be the best move for Dame but it's his life and I would love to keep him. In my opinion having a ton of your best assets all in the back court is not smart at all.

    Yet we have a Joe Cronin appreciation thread.

    Go figure.

    If Hart stayed, would the Blazers tank? and if they don't tank, they don't get Scoot.

    Scoot + KM or Hart + whoever was taken at the 9th pick?

    Almost gives the appearance that the Blazers prefer Dame asks out and are trying to give him that opportunity.

    Or... He's already asked out and they're just staying silent in evaluating offers.

    Well it's good we're trying to win now with veterans around Dame and have no use for a two way player on a cheap 13 million dollar deal....
