Dame asks for trade (And there it is)

1. Don't trade Simons.
2. Maximize your trade value for Dame. Involve multiple teams.
3. Shed bad contracts.
4. Trade for frontcourt size and length.
5. Draft picks for eons.
6. If any of his preferred destinations balks at our price, put the onus on Dame and his agent to get a deal done. Not our problem.
7. At this point, let him sit until we get what we want.
8. The return benchmark should be higher than the KD trade to the Suns.

 

Loyal to the soil or a merchant of snake oil?

Good luck to him, but it's not a great look.

 

If someone sees Neil walking around Lake O, will they kick him in the nuts for me? Please and thank you.

 

Nothing wrong with keeping the salary spot for Grant. We need to spend up to the floor anyways.

 

Thank God I’m not a history major and have a crappy memory.

 

Did anybody on here thought we could put good to great veterans around Dame if you thought that your in fantasy land. Cronin had know maneuver ability due the blazers back was against the wall in cap. Plus when last time a real good player came here in free agency. His only hope was through the draft that Dame or by trade that you really wouldn't know if you going get the players that's going actually help team win. I said before know team was going to deal with Portland and know quality FA was going to come here for the MLE. Especially when every GM out there knew Dame would request a trade if cronin couldn't do something magical. Cronin hands was tie and if we had the greatest GM his hands would be tied. I wish Dame luck where ever he goes but he knew the writing was on the wall and Cronin also knew the writing was on the wall.

 

He’s unproven, it’s a legitimate concern and I understand people who are skeptical. I’m kind of that way I guess.

We’ve seen hyped players be washes and while I definitely don’t think Scoot will be a wash, he’s got some pretty big shoes to fill, and he will never be Dame. Could work better for us to have a differently offensive minded PG.

 

I don't think that's fair. I think the team pushed him into this decision. I think it was deliberate too.

 

Nice… at least we got our future PG in Scoot. Just need more draft picks

 

Sharpe was unproven.

Scoot has been playing against grown men for two years.

 

Maybe it gets changed to a sign and trade?

 

Easy for you to say. You don't have season tickets.

 

Disagree. I think we chose to rebuild and we were quietly nudging Dame towards this decision by not at all building around him.

 

Scoot and Sharpe are going to be must-see-TV dude.

 

This is also why I think that extension was dumb.
