    It would be pretty funny if we traded him to San Antonio for picks and then he remained the best player on a series of mediocre teams and we cashed in on Spurs' lottery picks :)

    More seriously, it's great that it may not be "Miami or Bust!" for Dame to buy into a trade. I know it shouldn't matter, but it does, and more teams means more options which is good for us.

    What I would like to see is us to fill the end of our bench with the highest-character vets in the League. We are going to be a young team going forward. We need pros who can teach the youth how to play the game the right way.

    If Portland wants to change how they want play I think Simons is another player that's needs to be traded.

    Shams is the one reporting that while Woj is reporting that there is a list of preferred destinations. I think Dame would be smart enough to give a list and probably tell the team his most preferred on that list. The team needs to be smart enough to take the best deal we can get from one of the teams on that list.

    Do the 76ers or Clippers have any young stars?
    That's what I really want. Not picks (as much).
    I'd rather have Sochan than a bad pick in next years draft.

    76'ers have Maxey.....just what we need, another guard.
    Clippers don't have squat.

    OK. Still can't call loyalty.

    If you were married for a long time, your wife got breast cancer (NeO), it takes longer to recover than expected and you decide to go with someone else because you are getting old and she is a blond with big talent, you can't be called loyal anymore. Does not mean you were not a great husband before, does not mean you are necessarily bad, but loyal, you are not.

    If it's Miami or bust, Cronin has to take the "bust" until a good deal appears.

    but the Sixers do not want to give up Maxey for a Top 75 player of all time -- I am not saying I want him cause he is another guard but the fact they are not even willing. I got one thing to tell that GM -- go BEEP off and hope the Sixers never win a ring.

    Spurs are legitimately the only team that interests me.

    Every other team can offer diddly squat.

    I don’t see the Spurs wanting to pair 19 year old Wemby and 33 year old Dame BUT Pop is old AF so who knows.

    There needs to be a 3 or 4 team trade with a young "win now" team that wants assets from one of Dame's preferred teams.
    Look at Houston. That's now a young "win now" team.

    If assets from Dame's preferred destination are so bad that nobody wants them, Cronin has to wait. There's no rush for the Blazers now. Phoenix had to up the ante to get KD.
