    Herro, Lowry, Martin, Jovic, picks

    Herro goes elsewhere for something and Lowry as well or bought out

    Just my guess

    We should not waste our time hoping to get equal value. That is not happening. But we do need at least two nice young pieces in addition to picks. The Nets have two IMO. Miami does not unless Jovic and Jaquez turn out to be good.

    I'll take it. Sounds like an educated guess.

    If that's realistically the best we can get, so be it. Let's just get it over with.

    I still wish we could work something else with Brooklyn.

    Dame has 3 years left on his contract, and isn't Dame leaving because Cronin hasn't catered to every wish of his?

    If Dame were in charge, he wouldn't be asking to leave. He is definitely NOT in charge.

    Note he only did it after Irving resigned with Dallas. They've been doing the maneuver together for a while. Was Riley in Paris?

    Why would Cronin make a bad trade to get Dame to Miami? Because Dame said so?

    Apparently there's a Dame tweet out there implying he's going to Miami to win a couple chips like Lebron did and then come back to Portland and win one.....I guess if it makes him feel less guilty, he's a wordsmith, I'll give him that. I don't use twitter so don't know for sure.

    Because Dame won't play for any other team, including Portland.

    No, Dame and his demand will make mincemeat of Cronin...Or any GM that is put in that position. So tired of people who have no idea of what's it's like to be in the arena taking shots a guy who's doing it.

    I doubt that is true. At least I doubt that is true if we wait him out. (Before the season starts) If he was traded to the Nets would he sit out? Doubtful.

    I feel like Miami would offer us something like Denver did with Raymond Felton for Andre Miller in a Dame trade.

    Still waiting to find out who the All-Star is

    Is it Lowry? Was Lowry the all-star all along?

    did Bledsoe make an All-Star team? Cronin & Billups showered us with Bledsoe compliments before buying out Eric's contract.
