If Dame only wants to go to Miami, Cronin has to be prepared to take it to the trade deadline. Durant chose his team too, and Brooklyn got back some good players. But it was at the deadline.
No. However, a trade could be agreed to and they could wait 30 days to finalize it. Jaquez isn't a big deal anyway in my opinion.
Even if he comes back, and they win , it won't be because of him. He can take his "if I don't win a title Im ok with it" and go chase it on a team he didn't struggle with
If I was in Dame's shoes, I'd want the Knicks. If I could go there and win a championship, I go down as a New York god. Winning a ring with Miami does nothing for him.
Yeah, Riley is putting out there yeah we dont want to include Martin and now Jaquez. Id much rather deal with Marks than Riley.
He's trying to fleece us. He thinks he can get the same kind of crap deal that Washington got for Beal. He knows that he just lost several key role players and if he loses Caleb Martin and Jaime Jaquez Jr, he has that much more work cut out for him to put a team around his trio.
Miami does not have what Dame is worth as because if they get rid of say, Bam, then that the defeats the purpose of getting Dame in the first place.
And I would happily let him stay home and just take a paycheck. He'd relinquish sooner or later. This is the deal we have to win.
