If San Antonio is in the deal, I wouldn't mind getting Zach Collins back. He can be pretty good if healthy.
Yeah we would need to be getting a starting level C back up in the trade or have another trade set up to bring one in.
If we are exciting they will pump us up. When we drafted Dame is was the same way: first we were exciting to watch, then we were a team on the rise, then analysts focused on Dame then they started telling Dame to leave us lol I don’t know if that sort of attention is what we want right now.
In due time, we are not wining anything this year except another good draft pick, like the draft given Portland's current situation its BPA (or pick) in any trade - highest value back and sort it out (more trades if applicable) as the year progresses
Sharpe posterizes Dame in the dunk contest and has it printed out right there, signs it, and hands it to him. Could we see it? Imagine if it happens this year (in game)… How are you going to feel?
The reality is that in the social media era they are going to pressure any star that lands in Portland to leave. It is not a "sexy" market.
This is no different than it was 20 or even 30 years ago. Everyone wants players to go to Miami or New York or LA. This has never changed.
That goes for any city. Harden left big market Houston. went to big market Brooklyn then Big Market Philly. Now he wants out of Philly. Doesn't matter where the good players are.
I’m calling it now. Cronin—the most inept GM in the NBA—won’t be able to make a deal with any of the teams Dame is interested in, so Dame will move into his new house and finish his career in Portland.
I feel like a lot of previously suppressed dirty laundry will come out in Portland over the next year. A lot of surprising people having some pretty surprisingly intense reactions to this.
I don't know about sexy but it certainly has more of a spotlight than Portland. It's the 3rd biggest market in the US.
