Bobby Marks rules out San Antonio and LAC. Doesn't think Philly is a landing spot. He thinks Brooklyn would only be a third team. Not a primary team.
Highkin said he wouldn't be surprised if it dragged into August. Honestly, I just don't want to see it get to training camp. As long as it's completed before training camp, and we get a good deal, I don't care.
im not worried about trader joe, the fact that he hasnt traded dame yet, tells me he isnt gonna take miami trash offer perhaps we still wont get satisfying offer from miami or someone else, but if that happens, it wont be cause trader joe is incapable, but cause no-one simply wanted to offer more
sorry...does not 'imply' he "demanded" Miami. I'm sure he made it clear he preferred Miami...that it was his first choice. Keep in mind, it' was one fucking tweet from Amick saying Dame told Cronin he'd only play for Miami, and apparently Amick has not repeated it in writing articles about the situation. Nate said what Amick wrote for the Athletic was that Miami was Dame or bust; not that Dame was Miami of bust
You know, it's interesting. Miami got Butler for basically nothing and they will get Dame for nothing and a half. The Blazers had some pretty good assets to get 1(!) Star next to Dame, but they never had a chance. WTF is this league. We need to do what the Nets did and hold on to Dame until a better deal is available. That's what contracts are for.
Earlier on I came across a comment on IG that was like, "If the Blazers do Dame dirty, alot of fans will forever hate the team." So I tell him that as a Blazers fan, I want us to get the best possible combination of young players and draft picks. If that's the Heat, awesome. If it's not, tough luck for him. He responds with "damn no love for the man who made your franchise relevant?" You can't argue with some folks LMAOOO.
I have very low confidence in Cronin. Wish we had someone like Deryl or Ainge at the helm right now. Remember when Deryl stored Simmons in the freezer for months and actually ended up getting James Harden for him? THAT'S THAT SHIT RIGHT THERE
If Miami was gonna get Dame for nothing it would have already happened, the longer it takes the better the deal will be.
Said it elsewhere, Scottie Barnes is the guy you want from TOR. Dick, sure. Precious would be fine too. But it wouldn't make sense for TOR to trade Dame's buddy, and it wouldn't make sense for us to not take their younger, cheaper wing... Generally an interesting option, though...
