Player wish-list: one player you want in a trade for Dame?

In no particular order: Giannis, Embiid, or Jokic.

 

Haliburton

 

Id like to get a bam adaboyo type but Im not sure who that is. Claxton is young and versatile.

how about Sabonis? Any chance of swinging a trade for Sabonis even though they have that new pg?

that is the type of center id love to see paired up with SHSS and if we can find thst type of player with Grant i think we can become good really quick. Not great, but good.

One other caveat to this is if we trade Dame and we don't start out hot, management may very well say tank again. If thats the cause that changes everything about next year.

Is there a mobile big in the next draft or two that fits this mold?

is there any way to facilitate a three way with SA and miami?
We get Collins SA get Herro and we get a bunch of picks from both teams?

fuck if. Biut to log onto the pc and startvworking up trades to try to put Collins and Claxton and a bunch of picks on this team for nurk and Dame.

can Collins and Claxton play together?

Scoot/Shae/Grant/Collins/Claxton?

 

Absolutely NO CHANCE of getting Sabonis. They just extended his deal as well.

 

Damn. He’d be a perfect pairing.

 

What if the player going out from Toronto was OG? Along with multiple picks, Boucher, Young, Porter?

 

Yeah. It isn't ideal but I would take OG and three 1sts and salary relief over the poo poo platter Miami is offering.

OG (as long as we can extend him) would fit nicely with Scoot and Sharpe.

 

I can't see okc trading him. If we are entering the wemby era, he is exactly the guy you want on your roster

 

I hadn't thought of Chet.

 

Jayson Tatum

 

Funnily enough, a Kenny Lofton killed Chet when he played him. Might want to get a low point of gravity type (Zbo) vs these guys.

 

I suspect it is more likely that Chet will get stronger than Lofton will get taller, so I am still on board the long, mobile guy to make our friend Wemby work.

 

Ben Simmons and 58 thousand draft picks.

 

My favorite trade Dame idea is Dame to Boston, Brown to Houston or OKC, and a bunch of picks/young players to us. I'd love to get Chet.

 

This Miami trade thing is bullshit.

If Dame has been paying attention, he can see the weak return you are facing when you don't have the ability to say No.
Dame wants out (supposedly) because Cronin didn't say "yes" to an obviously bad and maybe laughable trade offer. (If anything was available.)

I hope Cronin's plan is to wait until he gets a long list of draft picks instead of a few.

or what I really wish for, a up-and-coming player like Trey Murphy who could be a 3rd piece to making the Trail Blazers a nightmare on offense for opponents, immediately, not in 2-3 years.
