Not a big Jaylen Brown guy. Better than whatever Miami is offering though. The idea of Dame going there and causing a fuss Kyrie style until he somehow lands in Miami is pretty funny though.
That the Lakers, in a round-a-bout kind of way, improve their roster on the cheap as a result of all of this - just pours salt into the wound. . .
I think we could get serious value for Brown in moving him elsewhere, avoiding having to pay him the supermax and dealing with his desire to be the center of a team's offense (if that's really an issue, as has been hinted). Houston may be willing to give up some juicy pieces to take Jaylen, where he'd been rumored to have interest before, as an example.
When AD did it he at least had actual leverage being that he only had the year left on his deal. Dame doing it somehow feels far more petty and desperate.
Yes. Don't set an example for Shaedon and Scoot. Look guys, play well, get the bag, demand a trade and I will grant it
The general feeling I get from scouring national media is of incredulity at Goodwin's comments and Dame's demands to go to one team. If this is the worst they can do, Joe comes out ahead in both public perception and in negotiation. Now the tricky thing is tactfully reengaging other teams. I don't have confidence in Cronin to do this but let's see
Yea have all of July, August & September for an equitable trade to happen. People need to cool their jets.... Dame and Joe need to take a 2 week vacation, and all us forum freaks need to calm down, and tune out the noise and be optimistic and less judgmental. No need to take prisoners or become tribal.
Funny thing is, the guy I want most from their team in a Dame trade (Brogdon), is the most gettable guy.
I say bring him off the bench to backup scoot. Tell him that’s what’s happening till he expands his list.
They got nothing for Vince and at the end of the day he won jack shit in New Jersey, now he's retired and though they've softened up on him a bit, he was getting booed mercilessly for years. I was in Toronto during that primo pasta era of Raptors ball. So I guess it's the aftermath that I see a comparison to. I can't imagine Dame letting rebounds pass by out of bounds like Vince was doing. He would pass up dunks on fast breaks. It was insane actually.
Couldn't Miami try to route Herro to Utah and use Ainge's picks as sweetner in a 3rd team deal? Herro seems like an Ainge type player.
i want to see trail blazers fans on the streets burning dame lillard jerseys (also, dont give him a tribute video when he comes back and boo him whole game every game) people lose loved ones and carry on with life, thats what were gonna do after he gets traded
Bro, what? Dame was the only guy that wanted to stay with our shitty franchise. For that, I’m always 100% thankful. I hope to see him back winning a ring so he can get a statue outside Moda.
