    Bones -- Stop trying to talk sense to some of these clowns and if you do not like me calling you a clown stop acting like one -- simple ... problem solved -- I am at the point where manners and being polite are out the window with some of you.

    You thought I was being serious when I said that Shaedon came to us from the Clippers trade.

    It's seriously better than what they've been reported to be offering before and they still have to match contracts perfectly (within ~500k instead of 125% +100k) because of where their cap number is. So it can't just be Tyler Herro and the picks, they would need to add over 18M to match Dame but if they think we're taking Duncan Robinson's shitty contract they can get fucked.

    Most likely it needs to be a deal that sends Dame and Nurk to the them, sends Herro to a third team that can send the most value our way, sends Lowry's expiring contract here or preferably to a third team that can add value coming our way and still sends us JJJ and Jovic.

    That's the worst I would take if I were Cronin. Maybe Cronin will want to hold their feet to the fire about Martin but I'm not expecting that to pan out but the rest of it needs to be at least what we get back.

    I'm pretty sure @Ripcity4life77 is generally calling people clowns that disagree with Bones but it's poorly written so who could really know?

    You have to pay extra for punctuation on this forum. It's an upgrade. It's like service fees from Ticketmaster.

    The same guy that pretty much guaranteed that we were going to trade for Jaylen Brown?

    He brought up that Dame and Jerami were recruiting Brown to leverage the last year of his deal to get a trade to Portland, that Brown was unhappy in Boston, and assumed the front office wanted to trade the pick for him based on the messaging. None of that has been proven wrong other than thinking the front office would make that sort of move. Brown still hasn't signed his extension in Boston, and the rumblings of his unhappiness have always seemed legitimate. We haven't heard anything regarding the Blazers going after Brown and getting turned down, either.

    But we were legitimately worried about the front office going the youth route two weeks before the draft. Had a whole "depressing" stream about it.

    Also, thete were other people whispering the Brown stuff too.

    3 1s and Herro seems like it’s a Jovic or Jacques light imo.

    Trade him to Boston and make their competition infinitely better. That'll teach, Pat.
