It's for when the original band is tanking for a lottery pick. This thing is kinda like summer league.
My point was not what makes sense competitively or what the fans want, it's what's most profitable and breeds the most loyalty for ownership. Keeping Dame was always the best choice for them. And trading him does not guarantee a ring. We probably would stand a better chance of winning one with him than without him.
was at trader joes near NYC today wearing my pinwheel hat and the cashier felt compelled to console me. he revealed he was a Kings fan and said fans of small market teams have to stick together. for fucks sake.
Doesn’t make sense. We aren’t taking Herro and I don’t see why we would let them keep Jaquez and Martin.
If Dame were to come out and say "This is where i want to be, i want to mentor Scoot" and try to win a championship. You absolutely take him back. No questions asked.
No chance we'd take on Duncan Robinson. Herro would go to a 3rd team. I think we'd take Lowry's expiring. I think there's a chance we'd take Herro though, then eventually trade either Herro or Simons. Maybe start sharp at SF for now....
It could make sense as the Heat’s part of the deal if a third team gets involved, takes Herro and Duncan, and gives the Blazers a player or two that they want. I don’t know about the 4 firsts though. I thought they could only come up with 3.
If Dame were Chris Paul, keep him around to get some reps and show him some tricks. I have no interest in Scoot Henderson learning to play PG in the same style as Damian Lillard, and obviously, he doesn't have the skill set even to try. As for leadership on the floor, it appears that Scoot has that figured out and needs to be Scoot. Defensively...Yeah, no. Not sure a player on his level, who is already working with Steph Curry and coached by Chauncey Billups would have to learn from Damian. It would more likely hinder his development.
yeah, that doesn't make any sense at all. Heat wouldn't have 4 first round picks send out. The swaps were just listed to make it look like a better package And Miami will have to come up with more. They are trying so hard to not trade Martin and Jaquez WHILE dumping Robinson. Fuck that noise
yeah, the Heat guy is just trying to make it seem Miami is giving up a lot by making the picks and swap list longer. Right now, Miami has two first round picks
We better be taking Lowry and not Duncan Robinson in any deal that MIA puts out. Send them Keon if they need more salary to make it work. I just don't see it with that guy.
If this is the Heat's final offer, I think the odds of Dame going to Miami are decreasing. The Blazers don't want Herro and I don't think they want Robinson. Heat keep pushing this "we'll give you stuff we don't care about and spare parts for a difference-maker." Then you read the comments and see Heat fans melting down that they'd have to give this up. They contradictorily want Dame because they say he's the piece that puts them above and beyond anyone else in the East and maybe the league while he's also too old and on a bad contract that makes him unworthy of giving up anything of value. I've seen some homer fanbases before, but I can't recall ever seeing one that both talks up and talks down players they're trying to acquire (or players they're trying to use to acquire that player) to rationalize the idea of an insanely imbalanced trade.
