    you do understand there really isn't much difference between 5 pages of 20 posts, 4 pages of 25 posts, 2 pages of 50 posts, or 1 page of 100 posts.

    100 posts is still 100 posts

    Dame didn’t stick Portland with anything. The Monday before free agency it was wildly reported he asked for a trade then Cronin asked for a few more days.

    Portland took it upon themselves to signed Grant full well knowing Dame could ask out.

    Stop pushing this silly narrative

    Did Dame honestly think that? Or maybe did he play along nice with that extreme long shot possibility to first secure the biggest bag possible planning all along to later force his way out to greener pastures alla James Harden or Kyrie?

    People & organizations tend to look out for their own best interests and it sure seems thats what all have done. Again, I don't think Joe survives if he preemptively trades Dame. Dame likely gets significantly less $$$ if he doesn't tell the organization what they want to hear too. The organization loses it box office draw (major $$$) if it moves Dame preemptively and alienates many more in the fanbase then letting Dame make the request. The way things have transpired, Portland has likely already added a couple big pieces for their rebuild and next will get to add to that with the expected return from Dame. Things have actually broken well for them.

    I don't believe you are being realistic. This seems straight forward and many here have grasped the dynamics in play.

    Marang said that the word around Vegas was that Jarrett Allen is gettable. He thinks that Allen would be intriguing if the Cavs could be worked into the deal.

    He also said that Keldon Johnson is gettable on San Antonio. So I'm wondering if we could make something like this happen....
