    Be real man, at no point is Miami going to say "Hey we don't need Dame anymore, we're good enough." They know they need Dame to put them over the top.

    Also, young player to the league like Jovic and Jaime are going to need time to adjust to the league. Waiting to see how they look at the beginning isn't telling of how they'll be as players in the long run.

    He's looking pretty good out there.

    17 points in 23 minutes. Miami's asking price going up. Now Shae has to be included for them to deal Jovic to us.

    I’ve said since this shit show started that he was the one Cronin and Schmitz wanted. Nice offensive player

    If they see Jaquez and Jovic play likr rookie of the year and MIP, they may not want to trade them for Dame and we would want them for Dame.

    This reminds me of the thought process when Meyers Leonard was a restricted free agent. Some Blazer fans said we needed to max him because he's a 50/40/90 future Dirk.

    Comparing the two is asinine

    I'm just concerned that he's too one-dimensional. He'd be fine as a backup stretch four, but I'm not sure I see much more than that.

    I don’t think he’ll ever be confused with Dennis Rodman, but he’ll end up around 6/7 rpg

    One dimensional like Rashard Lewis or Peja Stojakovic? I could live with that.

    Update from Marc J. Spears

    Marc J. Spears on the likelihood of a Dame-to-Miami trade: “I’m feeling some optimism that this will get done before [training] camp”


    Regardless of the NBA’s [memo], I think the NBA at large has so much respect for this Top-75 player [Lillard].. that other teams are like “we’re gonna lay off.”

    I do know that I’ve heard a couple times that Jayson Tatum tried to talk to him and get into his ear about trying to get him to Boston.. But, from what I hear, Dame is steadfast on South Beach.

    It’s starting to feel like it’s going to happen. It will likely include other teams.. I’m feeling some optimism that this will get done before [training] camp

    I bet other teams didn't want Anthony Davis or Paul George so they just "laid off" because when you respect a top 10 player you therefore don't try to trade for him. GTFOH Spears!

    Spears comment about being surprised about the shade thrown at Herro.....was he talking about other teams not being willing to obtain him for an asset.... or why the Blazers don't want him? Clearly, the Blazers, with an abundance of shooting guards, has been explained hundreds of times why there needs to be a 3rd team.

    So the rest of the league has so much respect for Dame that they won't trade for him, yet they won't help him obtain his wish by taking Herro for a 1st round pick?

    I just watched that 65 movie about crash landing on dinosaur planet. It had gross scenes, look away if trying to eat & watch moments. Kinda dry & boring, his rifle looked like a nerf gun. But it had a part where I was laughing my ass off!

    I could definitely go for this if we get 3 picks plus swaps as well. Let Riley do all the legwork.
