f COURSE Dame gets traded when I'm on a plane. Been on the phone constantly since landing. Good chance this deal gets a little bigger before it is finalized. Everyone in the East suddenly fighting for 2nd place.
Good thing Denny defragged the site last week. Can you imagine how many of our heads would be exploding trying to refresh the past couple hours?
Jrue + Rajon Rondo + E'Twaun Moore + the trapping of AD & Mirotic. It was a clinic and the Pels swept while basically ignoring CJ on defense
Can't be too mad at this trade, 1. Get three picks that could be very valuable right when our young guys are hitting their prime. 2. Get a young center that has had some issues but has talent. 3. Get a guy like Holiday that should be able to net another couple of pieces. 4. Dame gets to go somewhere and have a legit chance at a ring. 5. The Heat get NOTHING from Dame!
I graded it a B too just because there were literally no A like moves out there. A B is pretty much an A in this context, I suppose. There was no major haul anywhere so you cant grade it on impossibilities.
JRue always pissed me off because he always killed the Blazers. Always kind of liked Milwaukee. Glad Florida got shafted with their loser governor and loser team. Dame and Giannis won a ring together, then young Blazers in their prime.
It's difficult to know. I don't think the Blazers have yet given a clear picture all summer which way they want to go.
in 2030, when the Blazers have an unprotected swap with the Bucks, Dame will be 40; Giannis will turn 36; Middleton will be 41; Lopez will be 42; Connaughton will be 38; Ingles will be 43; Portis will be 35 Sharpe will be 27; Scoot will be 26; Ant will be 30; Ayton will be 31 both teams will be dramatically different. Yeah, the swap might not be worth much; but it might be worth a lot
yes. with the way this franchise is operated…. (but even then, I was still being mostly sarcastic. I don’t think PDX got enough out of this deal, but I also like picking up Ayton and dumping Nurk.)
