    The biggest potential benefit this year with signing Dame is.....Jerami Grant. He will have a much better willingness to accept any role needed.

    Have him train with Dame. Dame training a busted achilles is probably more hardcore than any kid's workout routine anyway. Dame's been a full-grown man the entire time he was in the NBA; he'll have some good pointers.

    Super idea....I could see Dame giving him boxing lessons. And think of the additional endorsement opportunities for the two of them in Asia.

    I just have one request: Can all of the Dame threads be merged into a massive single one so we can finally kill @THE HCP 's Carmelo thread as the most massive in the history of the board? Oh, and please add an out of focus picture of Dame or two.

    Yeah but.... you know a superstar, or at the very least a star. Do we have one?

    Look at the West:

    OKC - SGA and Williams
    Rockets - Durant/Sengun/Amen?
    Lakers - Luka and LeBron
    Nuggets - Jokic
    Clippers - Kawhi/Harden/Beal (lol)
    TWolves - Edwards/Gobert
    Warriors - Curry and Butler
    Grizzlies - Ja and JJJ
    Kings - Sabonis (lol)
    Mavs - Kyrie/AD/Flagg
    Suns - Booker
    Blazers - ???

    Mos def no. Don’t go all in. You go all in when you have a mvp type player. POR doesn’t have anyone that is even close. Keep drafting.
