There's a decent chance (~30%) other teams will be saying the exact same thing about Dame's contract in ~3 years...
Why do you think Bridges doesn't want to be there? Who cares if the Net's want to go down a mediocre path. Portland has been blazing that trail...
Who is a better trading partner? Milwaukee - No picks Boston - already loaded in back court (No need for a Point Guard in Dame) Philly - No picks...

Brooklyn has 2 picks this year, so the trade CAN happen prior to the draft. And Portland isn't 'trading FOR' Simmons. He's strictly salary ballast....
I think you & I are in the same page, but I think Portland could squeeze more out of the trade: Dame Nurk (into TPE) Walker Simmons Claxton (into...
Completely agree. But Im not sure he would bring in a top coach
Im assuming that you think Dame can't be traded until December because of his contract extension? He signed it last July - so he should be trade...
Assuming that 1) Ant is used an a major piece/salary ballast in acquiring these players, and 2) Grant is kept -> Which lineup is best: 1) Dame,...
He's very similar to Grant in skill set, but just a lot better player. In an ideal world - we can use Grant in a S&T (or a standard trade in...
I agree with you here. If the pick is >5, Siakam is a good choice. I would prefer to include Orlando with Ant going there for #12 & cap space....
A lot of the top players will suffer an ankle sprain a couple of days before the combine.
Winning doesn't cure all. He's still coming off the bench - but he's not living in Portland. From what I understood, that was THE primary factor...
Agreed. I think Hart is a slightly better defender 1v1. Also, part of defending is grabbing the damn rebound. Hart is >>> Grant in that aspect.
If there is a way to get Butler to Portland, we need to do it. He is elite.
Only after they sign. Rookie contracts can't be traded until 30 days after they are signed. Sign ~July 2 Trade ~ August 2
This year with Wemby -> the team with the 5th best odds. With a draft class like 2013 -> the 10th seed.
Yes - he is.
Brooklyn would/should be the target. They have lots of draft capital now (from Durant trade) & Dame would fit really nice with their roster. Dame...
Agreed. No Brown, yes to Siakam
