    Yeah cause Dame and Nurk is championship worthy after AD leaves but Dame and AD cant win a championship? Sorry but AD is on a completely different level then Nurk ever will be and I like Nurk.

    Well, we don't have Tatum, we have CJ. And with our team so delicate as it is, we need the few good players we have here. Selling two high players to get a one year rental that won't get us to a Championship and then leaves us high and dry with a 30 year old All Star doesn't strike me as a winning strategy.

    Nobody is comparing the two. But do you want 3 high ranked players, or 2?

    I’m getting the same feeling I get every year again where we’re either going to do nothing, or something really dumb. I love it!

    At least we got Hood?

    Morris would have fit well here. The Summer of 2016 continues to constrict this franchise.

    This is probably true, but wont stop me from wanting it to happen. Ill stop at noon tomorrow or when they trade him to the Lakers for way less then what the Blazers could offer.

    On NBA XM radio today on my drive home I heard the Raptors and Grizz where talking Marc Gasol and Mike Conley for Kyle Lowry and Jonas Valanciunas.

    What about a top 5 guy, top 10 guy, and top 10 Center? Why not AD, Dame, and Nurk, vs AD/Dame?

    And we're right back to square one when Davis leaves: who do we rebuild around?

    I can tell you rebuilding around Nurk and Dame would be a lot easier than rebuilding around just Dame.

    And looking at it even deeper: would Dame want to stay here and rebuild at that age? Or would he seek a supermax elsewhere?

    And if he left, we'd be lucky to compete with the Knicks and Suns.

    I'm looking at each potential step long term. I encourage everyone else to do the same. Yes, it's a lot of "what ifs", but that is what you have to consider when this kind of implication is at stake.
