    So NO gets a SG that wouldn’t pair well with Jrue in the starting lineup(both at over 25 mil per), a horrible contract, a huge question mark, and 3 1s in the late 20s?

    Why is this better than what the lakers are offering or what Boston could easily offer?

    If AD left I’m guessing we would start the rebuild around whoever we got for Dame, you think a 29-30 year old Dame would take the Max to be part of a rebuild?

    Also if you got AD/Dame vets would come, and they’d come cheap.

    I hate that the Blazers aren't involved but this is crazy and awesome how much movement there's been in the last day

    What is Harrison Effing Barnes worth? IDK, but it's apparently a lot less than his salary....

    Id want to give 28-29 year old Dame the best shot of winning you can, building around AD and Dame is way easier than Dame / CJ and Nurk as evidenced by AD and Co beating them in the playoffs 4-0. If AD leaves its also the year half your team is FA’s you can rebuild you’re going to have to anyways. If they do get to them WCF or something your chances of keeping AD go up.
    Would I put Nurk on the table to start? no way, but if they played hardball for him Id do it.

    Blazers don’t have enough for Davis. Can we stop the pipe dream already.

    Because CJ alone is better than any of those clowns being offered in LA.

    New Orleans does have some leverage, in that they are fielding offers from several teams. They may be "insane not to take" a Cj/Collins/Simons/picks offer, but they do have the option to do exactly that, and demand more (ie Nurk).

    Were that to occur, we'd be better served to take the offer than to attempt to play hardball

    Then have fun rebuilding around a 30 year old Dame and a skeleton crew. You think our playoff record of first round exits is bad now.......

    I’d take Tatum over CJ in a heartbeat and it’s been reported no C’s are off limit in AD discussions.

    Yeah wel No shouldve thought of that a long time ago, fact its very very Unlikely your offer of ET would be something that they’d even consider.
