    The string puller is Dame, it would have to be an all star before Dames signs off on CJ trade. Every GM in the league would run a trade by Dame out of respect!

    Every GM that has a league or Finals MVP might run trades by their franchise player out of respect. Love Dame, but to be running trades by your franchise player who has yet to garner a Conference Finals win....might be too much respect given the results. That likely won't go over well with some.

    They might run things by him but I don't think that's how this shit works. GMs have to keep this stuff close the vest. If Neil talks to Dame every time he is intrigued by an offer for CJ and Dame and CJ are bffs. Might that effect CJ's game... knowing every time that a trade for him is considered?

    Again this just comes down to the completely baseless idea that players are GMs and shit like that. As far as who they want coming to their team goes... yeah, I think they have some serious pull. That's players incoming from free agency and trades. The idea that players leaving through trade are run past anyone on the roster is crazy.

    Anybody know if we're connected here at all? Seems like Neil should be looking at every opportunity...

    I would think every teams that has a super star would at least get feedback with regard to a huge trade. Im not talking all players or all trades, so you dont think Neil would run it by Dame if he had a good trade involving CJ? I guess it would depend on how if Dame said dont get me involved if you are dealing CJ, that your job mine is to play? I dont agree with players regardless of status being that influential but this isnt the game of old. Players are having much more pull and influence when they can, especially mega stars.
