    We wouldn't. Maxey would go somewhere else, kinda like if we traded for Heroo.

    Why would anyone think that adding another 6’2 guard would be the sweetener that would get Cronin to part with Dame? Has any national commentator actually looked at the Blazers roster?

    You guys are assuming that Maxey would end up a Blazer.

    Not me. I'm assuming we would get a haul that was everything us and the Sixers could find for both of them. I think if the Sixers came to us with that offer, if Dame wants out, our front office and theirs would get on the phones with everyone and figure out the best possible haul and then make a decision on if it was good enough for us.

    I firmly believe that if Dame wanted out Grant wouldn’t have his new contract.

    It’s still not too late to sign Steve Blake to the MLE.

    Just a shame we can’t pay him in peanuts.

    (Nothing against Steve Blake)

    I don't necessarily think that's true.

    If we go into next season and Simons is still here and we don't add anyone else significant..... how is Dame going to be happy about that?

    I dunno. I mean, there was talk that Grant was considering going back to Detroit. Pretty sure dude just wanted to get paid.

    I'm cap dumb; could Grant's resigning be the first half of a S&T?

    No. If it was a sign-and-trade I don't think he could get the 5th year.

    But, the Blazers would have paid him if Dame was leaving.

    I guess it just depends on whether Joe would have let Grant walk for nothing and lose the assets that we used to get him.

    Only if he agrees to it. Otherwise, not likely. Teams usually tell you in advance that it is S&T. If he agreed for the contract, there is 3 months (or Dec 15 earliest, I believe) until he can be traded.

    So, they need to agree to a S&T, since the team/agent did not announce it, assume it was not the case.
