shit kitty. Where you been, FAMS? you had a litter and too busy for this riff raff )I haven’t been around much, so maybe you’ve been here, but I haven’t seen you).
https://www.theringer.com/nba/2023/...-trade-request-portland-trail-blazers-options "Lillard wants to go to the Miami Heat to compete for a title with Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler. Will Dame end up where he wants? Miami’s best offer could look something like this: Heat Receive: Damian Lillard Jusuf Nurkic Blazers Receive: Tyler Herro Kyle Lowry Jaime Jaquez Jr. Nikola Jovic 2028 first-round pick 2029 pick swap 2030 first-round pick This would go down as one of the worst trades in NBA history. There’s no big lump of draft picks like the Nets received for Kevin Durant or the Jazz did for Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, and no key young players like the Pelicans got for Anthony Davis or the Thunder got for Paul George. If Portland’s game plan is to appease Lillard rather than build a solid foundation for his successor, Scoot Henderson, then by all means, accept Miami’s best offer. But if the Blazers take the deal, then Pat Riley should be wearing a ski mask and driving a getaway car, because it would be grand larceny on a scale that even Danny Ocean would admire."
I think Amico is definitely a hack, but I think Amick is generally okay in that sense, though I often disagree with his takes. Kind of a tier 2 reporter and news breaker behind woj, shams, windy, etc.
PG got traded for SGA and 5 1s, I would expect the same. If we get less than Utah got for Rudy we will be a laughing stock again.
I also like this BKN direct haul I will just do thumbnails: Brooklyn gets Dame AND Simons (oh I love this part) We get Ben Simmons - he can play point forward as a facilitator, or as the primary ball handler off the bench, or he's just a MASSIVE expiring that might net a 1st in 2025, it's up to him if he wants to try and actually be a player in this league again. Spencer Dinwiddie (expiring and might net us a first at the deadline) Royce O'Neale (expiring) Noah Clowney 6'10" PF Noah Clowney a one time lottery pick according to many scouts who slipped out of the lottery. Dariq Whitehead a 6'7" Rookie SF PHX 2025,27, and 29 1sts Philadelphia's 2027 1st Dallas 2029 1st Nets 2029 1st
I just prefer a pick and roll screener with exceptional court vision, passing and ball handling skills.
