If you were GM, what would you do:

  1. Trade Dame, start the rebuild around Simons, Sharpe, and #3 Pick (Scoot or Miller)

    such nonsense.

    for a guy who talks so much about respect and humility, he has taken steps i never expected him to this offseason. definitely left a sour taste in my mouth.

    if he wants out, act mature and request it. dude signed a 5 yr supermax last yr. have some respect to the fans at least even if you don't care about the org. we've literally worshipped the guy for a decade.

    Highkin is definitely my favorite local reporter. Least colored reported. Some info here:

    1.) Dame and his camp were not happy we used the pick.

    2.) Pelicans were trying to get Scoot for 14 + picks + Murphy. Highkin specifically mentioned Murphy. That is something I would have considered, but I understand why the FO would not.

    He also mentioned that it's a 6 month trade restriction for Dame, so he could be traded today, not July 9th @wizenheimer

    What the fuck, what’s nonsense is your take with those other two posters that liked your post.

    The man got trolled while being live by the DJ, he had no control of that and that’s why he was laughing about it.

    Salty fan you are, after all these years Dame has showed us what he is about, and you just dismiss that because of song that was playing in the background he had no control of.

    sad sad take

    funny that’s who I wanted with the 23rd pick. When I saw Miami take him I figured he’d be included in any Dame to Miami trade

    Dame should realize that all of his bitching and moaning about wanting help lowered the value of that pick. Trade for fucking Murphy? Fuck me what deal!

    Getting a little frustrated with Dame at the moment.

    He should be telling the press how happy he his with the picks and not complaining (even if he feels differently).

    I am sure he signed off on Nurk and Ant getting overpaid. Why didnt he put his foot down and tell Joe to let them walk? Surely he could have done that.

    His buddy Grant is a 3rd-4th option on a Ring team and that refuses to fucking board. So was that really what Joe should have done? Sign your friend?? Joe, at Dame's behest, will give him a huge deal that is also probably a bad move fit-wise.

    This response to the tweet is very odd.

    Wrong, even, given Dame had nothing to do with that song being played.

    Weird. I swear that I just heard it was a one year restriction from him when he went on RCR.

    Dame always preaches he wants to stay here, wants to retire here, etc. Yes he has much pressure on the organization to go get a winning team and rightfully so. But the media is spnning shit man.

    In the same interview about Miami being a team he would go to if he was traded, it was a question he was asked. He also said that he wants to stay here and retire a blazer in the same interview, but the media wont show that, they will just edit the Miami clip and get the media drama going, that's what they do best.

    So don't be a sucker for the media

    And he said that last summer Toronto wanted Hart/7/future picks for OG.

    Other GMS think they can just walk all over us.

    That will only change if Joe proves he will walk away.

    He didn't trade 7 and Hart for OG. He didn't trade 3 and Sharpe for Zion, so I believe he HAS shown he'll walk away.

    well, I was repeating what Woj, Fisher, and the guys at the RealGM CBA rules forum said. And I wasn't the only one saying July 10. I didn't say it until after I saw several people who usually know more about the CBA said it

    maybe it was wrong, but I know that national media wasn't taking queue's from me. I even saw Woj repeat that in one of his interviews 2 or 3 weeks ago...or maybe it was Fisher

    the Pels reportedly offered the same deal to Charlotte...the SAME DEAL. How did Dame saying some things drop the value of Charlotte's 2nd pick?

    CJ-is-Gone pointed out that Highkin is wrong

    Dame is a designated veteran who signed an extension:
