If you were GM, what would you do:

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

    The only reason this choice is being discussed is because of Dame… it’s his comments that suggest he would want to be traded if we keep the pick. The sad thing is, any potential trades would probably take a year or two to gel and build chemistry. In that same time, the #3 pick can get some good experience and development to contribute significantly. Dame is forcing the teams hand. And to think Dame didn’t play a role in not trading his best friend CJ when we should have is naive. That was our biggest trade chip for most of Dame’s prime.

    You don’t like threads that debate one of the biggest decisions in team history, that all the national media is taking about as well?

    Really? A other thread saying the same stuff as half the other threads?
    Yeah this was needed.
    Im back in the “merge threads” camp now.

    Now time for me to starts some threads.

    Lets see…

    Is there a Dame sucks thread? Nope. Ill create one.

    Is there a Dames overated thread? Nope. Ill create one.

    Is there a “if you don't like this thread, dont open it” thread? Nope. Ill create one.


    This place sometimes… lol. Its like the boomerang show….

    Not censoring if what is being said has already been said many many times. Its more like an eyeroll… heeere we go again…..
    Its where we voice our opinions. Not whether we do or not.

    but i get it. He who screams the loudest gets heard the most right?

    This just feels like an argument that Neil should be tarred and feather for wasting the prime of a top 75 player. You have oversimplified the situation.

    Top 75 player (on the downside of his career) or a top 3 pick (in a really good draft.)

    Not all drafts are created equal and Dame won't be a superstar for a lot longer. It's like you guys think Dame will play at a high level for another 10 years. The guy is already showing signs of slowing down. He can't stay healthy. He used to be an iron man.

    I feel like the poll is misleading. I know where the poll-maker's sympathies lie (it's obvious from the inclusion of Dame's age) but it still skews in favor of keeping Dame because people are free to put any fanciful trade they want in there. "Obviously we should keep Dame because we're getting Bridges/Brown/Siakam/Paul George!" No we're not. OG Anunoby maybe.

    oh there are more. Just added another. Ill call it at three though.
    Its not about being bothered bro. Its about limited time on here. If you are simply going to regurgitate the same stuff already beeing said and discussed, why not do it in one of the existing threads focused primarily on this topic, vs creating a new thread for clicks? Of which tou have to enter and not ignore(@Natebishop3 ) to confirm its the same ole shit. By then its too late.

    Im not saying dont voice your opinion. But maybe put more consideration as to how and when.
    Thats all.

    So you think this topic doesn’t deserve its own thread… just some random mentions in other threads?

    Something tells me you didn't actually open or read the other threads. First one i posted is specifically about not trading ant and ends with we should trade Dame. That was the op.

    Random?
    hardly. Im iust paying more attention than you it seems.

    So this topic doesn’t deserve it’s own thread and central location for all fans to see because you read every post in every other thread and it’s been mentioned before… ok, got it.

    How is this thread any different then the one you started the other day, besides you added a poll? You even started both threads with the exact same line. " He will be 33 to start the season"?

    Because the sign of a bad poll is a vote split down the middle?
