    A while back (before the lottery, obvs) I said that the only way we should keep Dame is if we got Wemby. Well, with the idea that a Wemby-Dame pairing instantly makes you a contender, how about this?

    upload_2023-6-26_16-13-26.png

    Why would San Antonio do it? Because (a) they have a history of poaching our franchise players, (b) Dame is actually the kind of person their FO would absolutely love, (c) they've also got a history of pairing great players at least a decade apart and getting a championship out of it (see Robinson and Duncan), (d) they also have a history of rebuilding around a young star on the fly, and wouldn't be afraid of the After Dame times, and (e) Pop's not getting any younger - they would like to contend ASAP.

    The biggest barrier is probably that they really like Sochan. But so do I, so I want us to get him. He plugs multiple gaps in our lineup at once. And hey, the Spurs can probably get Grant when they get Dame, because we won't need him once Dame goes (or we can bundle him with Dame)

    So I'm curious..... we just assume that we want to move Herro if the Heat trade happens.

    Who would you rather have, Simons or Herro? Obviously one of them would have to go.

    Maybe it depends who the TWolves would prefer…Simons+ for Kat or Hero + for Kat?

    Simons

    Simons is cheaper and although not really a PG, he can fill in.
    Herro is all SG.....and has a negative wing span for his height (6'3") I don't want him at all

    If there's a more punchable face in the league than Herro's then I don't know it.

    If Dame is being moved, bring him to NYC!! Subway down the street from me goes right to Barclays Center.

    (lost my password again)

    Since Utah have Collins, could we get Markanen+ from Utah?
    Utah is one of the obvious destinations for Dame and Ainge has more balls than Cronin to built around Dame. How does Utah looks with chances to land him and contend?

    I'd rather have Lowry and Oladipo expirings.

    Let them keep OG but give us Barnes and one less swap.

    Chad and Dwight think NY makes sense.

    They certainly have a lot of picks. I wonder if we could send Brunson somewhere else.

    NYC loves Brunson (As in the city, the people). Going to be super hard for the Knicks to send him out after 1 year.

    No way in hell I’m sending him to the Knicks, and it’s 100% because of Steven A Wad.
