    Makes no sense

    What do we do with TPE? Every name being floated isn't good enough for our precious lottery team.

    I agree. Right now, I think he stays until at least the deadline. By then, IF Dame gets traded, we’d be walking into the Post-Dame era with Shae, Scoot, another lotto pick, and multiple future 2027-2029 1sts. That’s a strong foundation to start with, better than the Rockets or Pistons. The Rockets tanked a full year before landing Green, the Pistons longer than that for Cade I think.

    Grant wouldn’t be un-moveable, and it wouldn’t be crazy to just run it back with Scoot, Sharpe, Kris, Grant, Nurk and see if they can make a run. Grant and Nurk sits if we are out of the running. Shaedon’s rookie extension doesn’t kick in until 2026-27, which by then, Grant is an expiring that we can easily move.

    Scoot, Shaedon, our own 2024 lotto, possibly more lotto talents between now and 2026–I don’t see why we couldn’t be contenders by then. It would be really great to have Scoot and Shaedon in their early 20s with multiple players we can add in the draft for the duration of the rookie extensions.

    Here's an idea
    We trade Dame to Warriors, they trade us Looney and Wiggins and send Chris Paul to Philly. Philly sends James Harden to another team and we get to choose from whatever they're offering. Also could see Nurkic going to one of these teams to get more cap room for us in this trade

    Do you honestly think GS wants to pay 100 million/yr for Steph and Dame to play next to each other?

    MJ didn't make varsity until his Junior year in HS and wasn't thought of as a top prospect entering into his Senior year. Going into his Freshman year at Wake, Tim Duncan was thought of as the least promising of their 4 incoming Freshman. Maybe the 2024 & 5 drafts will suck as badly as you are speaking about them, but it's also quite possible things change. Most guys are still going through lots of physical transformations at that age and many of the all time greats were late bloomers.

    Joe Harris trade to Detroit gives the Nets a $19.9 million trade exception. Guess it makes something like this possible if we ever move on to trading Dame. Jody probably loves the idea of saving ~25 million

    The crazy thing is look at the Nets' trade exceptions. They already had one for over 18.1M for the KD trade.

    IF Lillard asks out (only if) then I do think the Nets have enough ammo to appease POR. I would ask for Cam in addition to a shit ton of picks. But also not against Simmons provided he came with Cam or more picks.

    Yeah I guess when you break up a team with one of the highest payrolls in the league you collect a few of those.

    I'd tend to think they just let them expire though. Its one thing to pay a massive $100million + luxury tax bill when you think Durant can have you contend. Its another thing when Bridges is your best player and your not certain to make the playin.

    Cam situation needs to be resolved first since he is a free agent in 3 hours.

    I tend to think a sign and trade with the Nets or Heat for Ant makes a ton of sense. We can also sell it to those teams with the idea Ant is a guy we would be very interested in coming back to the Blazers if we later on explore Lillard trades.

    Would the rumors that Miami is not offering enough money to retain Gabe Vincent or Strus make it more likely they are positioning to trade for Dame or less likely?

    I'm not sure who would want Herro... I don't want him ever wearing a Blazer jersey if we end up having to take the Miami trade.

    Seems like this is best case on Miami... and then we have to send out Herro to someone else.

    Rather do the Nets.

    Sixers suck unless they can trade Harden and Maxey for some assets.
