    I think Portland keeping the pick is not the reason Dame would ask out, if he even does

    I think there's still a world where we keep the pick and still add enough talent to keep Dame happy.......... but that's assuming Joe can actually make some good trades.

    I know of two offers. Both crap

    I also know of four deals we proposed. Not crap. As I said in another thread, they are trying. Who knows what they end up with though

    Could literally have been a call from them. No idea how deep discussions were

    If I was Joe, and I saw their number come up on my caller ID, I would merely say the words "toradol" and then hang up.

    I can believe front offices are fishing. But for god-sakes, you need to use the right bait. Kuminga for #3 is like trying catch a marlin using a nightcrawler

    To be fair, this is the team that drafted Wiseman at 2 and then dumped him a few years later.

    I think what we will get is whoever the Nets draft at 21 and/or 22, Claxton and the expirings of McConnell and Harris along with some (2 or 3) future firsts. They'll take Dame and Nurk. I don't know if it will come to that but if we do draft Miller at 3 I think it will be a very hard sell to Dame. Not cashing in that very valuable chip for a player ready to play their best NBA ball right now while we know Dame is would have to be pretty fucking frustrating for Dame.

    Sharpe
    Scoot/Miller
    Claxton
    All those picks (Brooklyn has a ton)

    Great start to a rebuild. Really great start

    It's not an ideal situation for me because I want Dame to play every game of his career for our team but if we can't get a huge return for Ant and pick 3 then we really should move on and so should Dame.
