    But were talking about winning it all and nothing less right? Seems straight forward to me. He missed almost as many games as he played never got out of the second round snd fleeced the team for a last contract.
    As you can probably tell, I am not a big Roy fan.

    Curry > Dame
    Klay >>>> Hart
    Wiggins > OG
    Draymond >> Grant
    Looney < Nurkic

    Golden State bench >>> Blazers bench

    They would still smoke us.

    I think he’s overrated and I get annoyed any time someone says we should retire his number, but he was rookie of the year and a three time Allstar. I don’t think that really fits the definition of a bust.

    So what you’re saying is that you’re on the trade Dame bandwagon?

    Anything is possible but how many Dame level players have been drafted since his draft?

    I don't think any of the players in this draft will be at that level.

    I did say I would be ok with taking Sharpe. He will be good. Dame good? No.

    Also, why would you trade a top 10 pick for a player who can't stay healthy? Personally, I would rather off-load Nurk and Nas than add another player like OG who can't stay on the court!

    Ja Morant, Embiid, Jokic, Kat, Booker, Jayson Tatum, Luka Doncic, Trae Young, Anthony Edwards, Lamelo Ball, giannis.

    Some of these aren't at his level yet. Some are on their way. This doesn't include people like Jaylen Brown, Zach Lavine etc.

    There usually is at least a few all stars in every draft. You just have to draft right.

    Thing is, there have been players drafted since his draft.

    Luka, Trae, Ja, just to name three. Anthony Edwards is a good player too.

    You don't know if Sharpe (or anyone) "will be" Dame good.Remember, the biggest reason why the Nets made the trade was because their GM (etc) didn't think there would be anyone in that draft (at their position) that would be as good as Gerald Wallace.

    That's some bullshit lmao. That's almost to the level of the dude predicting the cubs winning the 2016 championship.


    Quick, say something about us winning it all!
