Can’t imagine Dame would balk at this. And Maxey is better than Herro https://x.com/thedunkcentral/status/1702348707469963600?s=46&t=I8WRmnAR65a6MfEmWt7IPg
Morey says no go on Maxey. Is he actually a PG or a high functioning combo guard who can initiate, run the offense, defend ... as well as his strong shooting? I don't know. But apparently Maxey is -- practically speaking -- untouchable. Portland has Scoot, Ant and Sharpe ... so a front court improvement seems the most logical approach. And to those who say that Portland isn't about winning right now -- that it's about talent acqusisition not fit -- I understand that idea. But it's Damian Frickin' Lillard and the LEAST a team getting him should do is fork over ACTUAL starting-quality-front-court-players with promise NOT what they could do in 2 years from 2 years!
We need PICKS, not more guards. I think Philly's picks are worse then Miami, pending the Heat throwing a 2025 pick in the deal.
What if Maxey says "Lakers only" ?? then we'd really be screwed clean slate, picks & young players only, no stars
Absolutely! I'd be willing to give up other assets for the right player, like a Mikal Bridges. (Yes, I know he's not available.) Go for it!
