Who else besides the Current MVP?
You would have to think long and hard about Doncic.
If a legit poverty franchise like New Orleans or Minnesota offered us a billion unprotected picks and swaps id be like, “alright morons.”
Most definitely not getting any of them, but just saying no one is “untouchable” to me.
I mostly agree with this sentiment.
Yeah, in the post you're responding to I say that Dame isn't bigger than the team and talk about first exhausting all of our resources to put the best roster around him possible (fit and talent). If you think we've already exhausted all possibilities to win one with Dame then you should want to move on. I just don't think we've come close to trying to build a team around Dame that makes sense. I also look at the Rockets and Thunder and think that they didn't get anything close to equal value even in futures for the superstars they traded.
Agreed, he isn't bigger than the team so if someone blew us away with an offer that would be stupid to refuse then we would have to say goodbye to Dame but like you said that's not at all likely to be happening.
This sounds like @AldoTrapani so Dame suffers his first major injury and he's over the hill. If you didn't see the games in which the cortisone shot numbed the injury, you should go back and watch them because Dame was as dominant offensively as anyone in the league in those games. Oh and Dame is a PG, look at his assist numbers... he does score a lot but he facilitates the offense for other players at a very elite level. I have no idea where you get him being an SG and he's actually only 6'2". If you think it's too late to win with Dame, I disagree with you but that's fine but so much that you said about why it's a good idea to trade him now doesn't make sense. Also look at what OKC and Houston have instead of the superstars that they traded away... that's not what I want.
I think Powell will have great value with a lot of teams around the league if he's someone we want to cash in on. It just depends on if you see him as the best back court mate for Dame. I don't feel that way anymore. I think he is actually a better scorer than he is a defender and he is a solid defender but Dame really needs an elite defender next to him but maybe they could settle into something much better than what we've seen in spot minutes if they were consistently starting at the 1 and 2 for a while. I wouldn't give Powell away by any means but I would take a better fit if there is one or if he's part of a deal that lands us a legit star.
Alright... I thought a guy who is constantly in the top 10 in assists per game could also pass. I also didn't know that being able to score the ball precluded you from being a point guard or CP3 had exclusivity on the title. I also think that the fact that Dame sets up the offense on the vast majority of plays that he's in would also make him more of a point than an off guard. I mean seriously give me a break, Dame is a point guard and I don't think that is even disputed outside of this strange exchange.
