    We won't be contenders with a Dame-CJ backcourt.

    Players with worse contracts have been traded.

    Let’s start with this: He suggested they trade Grant for Norm Powell, then says Grant doesn’t want to be the 4th option. He wants to be second.

    Did they forget about Dame / CJ / Ant and possibly Nurk?

    Pointless commentary.

    And if that is the case, we are in for more of the same. Mediocrity.

    I've been hoping for that for weeks. Okoro is high-upside and a great complimentary piece next to Dame/Simons. CJ for Love is a bad contract for a bad contract. CJ is the better player, Love expires a year earlier. I think it would be best to follow that deal with shipping Powell somewhere (I like the thought of packaging with a pick for Grant to make Dame happy), but we wouldn't have to.

    Lillard/Simons
    Powell/Okoro
    Little/Okoro
    Love/Nance
    Nurkic/Nance

    If we made a follow-up move

    Lillard/Simons
    Okoro/Simons
    Little/Grant
    Grant/Love
    Nurkic/Nance

    It would have some flaws, but I love that rotation. Dame/Simons are surrounded by length, athleticism, and decent big-man shooting.

    Morey is a genius though. Hopefully, he thinks that trading Ben to Portland would get the league off his back.

    well there's a reason why every casino is profitable.

    Fwiw, Lowe mentioned that another team that we haven't heard about in a while being back in the running for Simmons (that was in convos before).

    Trade Ant now.

    Trade CJ in the off-season.

    Win.

    on his pod with Marks yesterday, a throwaway comment mostly before predicting that no simmons deal happend before the deadline. 18 min mark.

    "I've been saying no (on a Simmons deal happening in the next two weeks) for a while now. A team that's been out of it could get back into it, but I'm not sure and won't name the team."
