Hello, Do you know what that LEBRON message means at the end? I would be okay with that trade if Dame was.
LEBRON is the analytic they use on that site for measuring a player's statistical contribution, and they're just explaining what it is.
Thank you. I thought it might be some analytic based on Lebron James averages or something. Interesting it spells out the disputable GOAT.
And now I've edited the post with a cleaner snap without all the comments, so all this discussion is now moot.
Funny! I was sincerely asking because i also noticed it when i came up with a trade scenario and posted it. I had not seen it before, though generally have not used that site.
I want Dame to win a championship here. But if something comes along that makes it more likely we can improve on the 22 playoff wins in the last 10 years (average of 2.2 per season), I'm all for it. Blazers fan first.
What did Dame ever do to the franchise to get traded to the Wizards? That sends two signals...loyalty is worthless in the Blazers organization and if free agents want to come here, they won't anymore...undoing the biggest lobbyist we've ever had for recruiting talent. Talk about lousy timing
But...um... they already don't want to come here. So how would anything be any different in regards to free agents?
Maybe, but it sure doesn't make the Kings a contender. Why would Portland send Damian to NBA purgatory? The best play for all parties if they're looking to part is to wait to the trade deadline and move him to a contender who views him as the missing piece and solemnly accept a king's ransom back STOMP
I feel like Fox and 3 1sts isn’t much at all for Dame, if you’re the Kings. The Thunder would also essentially be only giving up a 1st for De’Aaron Fox. You’re also betting your future on one draft class. You don’t need a bunch of rookies all at once. I can do with #4 and #12, and take the SAC 2026 lotto protected 1st. Look at OKC, they basically have to wait for SGA to come of age to actually get into the playoffs. In that trade with the Kings and Thunder where Dame gets shipped, I need #4 and #12, the 2024 and 2026 SAC 1st, PLUS Davion Mitchell and Darius Bazley. That’s where I’d probably do it. But this season, I’m not interested in trading him unless he wants out.
If Dame wanted out I'd consider trading him for Giannis and if that didn't work I'd still keep him here.
when you have starting roster spots and cap space...they sure pay attention for an opportunity to play with Dame...without Dame...back to the Luke Babbit chalupa cheers.
The odds that any of those 4 picks lands a guy as good as Dame, as loyal as Dame, and with better leadership abilities than Dame is very low. We might was well be the OKC Thunder if we do that move. Hard pass.
Kevin Love was worth the #1 pick, and considered a better than average draft year. I'd say Dame is worth at least that if not more.
I'm not against trading Dame. But I'd think showing he is healthy first will get the Blazers the most value.
