We got the #3 pick. Discuss the possibilities.

LOL! Nice job by Cronin putting Miami on notice about messing with Dame.

 

Apparently we'd also give up 3 for Paul George.

Basically every stat is worse in playoffs

 

That detail threw me off. Bam, yeah. PG, not for #3

 

Made me cringe at the thought

 

I am, and don’t call me Shirley

 

Also Fischer name dropped Paul George. This is the first time I've heard us linked to PG, even if not directly. You best believe Fischer threw his name in there on purpose.

Clippers would be stupid not to take Simons/3 for PG, but I think they're destined to run that team back until PG and Kawhi are done.

 

They got to the finals with him as the anchor of their defense. He is the sole reason why their zone was so effective. Not sure how you got "abused" from that.

 

Simons + 3 for George would not be an intelligent move on our part.

 

And the Blazers finished 13th. Does that mean no one should want Dame?

 

Boy are you in for a ride.

People really don’t want to hear about how wings are what win championships.

 

It's got more upside than most of the other options.

Not saying I would prefer it, but have to take risks.

 

I prefer Siakam + OG. Or Siakam + 14

 

Yeah he carried them on his back. Only 'abuse' I saw was from shoulda been 3x MVP Jokic.

 

I know. The undersized non defense playing ball dominant guard makes WAY more sense

 

This is nothing new, and basically useless rehash. It's basically morning wood.

 

Actually, this is a nice way of telling Miami, you are maxed out with a team that went far, but you are not going over the hump with a team that has Bam and Jimmy Buckets. Honestly, do we believe that team would have gone over a healthy Bucks team? (I don't). Maybe they make Riley think - is Scoot (if he is there), the next Wade like cornerstone?

I loved everything that Miami has done, but without another real shot creator and size, I do not think they would have gone over any of the last 4 or 5 championship teams. So, realistically, even a Dame trade for Duncan Robinson and poo-poo platter is not enough, imho (simply because of how much they need to give up).

I think Miami is not giving up Bam, but maybe, if Miami's next season is not going well and all of a sudden Jimmy looks bad or is hurt, they rethink it.

 

You're not getting both Siakam + OG. Siakam + 14 maybe?? But it's Masai we're talking about here.

I don't even know how we salary match Siakam + OG.

 

There are a handful of possible trades that would make me find a new team to be a fan (not really, but you get the point) and this is one of them.

Stay away from Kawhi, PG and Zion.
