The NBA is so fricked. This guy is under contract through 23/24. I doubt he would even walk away from the player option at that age. He should have no damn control.
What is the point of signing a contract?

quote:Still the longest of long shots but the Portland GM had an absolute train wreck of a presser today that can't make Dame happy.
Today on Jake’s podcast he talks about Dame and his “cryptic” Instagram post.
- He called out Dame for going public with wanting Kidd to be the coach
- He called out Stotts, stating they didn't lose due to roster, making it clear it was coaching
- He said whatever coach comes in needs to be able to fix the defense with limited to no roster changes

Also talked up how good they've been the last 8 years, basically suggesting this ain't his fault.
And also said it's been tough without draft picks... The ones that he traded.

I mean, the playoff series loss is clearly Dame's fault for not scoring 50 every game.

He's got 3 more years on his contract but I'm sure he realizes if there's a rebuild he won't be overseeing it so he's acting like desperate people act, dumb and ignoring reality.

Shel, we have the most to offer for a rebuilding team yes? Young talent and picks?!?! While keeping BI?
Posted on 6/7/21 at 5:52 pm to whatiknowsofar
Remember how the Pels wouldn't let Demps be the one trading AD? I would imagine we need to see a regime before we see a Dame trade. What if that doesn't happen until next offseason? How much do you trade for a 32 year old Dame? Maybe the price is cheaper by then and you don't have to include BI.

But I don't think it happens without giving up BI. I just don't think the Blazers do it under any circumstance if BI isn't involved. Just my guess though.
And if no BI, they'd probably then want NAW/Kira/Hayes and about 10 picks/swaps lol.

Sounds like something as dumb as Griffin would babble in a couple of years when Zion says freak it been 4 years and not even sniffing playoffs with this franchise

I think two of those with one being Kira and 5 firsts would have them listening very strongly. Especially if we get a top 4 pick. And for damn sure if we get number 1.
Posted on 6/7/21 at 6:57 pm to whatiknowsofar
Kira/Bledsoe/BI
For
Lillard/Covington
No clue what picks to add, but that is some solid youth. Portland’s roster is trash.
I think we should ultimately run it back with smaller additions and keeping Lonzo.

You could pull a deal for Dame off without including Ingram solely because of Dame’s age but why would you want to keep Ingram who needs a lot of shots too and instead lose all your draft assets plus a young player or 2. I could see 2 deals as possible
1- Dame for Ingram, 2 firsts and a 2nd
2- Dame for Hayes, 4 first and a swap
The smarter option would be trying to go after CJ McCollum who could most likely be had for half the cost of Dame.

Because we're trying to win a fricking title. That's the mentality this org needs when you have a guy like Zion.
And
Ingram runs the second unit and has the ball in his hands. He's also pretty damn good at catch and shoot so I don't see where a major sacrifice is made.

CJ is arse in the playoffs and we need a pg. Dames the dude.

Portland would hang up on you if you didn’t offer BI
Posted on 6/7/21 at 8:00 pm to whatiknowsofar
This is all bullshite anyway as Portland isn’t going to all of a sudden go batshit crazy and trade it’s superstar. They will appease him behind closed doors or by making moves but there’s no reality where I see them trading Dame. McCollum would be another story but like you said, he’s not Dame. I just want Malcolm Brogdon while also keeping both NAW and Hayes too. If we could form a deal to get him from the Pacers centered on draft assets that would be a dream scenario for me.
