Buddy what are your sources? Anunoby literally made it know it was a false report at the start of this season 😂
Dame, Mikal, Cam, DFS and Claxton sounds incredible
Stopped watching when at 1:15, Blazers/Nets trade. Wacky trade 🥴🥴
You should reconsider reviewing Bleacher Report trades because they're typically awful. You could spend some time on a trade machine and make better content based on your own trade proposals.
Only trade Ben Simmons should be in right now should be overseas
I think terry to the jazz would be interesting and Malcolm Brogdon to the Clippers would be the best

Bruh Bleacher Report always on some dumb sh*t… Mikal Bridges ain't goin nowhere
You’re a fantastic youtuber but OG isn’t asking out of Toronto. He literally to quote said “I would definitely talk to them, I love Toronto, I love my teammates” please do more research before saying OG is asking out bro. It’s likely he signs a contract extension when eligible in October
Raptors
Absolutely no way am I giving up 3 or 4 picks and players for an old Lillard
"Trust because you are willing to accept the risk, not because it's safe or certain." —
Nets may accept two first round picks for Bridges from only Houston Rockets if only they get back their picks back, this is of course assuming they want to hit a reset button.
You forgot Dillon Brooks going to Taiwan next season 😂
Your take…not mine….
The nets traded their future for a superteam trio.
They have a very long rebuild ahead.
Bro imma be real. As a nets fan especially since they came to Brooklyn. I wouldn’t mind dame but I would rather us keep what we have and set up for the 2024 offseason man. I really do not want to trade a bunch of players for a star again. At least not rn. WE HAVE DONE THAT BS 2 TIMES ALREADY ITS TIME TO CHANGE THE BLUEPRINT. LIKE SERIOUSLY
Let Ben Simmons come back fully healthy and see if he could find his confidence back. THATS AN ALL STAR LEVEL PLAYER. , let clax continue to improve his game he only 23-24 he got lots of time to bulk up. Mikal bridges is a star player at the most and is on such an amazing contract. Cam Johnson is a 3 level scorer that will also improve. Dorian finney smith is a nice 3 and D wing and bruiser. if there’s anything I’m trying to get from the trailblazers is that first round pick they are selling.
We have picks stacked up from that phoenix and Dallas trade. THOSE PICKS WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT IN THE FUTURE IF KD AND KYRIE DONT WORK OUT WITH THEIR NEW TEAMS. we have lots of players finishing up on their contracts. Seth is gone, yuta and sumner are free agents, patty Royce and joe are all free agents next year. Dinwiddie is a free agent next year. Same with clax. We need to make sure we resign cam Johnson first, then see how clax does and resign him if he gets even better. Everyone else I stayed can go. We have TPE’s to use, we got players to draft and we always draft well.
We have all this stuff at our disposal, if we set up ourselves for the 2024 offseason correctly. I feel it will be much than if we trade for dame. Getting dame would be good but I really don’t think it will put us over the top or do much at all. WE NEED BIGGER MORE PHYSICAL PLAYERS.
I would LOVEEE to see Rozier on the Clippers and im not even a Clippers fan
If the Clippers can have Westbrook and Rozier Oh man and they stay healthy ?! Nobody beating them.
So you taking Rozier over Westbrook 😂
The Brooklyn-Portland trade only benefits Brooklyn, both short and long term in my opinion, while it is a absolute detriment for Portland both in the long & short term. Its a total suicide for Portland for a plethora of reason and simply make no sense whatsoever, no matter what way you cut it. As a Blazers fan, I despise the concept of it, and its the strongest hell fucking no I could possibly give.
The Blazers trade literally infuriates me to such a high degree! It’s literally everything wrong with NBA media! They just want the Nets to get a star and still be good somehow because they’re a big market! Why the fuck would the Blazers do that! Ben Simmons is literally not an asset, he has a massive contract and literally sat on the bench at the end of the season and during the playoffs. The only way the Nets are getting Dame, is if they give us a Mikal, which wouldn’t make sense either, because then Brooklyn wouldn’t be contenders, and it would make no sense for them to trade for Dame!!!!!
Nets turning more and more into a poverty franchise with these trades. While Dame is a star, what they’re trading away to receive a player in his mid 30s is crazy. They truly have no idea what they’re doing in that front office.
If anyone thinks the Nets are getting Dame without trading Mikal. Your smoking meth, while injecting heroin directly into their brain.
I feel you should have mentioned the Cavs. We are badly in need of help. Loss of Kevin Love really hurt us in playoffs.
Bridges to ORLANDO!!!
no sense trades
Y'all miss the most important thing with Dame… he is a west coast kid, he hates the humid hot of the east. Dame will only be traded to a western team, not sure that's what Portland wants. Dame retires as a blazer.
I want to see a hesi tween hesi stepback from the 3 in a Bucks jersey. We need shot creators. Hell, I'll take Malik Monk or Scary Terry
It's just pro wrestling with a ball the refs even said they fix the games go back and watch its so obvious when you are not emotionally invested 3the outcome all bs its all scripted i used to love the nba in the 90s but i realized the truth early 2000s go play ball watching it is a scam
Nets trade is horrible giving up way to much for dame and I think the nets should keep Ben just in case he come back to prime him
That Nets-Kings trade wouldn’t even happen in NBA 2K😅
The blazers aren’t gonna trade dame for anyone on the nets besides mikal bridges
thats a dumb nets trade bleacher report always makes the dumbest trades. they would be fired first day as gm's
bro the nets wanted to trade for dame to pair up with mikal bridges, and u're saying that the nets will accept trading bridges to the kings? lmao
Bridges is worth more than dame
DAME TO LA
As a blazer fan there’s no way I’d accept that. If Dame is traded I want to send him to a better team than the nets. And there’s no way I’m taking Ben Simmons and a couple late first round picks
The nets trade is the best !! 😀😀
mikal in portland makes much more sense.. and more realistic then dame in bkn.. nets get simons (23 yr old star) plus top 5 lotto projected pick and more picks to finally start there rebuild they been dwelling on forever, you once had harden,kd,kyrie all on same team and failed, before that you had Jarret allen who then became an allstar, i don’t see point building around a 26 yr old star wing jus makes no sense itd be different if he was 24 or younger then absolutely build around that but him on a contender would be better for both sides but then again i understand fans have fell in love w him and can’t see them trading him after the 2nd half of this szn..
Nah why u hate the Celtics
The Nets would be foolish to pursue such a trade especially after the KG/Pierce/Joe Johnson and the KD/Kyrie/Harden experiments all failed.The Nets should just build organically through the draft.
Why would the Clippers trade for Rosier when they can just resign Westbrook?
