Claxton is untouchable until further notice. So hell no. Replacing him with Nurk doesn’t make us better.

Take out clax and make the 2 late picks top 5 protected. Throw in cam T, dayron, and a rookie of their choosing

Stupid trade

I worry we’re caught between a rock and a hard place with Claxton. I think because of the way his contract is structured he’s a UFA next year, and I worry if we aren’t competitive (or if our style next year doesn’t complement him on offense better) he might walk. Although teams just never have cap space anymore, so who knows who will have the money for himself as well as a need.
That said, I still say no. We have too many holes with that roster and it still is markedly worse than at least 3-4 other teams in the East. Plus Clax is my favorite Net so selfishly I want him here as long as he’s happy here.
I wonder what his relationship is like with Mikal? I haven’t seen the two much together (not saying that’s a problem, but I’m curious if the two vibe, though I can’t imagine anyone not vibing with Mikal)

I think this Dame situation is too unpredictable. I feel like Marks has been waiting to see what happens. Time to move on before we lose out on other potential trades.

I would hate any deal you could possibly think of that includes Claxton

Terrible. Let lillard go to miami, we need to stay young

The Heat can’t offer anything even close to this, we would just be bidding against ourselves if we give up this much.

What is the point of including dinwiddie and Royce? If we get dame we’ll need role players. Would rather include the rookies / cam if it came down to it.
Hate the idea of including clax but it may be possible the only way to get it done is to swap clax and nurk.

That trade wouldn’t get Brooklyn anywhere

Fuck no.

Hell the fuck no…

If a Dame trade includes more than Dinwiddie, end of rotation guys, young guys, and picks we won’t be able to compete and probably won’t be able to make the moves that put us in contention. Just wouldn’t be worth it. Ckaxton can’t go in a Dame trade.

No thank you! Remove Nurk, Claxton, and 2027 PHX pick and maybe we have a deal….MAYBE
FROGATELLI
no clax and no nurk

We’re in a worse position after this trade. Getting rid of our DPOY candidate and some veteran depth while also risking our future by giving up those potentially good picks. No way.
gside876
That is a pretty bad trade. We’d give up way too much and Claxton shouldn’t go anywhere
rabidantidentyte
This will keep us mid for the next 5 years. Absolutely not
kindabatti
I would have a hard time including 3 picks AND clax. Jeez. Way way too much of an overpay. I can see the reason if he was the missing piece but we’re still far away from being contenders after this.
shahoftheworld
It’s a first round exit team with no picks or youth to retool after Lillard’s window is shut in 3 years.
just_so_irrelevant
Claxton does more for this team than Dame would. His defense is irreplacable and he’s also young. Perfect for us.
Brooklyn917
That trade STINKS!
Claxton is our defense anchor, he should never be available. It similar to Jimmy and Bam being untouchable in a Dame trade, well Claxton and Mikal are our untouchables.
I wouldn’t want Nurk and The Suns 2029 and Dallas 2029 picks are off limits.
In the end, I don’t want Dame, send him to Miami for Kyle Lowry and Duncan Robinson ✌️

Cam Thomas, Simmons picks. Get it done Marks!
richonarampage
Overpay. If this is the deal than rather just keep Clax and really pare down the deal for just Anfernee Simons.

Awful

It’s a trade we could make for Dame that makes sense. I wouldn’t include O’Neale in the trade unless we take out another frp for him.
