Suns wonāt do it I wouldnāt trade my big man
lmao dame is so overrated nothing in that man screams first option on a championship team.
Miami is good with current roster.
what is the best teammate dame for championship dame jimmy and bam or dame pascal and scot?
A trade to raptors is so much better than Miami imo
Espn trying to include the raptors in the trade. Stop trying to force narrative that dont and are aren't happening.
Raptors got enough to get a deal done. Masai Ujiri isnt the one for bluffing. He makes those deals.
Bam got to go I guess
I mean East is wide open right so if dame join the raptors they got a high chance of winning š. Dame, Pascal Siakam & Scottie will be deadly trio.
Also if this trade happen it opens door for Giannis Antetokounmpo as well to eventually pairing him up with Dame X Scottie š®
No. There's zero evidence that Dame is a bar-raiser or can lead a team to a championship, lmao. No idea where all of this is coming from! If he goes to Toronto, they ceiling is a 4 or 5 seed. Lillard isn't remotely close to the player Kawhi was nor do they have the same depth. Kawhi got traded to a top seeded team, this team wasn't in the playoffs š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
LIlliard is not going to a "win instantly" situation. Maimi doesn't want a guy who doesn't play defense, especially if it costs tons of assets. The cost of getting LIlliard is so high, it's hard to imagine most teams trading for him, and it also harms his "I want a title now" desires, because teams will have to deal so much, it will kill their depth. He's an aging player with a huge salary. He has two years of elite play before a huge falloff begins.
The NBA is in panic š± just to think Raptors can win another championship, the trauma is real , everybody is having ptsd. I love it š». Letās go Raptors
Portland is lillards city he's not a distraction.
So you want to go to Miami? How about I sent you out of this country.
dame is going to heat its done deal raptors have chance but dime will no to torontro
Trying to compare the Kawhi move and Dame move makes no sense. The Raptors werenāt even going to with the championship with Kawhi until Klay and KD get hurt
No cause truthfully the only reason the raptors won is cause kd was hurt
No team that trades for dame is going to be a final product on day 1š every team will have to fill in the gaps from the outgoing assets
Big Perk on crack
Yes he would! Do it!
pascal and fred were rookies on our 2019 run how was that team ready??
There is no way theyd give up scottie barnes he is their future
I can't stand Perkins. The takes this guy has on things just boggle my mind. No Nick nurse? Fine. Maybe now we'll play teen bowl instead of ISO ball every play. No more Fred? I'm sad to see him go but I'm not going to be sad to watch him Chuck bricks from half court because none of the other players are moving because nobody's calling any plays.
I think this is a perfect opportunity to build a system around Dame and optimize the team to everybody's strength. It's a fresh start with talented and strong players.
Perkins is an idiot, nurse was a 1st year coach too when Raps won the chip
Dame is no joke!!! If the Raptors get him its on!!! Boston s in trouble!!!
As a Heat fan, PLEASE ANYWHERE BUT BOSTON!
