Gotta love the perception the Blazers need to give up almost every asset to get other team's players.
But trading Dame for some role players and a late 1st or two seems acceptable too. -@alexctam
They better offer Jimmy or bam, and that's just to smell his head like Joe biden
Phoenix is fucked as a franchise is someone gets a serious injury. I don't want the Blazers to be stuck in such a position. I don't want these trades. I want Amen. Dame isn't owed shit. He has half a billion dollars and hasn't won shit. Amen. Draft Amen. He's an alpha. He's elite.
The sun's will get the best of the best on all the vet minimum contracts they will have no problem getting some halfway decent role players. I always hear that same argument that they're getting something for nothing people constantly undervalue the expiring contracts. That's basically how LA got Norm Powell also.
Beal has only made ONE all nba team 3rd team at that in the same draft as Dame. Even if Dame goes Portland gets a haul and blazer fans are in better shape than 65-70% of the league
Wake up dude… No stars want to play in Portland. It's time to build through the draft and start over. Fans are tired of the same thing every year. We need a fresh start!
This means if dame is getting traded, blazers will get back a similar or worse package
Miami could move Herro, Jovic, Filler and 4 1st at the most
Praying for dame to have a deep play off run anywhere
been praying on it for years! Only a few more days until we take my scoot that ive been asking for in the uprise chats this entire season :))))) So close to my dream for my team to finally have a bright future. PLEASE DONT MESS IT UP CRONIN/ALLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Blazers NBA champs in 2029 and 2030!!!!! Sharpe x Scott (or miller) x Simons x some other great players who are like 16 and 17 right now.
I must also add that I would be happiest, at this point, keeping Dame and seeing how it works with miller/scoot, allowing his value to go very high, and if we trade him…we trade him…If we don't ever get that proper value, then no pressure in letting him go. Maybe Scoot/Miller develops faster, and with Sharpe, we have something that looks like (with maybe a few additions) could be something in 2 seasons. You never know in this league. I just want to feel excited about the future for the first time in FOREVER.
my prediction:. Blazers make no moves as usual and get nothing done. We hopefully get Scoot but miller is great also. Scoot is generational though. I think Dame is not a Blazer starting the season if I had to predict but I dont really have a sense of dame rn and i dont love the package miami could offer for dame. Better to let his value rise and trade him before the deadline. we shall see. interesting time to be a blazers fan.
Very good video Torey!
phoenix gonna figure it out. just need a few more players. 2 minimum vets and then figure out 1 or 2 other rookies somehow. Injuries is what id be concerned about cus them boys all getting up there in age besides book. I think Ayton could elevate with those other 3 dudes. I pray Dame goes to my second fav team, the heat….wins a chip, and then get to see pdx rebuild.
You don’t know what you talking about when you say Portland should not trade Dame instead build around him that’s insane mister
First, I need to explode the idea that WAS got fleeced. They weren't going anywhere! When a section of a company is bleeding the company, losing it money, dragging the company away from its goals, then you sometimes have to absorb a loss to move to a more profitable state. That's how business turn around. WAS has put itself on the road to success because its able to recognize that an asset is more valuable to someone else than to WAS and they can get something that will reduce the total loss it was about to experience. This is why the Blazer's need to trade Simons, even if they don't get back a salary match; what they want, what they need is a competitive match; players from a Simons trade that makes the Blazer's better.
Will Dame walk back his comments if Portland use the 3rd pick?
I think most trade dame fans want Portland to use that pick more then they want him traded.
Dame to the lakers
Good Video As Always. Thursday Cant come soon enough
It's not a good trade for either team, but let's see how it pans out in 2023-2024
We should trade ayton and payne to the magic for carter and cole anthony
The 3rd pick alone, is not gonna make Portland a contender. Even if they manage to get another star, this team as it is, (+ a star) will make playoffs and sink in mediocrity again. Dame's value now, is probably high considering that he's after his best season. Unfortunately as much as i would like Dame to stay and get a chip there, i doubt that even with another star, they can do anything, unless they do a major reshuffle. Dame's overall value, might not be to the level of the KD trade, but trading now, as opposed to 2-3 years from now, when odds are that you still have not made anything more than a second round appearance, is probably the best thing for Portland. Not saying trade him, but things need to change drastically, with or without him for Portland to have a chance of being good. Sorry but the hopium has to stop.
Chris Haynes is somehow becoming a dreaded name when he was the ONLY person to call the CP3 and Shamet trade and the FIRST to call the KD trade.
Woj and Shams aren’t dreaded evening tho they CONSISTENTLY said the Nets weren’t trading KD no matter what. Chris Haynes was the one standing by his word and confirming KDs preferred destination was Phoenix.
Also, Chris Haynes didn’t even tweet anything outrageous regarding Portland. He was speaking from Miamis standpoint the entire time. He said Miami is focused on Dame because MIAMI thinks Dame will finally want out. He didn’t say Dame wants out. Reading and comprehension is important. Or maybe people just have selecting vision and memory…
Dudes face went blurry when he was talking about Sharpe and rebuilding.. purposeful?.. Dame will only go if management fails.. which could happen, but i think there's a high probability he'll agree with whatever is done
