Bill Simmons suggested that Miami deal won’t happen. Might keep Dame until trade deadline for a better offer. Thoughts?



He also talked about a 3-team deal with Boston and Houston, said it was very suspicious Brown hasn’t been extended yet.

    Of fuck yeah Dame for Brown would be amazing.

    That’s probably for the best. It’s exactly what the Nets did with KD. Honestly I’d prefer this to be done before the season started so we don’t have this situation hanging over our heads in what should be a fun season but it is what it is. Kinda hope dame stays at home and waits for a trade if this is the route we go

    Please. I’ve been going crazy coming up with (and not sharing all but 1) any way the Heat deal makes sense

  4. That’s it’s pretty messed up to treat Dame like this.

    His Dame to Boston, and jaylen brown to Houston scenario is amazing for the blazers in getting young guys and assets. I hope that happens

    Bill Simmons, one of us! Gooble gobble one of us!

    I’m glad for once, Simmons isn’t totally throwing us under the bus in his fake trade scenarios.

    have nothing against this trade but it isn’t surprising to see simmons suggest a celtics trade. not sure if there is any truth to his information either.

    I don’t think it will last to training camp. But it could last until August.

    That’s what I’ve been hoping for. Make the bidders sweat it out and drive up the price. It worked with Simmons. There’s no rush. If Dame wanted out immediately he could have not signed the deal and played out the contract. Don’t let these players play games. If they want out the teams should extract every last bit of value.

    Nothing is owed beyond the contract.

    This front office is absolutely pathetic , we’ve been waiting for years now

  11. Ripcitytoker

    This is what I like to hear. Fuck that getting strong armed into trading Dame for peanuts shit.

  12. tomhalejr

    There are teams that can make better offers than MIA right now.

    I’m not optimistic that we will get a goodbye tour at this point.

  13. toadtruck

    Good. Dame could absolutely change his mind

  14. Dtwerky

    Lol nah. Dame aint gonna be here by the end of next week. He will go to Miami and it will be a multi-team trade. droppingdimes20 has foretold this.

  15. Emergency_Pepper_178

    It would be soooo humiliating for Dame if he has to suit up for us on opening night 🫣

  16. tiredhunter

    My initial expectation after the draft was Dame was a trade deadline move. With how vocal both parties have been? Who the fuck knows.

  17. Eastside-Beaver

    Yup make him wait. There’s no hurry and then we can make the best deal for picks

  18. Wagonlance

    I wish we could believe this, but Simmons isn’t exactly a paragon of credibility.

  19. throwawayshirt

    Example #1: PHI held on to Ben Simmons until Harden shook loose.

    Don’t understand why browns value is so high. Playoffs showed you put a bit of pressure on him crunch time and he folds
