  1. What are we doing guys lol. 3 firsts, 2 seconds, pickswaps, and 1 young guy. And call it a day. Lets go heat.

  2. Miami will have a young Center asset available Dec. 16th, there are other rookie contracts that will mature prior to the TDL.

  3. This was entertaining fellas. Gotta admit. The main problem is all these picks are so far down the road that it really doesnt incentivize portland to move off of their superstar that is a major financial foundation for the franchise. 2027 and later picks might as well be an entire "era" away, and therefore aren't considered an asset… For a team on portlands position that was now 2 years of a rebuild already going, to basically put a pause on it to wit until 2027 to go back to drafting just makes no sense. They need picks now, Or in the next year to 3 years to supplement the draft rebuild. The timeline would involve attempting for playoff runs in 2027-2030, not holding draft capital in those years. This is a major contributing factor to why i believe a heat trade is jist not possible. The youth miami has to offer isnt enticing, the draft picks are too far out and historically speaking WILL be crappy picks for portland being late in the draft… Combined, the 2 aspects make the picks ZERO value to portland at all… 😅 none of what miami has to offer makes portland in a better position… The rbuild would suck… And if you are destined to suck AFTER the rebuild… Well you might as well hold on to your superstar that holds most of the team's records, sells tickets and merchandise, and all the extras that go with having a dame lillard… Even if he is upset, and even if stuff is awkward. Its just how it is. If portland isnt compelled to trade him because the package deal is just that GOOD, then they wont trade him. Sucks to suck, but having a superstar takes a bit of the edge off of the pain.
