When asked by a follower if Portland’s chances at getting Deandre Ayton are dead, Jaynes said the following:
> I have been told he could end up in Portland — for Dame. But who knows at this point. Blazers would be wise to move Dame before Media Day.

Would be an insane turn of events if Portland sends Lillard to Phoenix. Would be even more insane to see how Phoenix pulls something like this off.

it would be a 3 way w/ miami my guy
No idea how defense and rebounding will be, but the offense…wtf will you do?
Now that’s too much of a super team
Ah yes the triple guard lineup. Phoenix trying to redo their mid 2010s lineups with an upgraded version of Dragic, IT and Bledsoe lol
Fast forward to 2029 when Dame is washed and Ayton is in his prime busting Phoenix’s ass every time they play.
Jones – I’m glad we made the trade because we went back to the conference finals and got smoked by Denver again one more time before KD was washed.
(sorry suns fans, not personal, just a pasta)
i have also heard lakers are interested in trading dlo for dame do i get my own post now
Suns gonna play Lillard at center, stretch 5
Phoenix ~~Suns~~ Stars. More astronomically and literally true
like a straight up deal ? are they planning on signing D12 at center ?
lillard, beal, and booker back court ? three guys that like to shoot much more than pass, and very small defensively ? I’ll believe it when i see it.
a core with damian booker beal and kd sounds crazy.. surely there’s a third team that gets involved
I have been told first Jaynes.

This dumbass tweet just shows that this idiot is out of touch and doesn’t know shit
Also, I’m pretty sure that with Phoenix over the 2nd apron (and with no assets whatsoever), a salary structure that is only expensive players or minimums, it’s literally impossible for them to get Dame without trading Booker/KD, so…
Conversation between Dbook and KD in a team meeting,
***DBook*** *: What should be done to win a championship?*
***KD*** *: We build a super team*
***DBook*** *: But the nets super team experiment with 3 superstars was a failure*
***KD*** *: Yeah you are right, we need a new plan to win a championship.*
***DBook*** *: Which is?*
***KD*** *: Build a superteam with 4 superstars!*
If Suns get Lillard we are back to the 2016-17 season
would legitimately be the first Big 4
Lillard, Beal, Booker, Durant, Bol Bol/Dwight
Over 140ppg??
Blazers fans are saying this isn’t a legit source.
Its literally an impossible trade

Rumours like these should be grounds for demotion for the person who reported it, like bro what the fuck is this shit
Dame, Book, Beal and KD would score 170 a game and give up 180.
This isn’t happening but the Suns seem to think all you need is stars irrelevant of fit to win as is.
Lillard, Beal, Booker, KD, and whoever at center seems loaded when in reality the outcome would probably be closer to the Kobe/Howard/Nash Lakers.
Everyone thinking this is some deal where Lillard ends up in Phoenix are on one. Ayton might move to Portland for some other piece but Dame would be going to Miami.
Does that even work financially? Trade machine says this is impossible
“And starting at power forward, at 6’4 from the University of Florida…”
Has a team ever had a rebound percentage under 40% before?
Do these guys not know CBA basics?? Ayton – $33.3 mil next year. Dame – $44 mil next year. New CBA also precludes second apron teams from aggregating salaries in trades. There’s no way this could even happen
Dang I should be a journalist. I can throw out ridiculous trade rumors, too, that make 0 sense and aren’t even possible
Nobody said Lillard will go to Phoenix. It may just be a 3 team deal.
How sure are we that Isiah Thomas is not in the head office?
I’ve heard Giannis is also going to end up there, and LeBron, and Curry
