Dame Time

[Jazzman12]

This league stopped functioning on logic years ago. In what world should Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, and a few really ****** draft picks net you Dame Lillard?

Not that Utah would want to, but they could easily destroy that Miami offer on draft picks alone- while still holding on to a few.

 

[JazzJunkie]

Dame came to Utah to play for Weber State.

He picked it because it was the biggest school recruiting him.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

He picked it because it was the biggest school recruiting him.

He had other schools of similar size recruiting him brother

 

[Flc]

Nice of him to wait for the Grant's insane contract before requesting the trade

My man. Came here to post the same thing. He definitely helped his boy get the bag.

 

[Flc]

Super loyal? He is always super passive aggressive and the blazers always bend to his wishes. Last season they were able to snag an all star caliber player in Grant for him but they still weren't good enough because Lillard is simply not good enough. The blazers finally do the right thing and keep Scoot who should be a really good player immediately and he loses his ****. This era of the nba is so annoying because these stars act like they are entitled to win championships and the second a team does what is in the best interest long term instead of wrecklessly go all in immediately they lose there ****.

Karl Malone did the same thing a good number of off-seasons.

 

[Flc]

We have so many assets. Whats the point in having them if we don't use them?With the current market... I would not be suprised if Lillard is traded for much less thatn Rudy or Don.

Ainge is saving them for a top 10 player under 30 years old.

 

[nateboz]

Damion is too old. Expensive and injury prone.

I’m not sure where this "trade all of our assets" idea is coming from. Not a single person mentioned that and there is not a chance in hell it takes anywhere near that to get him.

What do you think it will cost?

 

[Elizah Huge]

Wh

What do you think it will cost?

I mean all we’d have to do to beat Miami’s offer is:

Sexton, KO, THT and three firsts

If they don’t want Sexton’s salary we can include Clarkson instead. If they want a young player we take off a pick.

 

[stitches]

All the leftovers from the NYK's leverage we snatched last summer...

 

[David Stern]

I find it interesting that the Nets are on his list, we’re basically on the same level as them

 

[David Stern]

If they don’t want Sexton’s salary we can include Clarkson instead. If they want a young player we take off a pick.

I’d do that in a heart beat. If it doesn’t work out or Luka becomes available, I think Dame is probably still going to get us some value we could send in another deal

 

[JimLes]

He picked it because it was the biggest school recruiting him.

And the Jazz would be the biggest team interested in him now.

I think that’s a fair trade for both based on his age and would really speed up our timeline. I think I’d do it. It still leaves us with a bounty of picks as well for the future.

 

[Chargers Jazz Angels]

I would send them Sexton for herro

 

[Eddie Zero]

lol at those of you who think Dame requested a trade to join a team on the rise but nowhere near contention by adding him.
He wants to go to those big markets so he can get more payouts in endorsements and remain in the all star convo for the rest of his contract. He is not really going to get that and have a chance to win in Utah. Not unless we made a lot of other win now moves.
Just outbidding Miami is stupid thinking eh smh why am I not surpised that is your take

 

[Eddie Zero]

I would send them Sexton for herro

I would not. Herro is not the same level of competitor and we need more dogs not divas

 

[Elizah Huge]

 

[HeatCheck]

I would send them Sexton for herro

The past few offseasons some teams thought it was a good idea to pay small scoring guards in excess of $30 mil per season. Under the new CBA most teams are not as willing to pay Jordan Poole, Simons, Rozier, or Herro on bloated contracts. We saw most of those type guards either opt in before FA or get severely less than expected (DLo). The Heat were playing better without Herro in the playoffs.

Ainge made the call to take the risk on John Collins' contract. My hunch is they won't be taking on another risky contract such as Herro. If at all possible they should try to keep as much financial flexibility as possible.
