Dame Time

Ok a few thoughts

I dont want anything to do with Tyler Herron. It would take 2 or 3 of Sexton, Clarkson, Olynyk and/or THT to get him. That is more than we would get by getting him.

I only want Dame if we still have enough assets left to make an all in move for Doncic if/when he becomes available.

Could you imagine

Dame
Doncic
Markkanen
Collins
Kessler
 
I think the rationale for acquiring Dame is that he's a star with some roots in Utah who is signed for 4 years. It puts the Jazz in a position where they are one or two moves away from real contention, and the Jazz should still have the assets to make those additional moves.

If you're someone like Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown or Luka Doncic, you can look over at Utah and say, "Yeah, if I join those guys, we can make the Finals."

It's like when Boston traded for Ray Allen first to make Kevin Garnett willing to come to Boston.

Dame is hell bent on going to Miami.
Cronin is hell bent on getting a superstar package.

Both of those things cannot happen simultaneously with the pieces Miami is waving around.... so the question is who has to give in?

If other teams are afraid they get a malcontent 33+ year old on a 60M/y contract then Cronins dream isnt reality. No one sells the farm for that.

I think the process will draw out and Portland will ask Dame to expand his list of destinations.

Yeah I agree.

I mean what’s the rush? The seasons not starting for another 3 months at least.

Also Portland has absolutely nothing to gain by appeasing Dame.

When Ben Simmons asked out of Philadelphia and started playing games with therapists, Darryl Morey slow-walked the process for the better part of a year. Then when James Harden quit on Houston, Morey moved things along.

What happens if Luka Doncic, Joel Embiid, James Harden or Jaylen Brown ask for a trade? Then everything gets reset.

Probably a good call… unless someone gives something up for Herro… this could hold things up a bit.

BRK said they'd take Herro, but that they wanted compensation to do it. Lol. The whole point of moving Herro is to bring back a plus-return to use in a package for Portland.

There should be a team out there willing to take him… not sure there will be a lot of draft stuff coming back. If we didn’t have sexton and JC I’d be interested.

When Wemby peaks there will be nothing then Jazz can do. We have 3 to 4 years max to get it done.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to be in San Antonio’s shoes right now, but so much has to happen for Wemby and the Spurs to become an unbeatable force in the west.

First, dude’s gotta live up to the massive hype, sustain it, and do it while managing to stay healthy. Then, the Spurs have to surround him with the right team.

I remember being concerned about Greg Oden arriving in Portland…..

I would trade THT/KO + a first for Herro. Might just be me though. I’m a fan especially for that price.

I just struggle to see Hero as an impact player, and if he’s better than anyone of THT, JC, or Sexton, it’s not by much if at all and you have us trading two skilled rotation players and a first? Doesn’t seem worth it to me.
