Do you want a young mvp injury prone dude who’s been relatively healthy lately, and his history relatively in the past or the old allstar that has had a variety of injury issues. And multiple injuries all year long?So Luka vs Dame… I pick Luka even though I hate watching him play. But, it isn’t certain he will be on the market, and he will certainly cost more.
Brown would be awesome, but it sounds like he is in line to get a super max extension with the Celtics.
Isn’t embiid injury prone? I’m less excited by this option because I think we’d still be short a ball handler and he too would cost more.
Pay attention, beat you to it.
Can I get confirmation on that?Pay attention, beat you to it.
I am a dang flip flopper. I wanted nothing to do with Herro yesterday, today I wouldnt mind him for the right package.
I just want to put the best players on the court and win now.
One might be had for more than double the other? And one is actually on the market right now.Do you want a young mvp injury prone dude who’s been relatively healthy lately, and his history relatively in the past or the old allstar that has had a variety of injury issues.

His timeline does not match utah it’s not at all a good fit. Does it not concern you that in the last 4 years he hasn’t played more than 67 games, and just over half last year?One might be had for more than double the other? And one is actually on the market right now.

ESPN was talking about this. One solution was when players sign a contract, they would lose 50% ( or some percent) of their money for wanting to be traded. This way players couldn't sign super deals with smaller teams and then demand a tradeIf Blazers trade Dame to Miami for anything less than he is worth then thats a scary precedent from the perspective of any team that isnt a destination.
If even the "blue collar type" stars dictate stuff like this in addition to the primadonnas who have been doing it for ages, how will "the other teams" ever get a star or even trust to hold on to one they homegrow?
Player empowerment needs a bullet in the leg. Hopefully Cronin provides one.
Make front offices great again.
Ohh what World Cup?66 pages for something who will never happen, god ..... off season is quite long, So quite world cup start in 7 weeks from now.

At some point, the hand that feeds also will slap back. I think a lot of FOs try to do right by the player in most situations, and I don't have an issue with that. There are some players who have earned that right, Dame for example. But trying to constrict that organization that drafted you, developed you, paid you, and, in some part, made you from trying to get some pieces to start the cycle again by twisting their nuts to a single destination? Nah, I'm good. Lilliard has earned over 230m from NBA contracts alone during his tenure. I lose sentimentality for manchildren. He can vacation in Miami and play in Siberia.If Blazers trade Dame to Miami for anything less than he is worth then thats a scary precedent from the perspective of any team that isnt a destination.

My sentiments exactly. I have little hope in winning it all with the current state of player empowerment. Unless we draft a Jokic who gives no crap about where he plays.If Blazers trade Dame to Miami for anything less than he is worth then thats a scary precedent from the perspective of any team that isnt a destination.

My god man!! Do you want someone that’s ****ing old and isn’t going to play up to the entirety of the contract and completely **** up the rebuild because we won’t get equal value when it comes time to trade him. Imo he has 1-2 prime years before he slows down. That contract ain’t going to age well. Show some damn patience.Does it not concern you that you haven’t identified a single alternative that is actually on the market?
Also…. Embiid has played in 67 games once (68) in his entire seven year career. If that’s the hill you are doing to die on at least be consistent.
Yes - I do want Dame for the 1-2 years he has left of his prime, and 80% Dame for years 3-4. I think we have a window now and with him we have a chance at a title now and again in four years when everyone else is in their prime and we reset from Dame’s contract.My god man!!
