But as you say, Miami has a tight window to contend with Jimmy. So they’re motivated to get a deal done as well. Is holding up a deal for Jovic or Jaquez worth it (if indeed they are)?
Yes. Unless you are getting young players in their prime you can't assume its gonna work out. It didn't with Nets and may not with Suns. In case it doesn't, you need some assets around Bam to rebuild. As much as we talk we are a FA destination. It really hasn't worked out that was post Lebron. So we can't assume if this doesn't work out, that a Mitchell or Tatum gonna come here when its just Bam and 0 assets.
If this was prime Dame, then going all in makes sense. He's not.
I understand that due to age he’s likely to decline soon, but as a matter of fact he IS still currently prime Dame. Last season was the best statistical season of his career.
The fact is, the Timberwolves are super dumb, and it's not anyone else's fault. What they gave for Gobert was unrealistic and desperate. And that does not mean Dame is worth the entire team and everything not nailed down in a trade. It would be the case if this was say 24-25-year-old Dame. You can't try to sell me the world's most expensive phone, which is about to be obsolete and thus will no longer receive any support and a new version is about to come out and say "Hey it doesn't matter that it will be obsolete soon and will be out of support and the new version is coming out soon. It's good for at least a couple of months" You'd have to be a moron to agree to that type of deal. It's a two-way street.
