Sadly Tyler Herro doesn’t command a star of Dames caliber. Even worse the Blazers have like 3 guys already better than Herro at his position. Worst part is Dame to Boston means our days of beating them are behind us. Hopefully it’s all lies, and they probably are. Time will tell
How do you guys come up with stuff?
Why would Boston offer up their 26 year old co-star and a “pick or two”
The Blazers do not have 3 players better than Herro at his position, that is just comedy.
Dame doesn’t want to play in Boston and even IF he did, that still would not make them some juggernaut we cant beat again.
In all seriousness I am really tired of this unrealistic comment that they have 3 players better than Herro at his position. The fact is Herro is better in most of the metrics in comparison to these guys, he is still 23 years old and continues to improve season to season. You may not be aware but Herro's defense actually got better this last season. He hasn't shown to top out on any progression whatsoever, yeah we are hard on him, he lacks wingspan and struggles when he gets all level defender in front of him, guess what so does everyone else. He isn't a speedy guard Herro is bigger than your average SG, so he will require screens to get freed when being guarded by tall lengthy wings with good mobility. I am really tired of this notion, guess what those guys in Portland, when its their time to get paid, they will command the same dollars or higher based on the CAP going up. We just saw that 30M is the going rate for that #3-#4 player on a team that tells you when those guys are up for an extension and their making 35M a year I don't want to hear about what a nice contract they have. I am in agreement about using Herro to upgrade our team, because of his salary and he is a position that we can afford to go weak on. We got to stop this notion that he is some sort of wart not worth 30M, it was the going rate at the time. Yeah if it was me, I would have let him hit the market and created a bidding war, and maybe gotten him at 25M or 28M a year, guess what there's also the possibility somebody would have fcked us over and gave him 32M-36M and we would have matched....That's why sometimes these FO don't take the risk of letting their players hit open market.
Very well said.
