Dame names potential trade destinations

[Jsun947]

Do you think Spencer Dinwiddie, Joe Harris, DFS, and Cam Thomas are not starters? If so, have you been watching them at all these past few seasons?

Dinwiddie and Harris are expirings. Both have been starters most of their careers. Dinwiddie can start on most NBA teams without an issue.

Cam Thomas can start on the majority of teams today and is the young stud you would get.

DFS is startable on pretty much every NBA team.

Dinwiddie is a starter on most teams. A team that’s trying to rebuild around Scoot & Sharpe is not starting a 30 year old Dinwiddie on an expiring contract.

Nor is it starting a 31 year old Joe Harris on an expiring contract who didn’t start the majority of Brooklyn’s game this season.

Cam Thomas couldn’t start for a team, well ever…. And definitely wouldn’t start over Sharpe or Scoot.

DFS is a starter and might start by default but at 30 would likely be shipped somewhere else just like Harris & Dinwiddie

Wtf are you talking about?

Loyalty is a two way street, however the team/management is ALWAYS the bad guy.

Loyalty is a two way street, however the team/management is ALWAYS the bad guy.

wut?...that doesn't make sense. Lebron, Durant, Melo, Deron...they've all been trashed for their actions. Players are the "bad guys" a lot of the time

Paul Pierce was applauded for his loyalty to Boston, Duncan was applauded for his loyalty to San Antonio. But if Pierce and Duncan had been saddled with the incompetent management of Neil Olshey for a decade they wouldn't have won any rings and they probably wouldn't have been nearly as loyal

and all of those players took max contracts when they were eligible for them

where is it is you see Dame not staying on a 2-way street and instead sliding over to a one-way street?

My man. Do not come to our board to troll us.

If you want to add to the conversation, feel free. If you just want to come here to post nonsense like that to try to rile up posters, keep it to the Hornets or general subsections.

Can we just shut this board down or require a password to get in. Sooooo **** sick of outside posters asking the same questions every day. "Do you guys want to trade Dame?" "What would you want back from Brooklyn for Dame? LUL NOZZZ!!!!"

I think we're pretty evenly split 50/50, maybe 60/40 in favor of keeping versus trading.

But there's also the nuance of navigating through how many of the 40% are people who moreso want to trade him because they don't believe in our management and want to give him a shot elsewhere because they don't think they could do it here?

I am a firmly keep and build around Dame member of our community. He is our franchise's best ever player and most loyal. But I'm also with a side of 'Don't you dare trade that third pick for a shoddy deal' camp. It's a bit conflicting on the surface. Some of us do think Dame, if he saw the deals weren't up to par and thought the quality of player had a chance to impact in the next two years plus with some other moves (moving Simons for frontcourt help, MLE, resigning Grant, seeing if we might move Nurkic for a backup guard/wing if we move Simons for a center etc) that he would feel comfortable even if we kept the pick.

Honestly. With so much smoke coming up from so many parties right now, I don't think we'll get a firm grasp on what'll play out until day before or draft day itself.

You guys are in the driver's seat at two. And then we're next in line. Our team franchises will shape the summer in many ways.

"With the Blazers owning the No. 3 pick, they have more optionality with what they can do, but it also could be difficult to give up a player with the type of upside possessed by Scoot Henderson and Brandon Miller.

I would say there is plenty of previous discussion in this thread and others that generally has already made our thoughts known so why are you asking the question again? I am guessing you didn't really read the thread and just dropped in on page 4.

No click bait going on at all, Dame and management have flip flopped at least 3 times already according to "experts"

What do you think about trading #3 for one of those vets on the trade market like Zion/Ingram/Beal/Towns?

I would think Dame would want a win now established vet over the #3 pick.


As a Charlotte fan im also hearing we like Brandon Miller over Scoot. So you might have Scoot just waiting there for you at #3.


You guys have a lot of options will be interesting to see how all this plays out.

For Zion I am fine even though the injury risk, a lot of people here aren't. Ingram I think New Orleans would need to add something. Beal, no. He just doesn't hold that kind of value at all for both the pick and our situation. I'm not a KAT fan, but I would reluctantly accept such.

I think the order of preference here for everyone if you look at us s a group instead of individuals is probably (obviously ignoring any situation where Embiid wants out and Portland tries to throw everything that can to get him which still might not be enough):

Bridges
Siakam/brown
KAT
Ingram
Zion

Many of us are wary about trading the third for only a player who is an expiring, though. But dealing with Toronto fans isn't our favorite past times so we generally leave the Siakam conversation untouched here.
