Just under no circumstance would I include Scottie. All meaningless though because Dame is going to pick his location which will be MIA and we’ll be 1st rd fodder due to Masai’s overvaluation and indecisiveness.

But we said that about Kawhi too. Plus OG and Gary are both young and on Portland’s timeline.

Not even the timeline matches, og is nearly 6 or 7 years older than scoot, Simons is 21 ?, sharpe 20yo... og and gary also just have one year left on their contracts. Stop dreaming boy

FOH, son. OG is 25, Gary is 24.

OG has been coveted by Portland for as long as we can remember. Both OG and Gary would have to re-up after being traded. They would. If Dame leaves it’s full tear down time for Portland and that means everything and anything is on the table.

I never understand why people place limits on their thinking.

Masai is right

NBA is now a transfer portal

Garronteed! Had to know that when the Heat changed their mind and didn't waive and stretch Lowry's big $$$ contract but kept him on the books. Same as when the Heat suddenly picked up Dragic's option before free agency opened. This time they'll avoid tampering charges, because Lillard isn't a FA. Maybe the NBA needs to do something about collusion now.

Who needs Lillard when you've already got Schröder?

Ok, Joe Cronin.

Dame is/was a bonafide franchise guy, he just ran into better players than himself with deeper teams. Much like guys who lost to Jordan in the 90s.

Yet ironically is aware of that fact and still doesn’t trade his players when he has the chance. Only makes him look dumber…

Sixers agree to Harden deal with Clippers with a bunch of non-George assets - 28 and 30 Clippers 1sts, Kobe Brown (23 1st), Mann, Powell, Batum

They combine it with their own available assets like 29 PHI 1st, Maxey

End result in 3 way trade is Blazers get something like: Maxey, 28 LAC 1st, 30 LAC 1st, 29 PHI 1st, Kobe Brown, Mann, plus Harris for salary. This seems like enough of a blockbuster package for Lillard.

Since Sixers got guys like Powell, Mann, Batum from Clips their supporting cast is around Embiid/Lillard is fine combined to the Harden/Embiid one.

Until the Sixers blow their offer out of the water? Dame didn't really control where he's going very well here.

Lowry gets included, they lost Vincent and Strus, Portland should not want Herro... then what? Picks that Heat have left? Is that enough? do they really include Bam?

I guess all teams involved here are short some picks in some way.

Somehow I see Lowry making it to Philly or less likely in Toronto when the dust is all settled

Is it me or are the Blazers going to be extremely stacked after this trade happens

This was all Pat and Bam behind the scenes lol

He's a broken down version of himself. Why are people stuck in 5 years ago with all these aging stars? What you do is you look to see if there's anything else in Portland you could snag. They are rebuilding now.

Scottie might become an all-star. MAYBE. Dame IS an MVP calibre player.

32ppg on 65!!!!TS%.

You go to an immediate title contender and that’s kind of what you build a team for, right?

how did I know the usual suspects would be all over this mediocrity

I don't want to trade Scottie+ for Dame. I don't agree with that scenario.

There is no way Philly is trading Maxey - Philly fans would burn the FO down if they did.

Besides, Lillard wants the Heat and the Heat have been making a few clearing moves yesterday, which makes more sense now. Just a matter of what is going back to the Blazers.
