Probabaly offering non-Jaylen assets

I don't know. Jaylen Brown went to the supermarket and picked up 2 oranges and 1 apple which means he is leaving. If Jaylen Brown picked up 2 apples and 1 orange it would indicate he definitely is staying.

Saddiq Bey is a shooter who can't shoot. The truly awkward niche to find yourself in.

Then he dropped the orange off his foot and threw the apple to the opposing team's guard.

Not a fact. But if "gun to head"

I'd put it at 95% chance of happening. Might just be a matter of when, not if. Blazers just waiting for Heat to present them with a more palatable pupu offer.

But I'm having a hard time finding out even if they heat max everything they got, max times s*** is still ****, isn't it?

I want Dame but we're not desperate to get Dame. We're well-positioned either way. Tatum will sign a supermax next summer and we're increasingly asset-rich for a future all-in star trade. The only thing we don't really have should Giannis or Embiid or Luka shake free is a super attractive young player to headline a trade offer. We do need to develop young guys and find diamonds in the rough.

Still, I kinda doubt we're going to use the 2024 GS pick. I bet that gets moved this summer or sometime before the 2024 draft.

Boston would be insane to put out other than that message unless and until they had a deal absolutely nailed down.

Slim picking..

Blake Griffin
JaMychal Green
Bismack Biyombo
Dario Sarac
Wenyen Gabriel

Or a guy who's more of a PF / small ball 5 like Bazley, Watford or Christian Wood..

Gabriel lived in Manchester, NH during Middle school and high school - good kid.

Heat picks could be sneaky good especially if they get 2028, 2030 and swaps. Jimmy and Dame are 34 and 33.

Not really.

I think that center is held down by

C: Porzingas/Horford/Kornet

with
PF: Tatum/.../Griffin
SF: Brown/Hauser/Brisset
SG: White/...../Walsh
PG: Dame/Banton/...

Be using the TPE and Vet min on backup sg and backup PF
Davis/Green for the sg
Watford, Gabriel, Bazley for the backup PF spot.
Nunn, Smith, Neto for PG spot.

One thing to consider with these swaps, under the new CBA if a team is over the 2nd apron a number of years their first round picks get moved to the bottom of the first round. Something to factor in with these trades.

Welp as of 20 minutes ago, Dame to Miami just got a little less likely.

Dipo trade going official takes another peice off the board.

Joe is **** trash.

But Joe loves three pointers, so gotta build a 3 point jacking team.

I am not sure how much I am going to enjoy watching this team with no heart, no hustle and just dribble/pass around the outside and jack three pointers.

Boston took 2nd most 3s last season at 42.6 (just behind GSW 43.2)
On the flip side attempted the 28th most ftas.
15th in drives

And we were 2nd in the league in points per 100 possessions.
