ETA: Didn't notice the audio was linked. Yep. Just a really high opinion of DFS. Also mentioned Bojan. I don't think either of these help us at all.

Broken record, I know, but I just can't imagine Dame refusing to play with a player of Giannis's caliber. It ain't South Beach, I get it, but it legit would be the best shot he's ever gotten or will ever get for a ring. A Dame/Giannis duo is the frontrunner, period. Worth it.

Might be case scenario why Giannis is pulling this ish.

Salary filler would need to be added, but:
NYK:Jrue
ATL: Barrett
MKE: quickley, bogdan, Dallas ‘24 first, Sacramento ‘24 first
Atlanta would likely need to make a follow up trade to better arrange their team, but I could see their interest.
Milwaukee would then have 3 firsts, 2 swaps, marjon, Bobby, etc to trade mid-season.

I like it.
“My sense is that the Blazers have done a lot more talking with teams in the last say 10 to 14 days than they did probably in at least a month plus prior,” Woj said. “And a big part of that is the league is back to work now after Labor Day, and training camp is starting to approach. And that’s the next real deadline in this process.
“But I think Portland, what they’ve been trying to do, is see how they could put together multi-team deals that would get them the assets that they would want: draft picks, young players.
“There might be a team that their best asset is a veteran player that doesn’t interest the Blazers, but there’s a third team who might want to take on that veteran and then send whether it’s a young player or picks in part to Portland.
“So I think they’ve been in communication with a lot of teams trying to find a structure of a deal that can get them a Damian Lillard trade. We’ll see now how much traction they can get between now and the start of camp,” means the three weeks between now and October 3.

How about Jrue + Bobby?

Why is Cam Payne a no brainer add for us? Why would we make our roster worse just to add a guy that is considered a back up pg just because you think we dont have enough ball handlers? We are fine. If we are going to make a move it should be to improve the roster. What very little actual back up PG ball handling role Jevon filled last year (ie bringing the ball up) can easily be replaced by Andre Jackson (and AJ Green for that matter).
