Haynes: Damian Lillard Requests Trade

Portland's selling a mostly used tube of toothpaste, while asking full price.

One of the off name brands too

Yeah I disagree with Trae. I'd rather have the much larger window to compete with prime Trae, Siakam, OG, and Poeltl than the 2 years with Lillard. It would allow Masai to slowly add depth and maybe even another star with Trae compared to Lillard.

Towns is a bad fit and really doesn't look to have "it" for playoff basketball.

And what are you giving up in value for him?

And who doesn't get re-signed because his 30 million salary blocks them out?

Absolutely nothing. He is not worth his contract. If anything we get Herro+ for expiring contracts. Again, GTJ has similar on court performance offensively with significantly better defensive play with room for growth.

They can have a poo poo platter of Thad, Malachi and Boucher for him.

I threw up a little in my mouth with the thought of Tyler Herro being anywhere near our team. What is with the Herro love affair?

Herro/Scottie dribble hand off combo moves me.

Masai has tried to trade for him before and for good reason. There were 23 NBA players in 2022/23 that averaged 20+ ppg, 5+ rpg, 4+ apg and Herro was one of them, he's done it the past 2 years, is one of the best 3 pt and ft shooters in the league and is still only 23 with room to grow. Not everyone can be solid 2 ways players but players that can do what Herro can, don't grow in trees.

Solid offensive player for sure, but I'm not sure he is worth game planning for to hide on defence.

If the team commits to a development/rebuild getting rid of Siakam (and possibly OG for significant draft capital)

A year or two of all-vibes offense and poopoo defense might be fun.

Herro/Nowell
GTJ/Dick
Barnes/Robinson
OG
Poetl/Koloko

:lol:

Dame: 45-63M (4 years)
Trae: 40-48M (4 years)
Hero: 27-33M (4 years)

Dame's the better scorer, he's also on the least relevant team. More points =/= more wins. Trae looks like the younger, cheaper version. Hero's not really in their class as a scorer. Whoever we can steal the cheapest is best IMO.

So he's Spencer Dinwiddle.... just younger. There's also nothing about his game that is going to improve all that much. He's lazy without the ball... that's a brain thing.

The only thing I want to see out of this is Portland thoroughly extorting the Heat.

I thought trading a pile of futures for Durant was a bad idea last year, this is worse imo.

Dinwiddie has never averaged 20/5/4, averaged 20ppg only once and Herro is a superior shooter. As for being lazy without the ball, you don't average 5 rpg being lazy. Herro would be perfect with a developmental coach like Darko.

He’s an elite shooter that can also act as a secondary playmaker. Herro’s an ideal buy low candidate and would actually help balance the roster. Raptors fans massively underrate players that aren’t on our team.

Good point about Herro, but the majority of this board hates any Raptor that's older than 21

he's overpaid; whatever he gives you on offence, he takes back on defense.
is he's so good how come miami brings him off the bench.
if we can get him for thad young + boucher, sure; otherwise the heat can take a hike.
