Dame and Bobby for Jimmy and Herro

Dame and the 2031 for Fox and Keegan

Dame for VanVleet and Eason

Choose your own Adventure but he’s the only real tradable asset we have and he’s depreciating by the month.

These guys just don't have it anymore. Hopefully one of those pipe dream Brook, Bobby, Pat Connaughton deals from the trade ideas thread comes to fruition.

This is a 5th/6th seed team in a meh conference.

Winning a championship is hard. I appreciate the one from 3 years ago more each day.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

I don't hate it, but if we're pulling the ripcord on Dame now, I'm more for getting younger w/ Reaves & Cam Johnson (3-way) type move, as opposed to putting all the eggs in 1 basket & getting even older. But at least it'd be a guy who gives effort.

the owners may also like the jimmy for Dame trade since it it's boom or bust. a lot easier to sell to the fans as move Jimmy with only a 1 year PO if we flame out. if we flame out with dame, es negative value

He'll give effort after the Bucks give him a big contract. Then the Bucks will be paying a 39 year old Jimmy Butler. Just remember Pat Riley is a lot smarter than Horsty boy.

I really want to go to the Spurs game next week. Wemba didn't play here last season. But I can't justify spending money on this team. I'm on track to go to the fewest games in a season in many years.

Agree, but it's tricky because Jimmy makes $10k more than Dame.

Seems a bit over dramatic. Tickets are super cheap and if everyone is healthy it will be my first game of the year.

Pat Riley is about to turn 80. If he moves Jimmy it'll be be for another win-now piece.

Either that, or Andy Elisburg and Spoelstra are controlling the team and Riles is just a figurehead.

Hey I proposed this before anybody else!

Team just isn’t good offensively or defensively anymore, we need a recommitment to defense

Also bring back Pat Bev in mean time, if only to annoy & get under Dame’s skin

yeah, the 7 footer driving full speed while simultaneously trying to get separation by moving one arm towards the basketball while moving the hand with the ball in the opposite direction to cleanly get the ball off the glass while while a 7 footer is all over him ....lacks touch


Yeah, he should have got free throws, but this is exactly why he shot a pull up earlier in the season.

I didn't say I don't go to any games. I said I go to fewer games. That's smart not dramatic. Cost of tickets has nothing to do with it. I'll gladly pay more to see a better product.

He does get hacked alot. But can they call 20 fouls a game for him? Its just not going to happen.

Watching the “new look” Lakers lose at home to the Blazers will make me feel better. Until they beat us next game
