So this is interesting if we're to believe the rumble right now which is KD, Kyrie AND Butler all want to play for the Knicks in the next couple of seasons. These columnists are all over the place with this crap. SMH

To your point about playing w/ Bron, it did appear that Kawhi chose not to play with him so is it a stretch to think Dame might feel the same way?
Honestly?

Yes, it is.

Kawhi and LeBron play the same position.

Butler is delusional enough to believe he's just as good.

Kyrie won a chip and wanted to be the man.

George plays the same position and was upset that the Lakers didn't trade for him.

Dame knows he can't win as the #1 with a scoring only #2 in CJ.

His game is perfect to pair with Lebron.

Pau is. Marc? He averaged 17 and 8 last season, he just needs to stay healthy IMO.
Fair enough.

Let me rephrase.

25 mil for the next 2 years for a dinosaur who shot 3 of 11 for 13 points and that led your team in scoring?

He's cooked as a franchise center.

Yes, it was only one game.

But, they have the 11th highest payroll in the NBA.

If they aren't in playoff contention by the deadline, he and/or Conley are gone.

I like Mike.

But, not for 34 million a year.

why would the Blazers deal Lillard for Ball?

Do you really think Ball has any kind of substantial value at this point after his shooting woes and already having knee surgery?

Maybe if he re-establishes some value- but id rather have Sexton than Ball if i had to choose either one at this point in time.

I wouldn't trade Dame for Lonzo AND Sexton.

No, the Blazers would be insane. It would probably take Ball and Ingram.

Lonzo most definitely would need to play well to reestablish any value in a trade for a elite player like Lillard.

Oh, I get that. Not saying he's in his prime.....just not cooked.

Over-paid I can agree with.

Oh I completely agree they would be good compliments to each other's game. But my point was more of him not wanting to play w/ Bron because Dame craves the spot light. If he plays with Bron (especially in LA) he will then have to live with being the #2 - and I think we can agree that is not what Dame wants.

Compared to what he was, he's cooked.

Dude used to be a force defensively and was pretty good , offensively.

He is a shell of himself.

He has been in decline since Fizz, correctly, benched him.

Yeah, great point.

Concede.

Fans don't get to decide what these guys do with their careers.

It's his life and it appears he doesn't want to be anyone's little brother.

Yea but that would be a nice duo for sure. More specifically because defenses have to respect Dame's jumper which is the perfect compliment to Bron's game.

So far, according to columnists, by about 2020, the Knicks starting lineup will have Porzingis, KD, Kyrie, Butler. lol

Because most GM's aren't blinded by moronic hate like you are and can actually look at a players overall game and potential.

I don't see the Lakers giving up Ingram at all.

Part of what they get in a trade would be determined by whether or not Dame wants out and how badly. Ball, Hart, picks or Ball, Kuzma, picks might get it done.

Of course, with the way these things have gone lately, they'd likely end up taking a deal from some team who was willing to risk getting him as a 1 year rental.

I agree. I expect Ingram to have a REALLY GOOD SEASON.

Much as it pains me, Klay is probably the most perfect Robin to LeBrons Batman out there. But the Ws will max him if that's what it takes. They can do so if KD leaves , which it's looking more and more like.

If the Dubs are back to the core 3 they stop winning titles (fine with me they will have 4 in 5 yrs). Maybe Boogie gets them another but at some point the movie has to end.

I agree and I'd trade the Thompson signing for KD signing with the Lakers.
