2023 offseason thread

[Wamu]

Nobody wants him? Lol

Maybe teams are a little concerned about his mental state after seeing how he dressed himself during the Finals?

 

[dtgold88]

No offense but I'll take the word of those who been around teams/this league for 10,20,30, or etc years who saw this happened briefly. I have heard this from multiple people within the NBA that this is a real thing.

You don't think Dame could have gotten a max bag outside of Portland? LOL

Not calling you a liar (that you heard it) but pretty sure it was RJ and Perk who were saying they did not think it was thing and were trying to think of examples that it was yesterday.

 

[dtgold88]

can you point to any examples?

RJ and Perk were asking for examples yesterday. Neither had one.

Honestly, I really don’t know what Dame would do.

I think it’s Miami or bust for him.

So, if Miami can’t find some decent return for Herro to send to Portland, Dame will have a come to Jesus moment.

For example….

Say the Celtics offered Time Lord and Picks and Portland found that suitable…

Would he accept the trade or would he just tuck ass and decide to stay in Portland, like Durant did when Brooklyn couldn’t get value?

Yeah, I agree. He obviously wants Miami, but add him to either of those teams and they become the EC favorites.

 

[Mebert]

If Portland is not careful Dame will spend years making subtle complaints, and when people ask to clarify claim it was just a miscommunication.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Compensated for having a new second best player on your team

Nah it’s more than likely taking a first to help out the Heat and back door their own interest in the Miami deal dying so they can acquire Dame.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Difference between this and the Durant situation is Brooklyn actually had a title caliber team so it was easy for Durant to sit his ass down and play ball.

Right, I agree.

Still, Lillard is their one big play.

Just like Phoenix had to give up the farm to get KD, Miami has to find a way to make this shit sandwich more palatable.

The biggest difference being, Phoenix already had the pieces on their roster and you don’t.

In fairness, I have no idea who actually fits the bill as a target.

KAT?

Why would they want Herro after handing Ant the bag?

Lauri?

Eh, they seem to be in love with him.

Zion?

Maybe if he shows up weighing 300 lbs again.

 

[dtgold88]

honestly- I cannot think of one guy coming off is rookie deal who did not take a max when offered except for LeBron.

Right...and even he took a 3-4 year deal.

 

[Shanemansj13]

I would deserve this after all the defending i did of Simmons @fightinfunbags lmao

If Miami adds Simmons, Butler is going to shit a brick

KAT is the perfect choice, but Connelly still trying to prove he can coexist with Gobert. Wolves will be ready to move on from him once his value is completely destroyed.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I think his seriously comment was for Nets wanting compensation for taking Herro contract

Yeah….I posted the wrong tweet.

Its been corrected.

Thanx

They share the same agent so maybe not

Look, I know he is shit on a stick.

But, I would do it….lol

I was thinking Zion too but not Herro for Zion. Dame for Zion, players and picks. If N.O. has interest in Dame, leave Miami out

 

[Shanemansj13]

Yeah of course you do it but Portland is the main factor in this deal. Just bc Miami is taking Simmons, is Portland getting what they want out of the deal? That’s the main issue.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Simmons has been humbled. Maybe this time around he is more susceptible to learning from Jimmy. He saw him as a threat before. With the Heat’s luck they likely resurrect the dude’s career.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

KAT is the perfect choice, but Connelly still trying to prove he can coexist with Gobert. Wolves will be ready to move on from him once his value is completely destroyed.

KAT would be a great get for the Blazers….imo

You could recoup all the picks you lost in the Gobert trade.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Yeah of course you do it but Portland is the main factor in this deal. Just bc Miami is taking Simmons, is Portland getting what they want out of the deal? That’s the main issue.

I just don’t see Dame being happy with that.

He would probably prefer to just stay put.

 

[Shanemansj13]

So if Miami does take Simmons, this makes the Nets happy BUT wtf are the Blazers getting. The Nets might throw in one pick, 2 from Miami. Then a bunch of role players.

Doesn’t make sense. DFS, Martin, Jovic, Lowry expiring? Seriously.

Ben is not with Klutch?
